Which one to buy
Queen is bigger on both edges, 15.2 cm wider and 12.7 cm longer. It is the straightforward upgrade, and the 15.2 cm of width is also 15.2 cm of floor you no longer have.
Does the same bedding fit both?
No. 15.2 cm of width and 12.7 cm of length are far outside what a fitted sheet absorbs. Buy for the size you own and read the centimetres, not the label.
Space per person
Shared between two adults, Full gives each sleeper 69 cm and Queen gives 76 cm. For comparison, a single bed is 90 cm wide, so anything under that is less room each than a single bed gives one person.
Room each one needs
With 60 cm to walk down each side and 60 cm at the foot: 257.2 × 250.5 cm for Full, 272.4 × 263.2 cm for Queen — a difference of 15.2 cm in the room, not just the bed. Against a wall on one side, take 60 cm off.
