We had to sit the box springs on the floor in order to get into bed and the queen quilts are now too short. I've given up on the doubles and run them long ways across the bed and use as duvets.
The one I just finished is 108" long, I'll find out next weekend when I remake the bed if it will need an extender too!
I had the same problem when I went from a double to a queen. I got a frame that was lower to the floor and that solved that problem.
