The Olympic Queen is one of the least-talked-about mattress sizes — and one of the most useful for a specific set of shoppers. If you've ever felt cramped on a standard queen but don't have the room (or budget) for a king, this size might be exactly what you're looking for.
An Olympic Queen mattress measures 66 inches wide by 80 inches long. A standard Queen is 60 inches wide — so the Olympic Queen gives you 6 extra inches of width, the same length, and a noticeably more spacious feel.
It sits between a Queen and a King in terms of width (a King is 76 inches wide), making it a practical choice for couples who need more room than a standard Queen but don't have the bedroom space — or budget — for a full King setup.
It's a non-standard size, which means dedicated Olympic Queen frames and bedding are less common than standard sizes. That's an important practical consideration before you commit.
| Size | Dimensions (W × L) | Compared to Queen | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Twin | 38" × 75" | — | Children, single adults, small rooms |
| Full | 54" × 75" | — | Single adults, smaller rooms |
| Queen | 60" × 80" | — | Couples or spacious singles |
| Olympic Queen | 66" × 80" | +6" wider | Couples needing more space |
| King | 76" × 80" | +16" wider | Couples with large bedrooms |
| California King | 72" × 84" | +12" wider, +4" longer | Tall individuals, large rooms |
As a general rule, your bedroom should be at least 11 × 12 feet to comfortably fit an Olympic Queen with room to move around the sides and foot of the bed. For comfortable navigation with dressers and other furniture, 12 × 14 feet is better.
If your room is smaller than that, a standard Queen mattress at 60" wide gives you more breathing room on the sides.

66 inches wide by 80 inches long. It's 6 inches wider than a standard Queen (60" × 80") and 10 inches narrower than a King (76" × 80").
No. The Olympic Queen is 66 inches wide; a standard Queen is 60 inches wide. They are the same length (80 inches). Standard Queen sheets and frames will not fit an Olympic Queen mattress.
Less so than standard sizes. Olympic Queen sheets and comforters are available from specialty bedding retailers and online, but you'll have fewer options and may pay a premium compared to standard Queen bedding.
We can discuss custom sizing options — speak with our team at any LA showroom or contact us directly to explore what's available.
It works best in rooms that are at least 11 × 12 feet. For smaller rooms, a standard Queen gives you more walkable space on both sides. For larger rooms, a King may be a better use of the space.
Yes — standard Queen frames are designed for 60" wide mattresses and won't support a 66" Olympic Queen properly. You'll need a frame specifically sized for Olympic Queen or an adjustable frame that accommodates this width.
Custom sizing is available across memory foam, innerspring, hybrid, and latex constructions through specialty retailers. Standard retail inventory is limited for this size.
It depends on the manufacturer, but custom sizing often adds cost compared to standard sizes. A King in a standard model is frequently priced similarly to or less than a custom Olympic Queen of equivalent quality.
If your bedroom physically can't accommodate a King (76" wide), the Olympic Queen gives you more width than a standard Queen while fitting in a medium-sized room. If your room can take a King, the King is usually the more practical long-term choice given the wider availability of frames and bedding.
No. Standard Queen sheets are cut for 60" width and will be too narrow for a 66" Olympic Queen. Use sheets specifically designed for Olympic Queen or oversize Queen dimensions.
