Exactly How Big is a King Size bed?

In terms of popularity, few mattress types can really compete with king size. It offers exceptional space and comfort when resting, eliminating the arguments between couples over encroachment. However, does it have a standard size?

Well there are subtle variations, with some models being slightly different. However, as a general rule they tend to shape up at 150 x 200 cm – certainly in the UK at least. Different territories have their own classifications for defining bed sizes, which complicates matters somewhat. Whilst American or Australian king size beds measure up at around 180 x 210 cms, in the United Kingdom these are the dimensions of a super king size – a little confusing, I’m sure you’ll agree. This can lead to a bit of a muddle amongst those looking to buy a bed. However, the most important thing is that the king size or super king size is usually the largest standard bed available. And whether it is 150 or 180 centimetres wide shouldn’t make a huge difference as you will still have significantly more room available than in a standard double or queen sized bed.

For those who work in inches rather than centimetres the size is equivalent to 60 x 78 in the UK and 72 x 80 elsewhere. This extra size does come with additional expense of course, with many charging hundreds if not thousands for the mattress and bed. However, for most this is a price worth paying to enjoy a comfortable night’s sleep and the freedom to spread out in your own bed.

Of course there are options beyond the size of a bed that you may also want to consider. Not all mattresses are created equal, so it’s worth testing out a few to find your perfect king sized bed. Anybody who suffers from allergic reactions to airborne particles will know just how difficult it can be to get comfortable at night. If you’re affected by this kind of allergy, you might want to consider investing in a hypoallergenic mattress to provide you with optimal comfort. Equally, it is well worth testing a number of different models within a store. Whilst you may want to buy elsewhere, or even online if you find a better deal here, it’s always worth seeing if it is too soft or too hard, especially if you have a particular preference.

Sometimes you need to look beyond size alone to ensure that you have a mattress that offers optimal levels of comfort. A one size fits all model may not yet exist for the king size beds; however that isn’t to say that you won’t enjoy unrivalled comfort and room for manoeuvre. The difference between 150 x 200cm and 180 x 200 may not be insignificant; however, regardless of the size disparity you will still be assured space and comfort aplenty.
