Different markets, so this is a translation rather than a choice. The European bed closest in width to Queen is EU Queen at 160 cm — this comparison is the nearest equivalent there is, and it is still 7.6 cm out.
Which one to buy
A trade rather than an upgrade: EU Queen is 7.6 cm wider, Queen is 3.2 cm longer. Width if two people share it, length if one of them is tall — you cannot have both without leaving this pair.
Does the same bedding fit both?
It will go on, but not well. The gap is 7.6 cm in width and 3.2 cm in length. A fitted sheet will strain on EU Queen and wrinkle on Queen; flat sheets and duvet covers are more forgiving.
Space per person
Shared between two adults, Queen gives each sleeper 76 cm and EU Queen gives 80 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: 272.4 × 263.2 cm for Queen, 280 × 260 cm for EU Queen — a difference of 7.6 cm in the room, not just the bed. Against a wall on one side, take 60 cm off.
