King Size Beds

What Size is a King Size Bed?

In the UK, king size bed dimensions are 5ft wide (150cm) and 6ft6 long (200cm). This makes it wider than a double bed and slightly smaller than a super king size bed. It’s the ideal balance of comfort and space, giving couples more room without overwhelming a standard bedroom.

Why Choose a King Size Bed?

• Extra sleeping space – more room to relax without disturbing your partner.

• Fits most bedrooms – larger than a double, smaller than a super king.

• Versatility – available as a king size ottoman bed, divan, or bed frame.

• Storage-friendly options – choose a king size bed with storage to keep your bedroom clutter-free.

Buying Guide: How to Pick the Right King Size Bed

When buying a king size bed, consider:

• Room Size – Measure your space before you buy. A king size bed works well in medium to large bedrooms but check if there’s still room for wardrobes, side tables, or walking space.

• Style & Colour – Think about what fits your décor. A neutral fabric bed can blend into most rooms, while a bold colour creates a statement.

• Storage Needs – If you need extra storage, go for an ottoman bed or a divan with drawers.

• Mattress Choice – A king size bed and mattress together is often the best buy for long-term comfort.

• Future-Proofing – If you want even more space, consider moving up to a super king size bed.
