How To Convert A Full Size Bed To Queen

Converting a full size bed to a queen size bed is a relatively simple process that can be completed in a few hours. This can be a great way to upgrade your sleeping space without having to purchase a new bed frame. Here are the steps on how to convert a full size bed to a queen:

Remove the mattress and box spring from the bed frame.
Measure the length and width of the bed frame. The length of a queen size bed is 60 inches, and the width is 80 inches. If the bed frame is not already these dimensions, you will need to adjust it.
If the bed frame is too short, you will need to add extensions to the sides. These extensions can be purchased at most hardware stores.
If the bed frame is too narrow, you will need to add a center support rail. This rail can also be purchased at most hardware stores. You attach it to the existing side rails of the bed frame and then add the additional slats to support the queen size mattress.
Attach the new slats to the bed frame. The slats should be spaced evenly apart and should provide adequate support for the mattress.
Place the box spring and mattress on the bed frame. Make sure that the mattress is centered on the bed frame.
Enjoy your new queen size bed!

Here are some additional tips for converting a full size bed to a queen:

Use a level to make sure that the bed frame is level before attaching the slats.
Make sure that the slats are securely attached to the bed frame.
Use a mattress pad to help protect the mattress and provide additional comfort.
Add a headboard and footboard to complete the look of your new bed.
