Converting a full bed to a queen is a smart move for anyone looking to save money, reuse existing furniture, or make better use of their space. Whether you’re upgrading a guest room, keeping a beloved old bed frame, furnishing a rental, or simply trying to stretch your budget, making this change can be a practical and rewarding decision.
However, it’s not as simple as swapping one mattress for another. A queen mattress is about 6 inches wider and 5 inches longer than a full, and those extra inches make a noticeable difference—not only for your comfort and sleeping space but also for frame compatibility, support, and overall aesthetics. Without the right adjustments, you could end up with gaps, uneven support, or even damage to your frame.

When you search online for “best furniture brands,” you’ll find glossy lists full of luxury imports, clickbait rankings, and trendy direct-to-consumer names.

At Hearthside, our answer to “what’s the best furniture brand?” is different. The best brand is the one that suits your lifestyle, your home, and your expectations for quality and service. That’s why we’ve spent decades curating a trusted lineup of furniture makers — from Amish woodworking shops to leading upholstery brands to the best in décor and care.
