Is a 9x12 bedroom big enough for a queen bed and a dresser?

Yes. A 60 in x 80 in queen leaves 64 in (163 cm) at the foot in a 9 x 12 ft room, which takes a 55 in x 20 in dresser and still leaves room to open it. A wardrobe fits too.

Which way should a queen bed face in a 9x12 room?

Headboard on a 9 ft wall. Turning the bed to run across the room does not help, and this way the spare length collects at the foot as 64 in of open floor while each side keeps 24 in (61 cm).

Will a queen bed fit in a 9x12 room?

Yes — with care

Quick answer Yes, and the number that decides how it feels is 24 in (61 cm), the gap on each side of a centred queen in a 9 x 12 ft room. In front of the footboard there is 64 in (163 cm), so this room is long rather than tight. Everything generous about it runs lengthwise; the sides are as narrow as they would be in a much smaller room.

The numbers

Room	9 × 12 ft (274 × 366 cm) — 108 sq ft
Bed	Queen bed, 60 in × 80 in (152 × 203 cm)
Floor the bed covers	31%
Gap each side, bed centred	24 in (61 cm)
Gap on one side, bed against a wall	48 in (122 cm)
Gap at the foot	64 in (163 cm)

A 9 ft wall is barely wider than a queen with a walkway on either side, and no amount of rearranging changes that, since turning the bed only makes the side gaps worse. What the extra length gives you is a second zone: 64 in at the foot is deep enough to be a piece of furniture and a path, not just a path. The bed lands on 31% of 108 sq ft, and the leftover sits in one usable block instead of three thin strips.

Where to put the bed

Headboard against one of the 9 ft walls, centred, and treat the long walls as the storage walls. If only one person uses the bed, pushing it to a long wall turns the two 24 in strips into one 48 in (122 cm) side and makes that wall genuinely usable. Try both positions in ToScale, because the side gap is the number that changes and it changes a lot.

What else fits

This is where the foot of the bed starts earning its keep: a 55 in x 20 in dresser fits there with room to pull a drawer out and step back, thanks to the 64 in in front of the bed. A wardrobe fits as well. Nightstands go on both sides at 18 in wide, but an 18 in box in a 24 in gap leaves the walkway noticeably thinner beside it.
