Look at what the inches are made of. Two extra inches of low-density foam may not help much. Coil height, foam quality and support matter more than the number on the box.
How thick should a queen mattress be for everyday adult use?
#10 inch mattress#12 inch mattress#mattress#products#queen mattress
I see 8-inch, 10-inch, 12-inch and 14-inch mattresses. Is 10 inches enough, or should I pay more for 12 inches?

People compare mattress thickness and whether 10-inch or 12-inch beds are better for daily adult use.
Answers & Discussion
For daily adult use, I prefer 12 inches because it usually gives more room for comfort layers and support. I’m not saying everyone needs it, but I noticed less bottoming-out on the thicker mattress.
A good 10-inch mattress can be enough, especially for lighter people or guest rooms. Thickness alone does not equal quality. A bad 12-inch mattress is still bad if the foam and support layer are weak.
