Generally, Queen beds suit rooms that measure around 9.6 by 10 square feet and are an excellent choice for rooms with a space of up to 10 by 14 square feet. Most queen beds are placed in the master bedrooms, which measure many feet larger than normal bedrooms, thus offering a lot of extra space to move around. The term “master bedroom” was coined in the early 20th century to symbolize that this room was reserved for the master of the house. The word “master” traditionally denoted that the person using the room was a man. Placing a queen bed or an Olympic queen in a master bedroom also helps have more floor space in the room, making it look even bigger.
