Commonly found in master bedrooms, a king-size mattress measures 76 inches wide by 80 inches long and works perfectly in larger spaces. It’s the second-largest mattress you’ll find (California king is the largest) on the market and works well in a variety of settings. If you’re ready to invest in a new king-size mattress, read on for some helpful FAQs.
Who Should Use a King Mattress?
A king mattress is ideal for couples who want a little extra space while sleeping or for those who like to invite everyone (kids and fur kids included) into bed to snuggle. King mattresses work best in bedrooms and master bedrooms with ample space. According to experts, your bedroom should be at least 12 feet by 9.10 feet to properly fit a king-sized mattress.
How Do I Know If a King Mattress Will Fit in My Room?
When shopping for king-sized beds and headboards you need to make sure you’ll have enough space on all sides. Your bedroom is your sanctuary and there’s nothing calming about a cluttered room. If you’re also purchasing a bedroom set, plan your layout in advance. Use measuring tape to ensure your bed, dresser and nightstands will all be spaced out properly without disrupting the flow of traffic.
What Type of King-Sized Mattress Should I Buy?
We recommend that you try out a variety of styles before you purchase any mattress. To narrow your options down, check out latex, spring, memory foam and hybrid mattresses to see which one best suits your sleep style. From there, you can look for added features like cooling technology, spinal support and more.
What Bed Linens Should I Buy for My King Mattress?
