Two double beds do not make a queen. A queen bed measures 60 inches wide by 80 inches long, whereas a double bed (or full) measures 54 inches wide by 75 inches long. Combining two double beds would result in a bed that is too wide and too short for standard queen dimensions. Consider a bed bridge to join two twin beds if creating a larger sleeping area is the goal.
