Generally speaking, a non-Master bedroom at 10'x12' without including the closet is "comfortable."

IMO no double bed a queen I think is the min. also much harder to find bedding for a double. Is this guest room ? The use of the room will dictate the closet size IMO. Maybe a bit of info as to why you are asking. but the above is going to work even with a queen

You need to have at least 2.5' on either side of the bed and preferably 3'-4'. So whether you use a double (fine) or a queen, think about the amount of space you need for moving around the room and for opening the closet doors.

Width x Length

Full (Double) 54″ x 75″

Queen 60″ x 80″

So the minimum width room for a queen bed is 10'. But that's definitely tight. There is some good information and layouts here.
