King Size Beds

What makes a king sized bed better than a double bed?

If you're struggling with sleep, a king-sized bed might help. The extra space can reduce disruptions from a fidgety partner, especially with a pocket spring mattress. More room also allows air to circulate through your duvet, keeping you cool in summer. For better cooling, consider a king-sized bed with a gel mattress.

You might not need a king sized bed frame now, but it may be a sensible option for the future. If you are planning on expanding the family, the extra space is a welcome addition during pregnancy to help with getting a more comfortable night’s sleep. You may be thankful for the extra space when your little ones pay you an unplanned midnight visit, whether that’s due to a bad dream, or just an excuse for a pillow fight.

If you're low on additional floor space, you can still sleep in luxury with a king size bed, just opt for one with storage options. These offer a great solution for space-saving, but remember to account for space around the bed for divan drawers to open fully or ceiling height for an ottoman to lift.

How big should a bedroom be for a king size bed?

In general, any room that is above 400cm in width and length should comfortably accommodate a king-size bed and some bedroom furniture. However, whilst the above measurements are traditional, standardised dimensions, you need to be aware that a king size bed with a headboard and footboard will sometimes be a little bigger than the figures we've provided.

What are the different types of king beds?

With so much choice, you can find one to suit any décor. Due to their size, king size beds are often used as statement pieces in the bedroom, but you can also find subtler choices in our range.

TV beds

For the ultimate in luxury, consider king size TV beds. With the TV hidden in the foot end, you can make your room feel like a cinema. These beds often have speakers installed within the frame too, meaning you can watch those late-night boxsets in comfort and style.

Sleigh beds

These lavish frames come in wooden, faux leather, and velvet finish upholstered, so you have plenty of style options. The curved head and footboard add a touch of regality to your bedroom, just ensure that you account for the additional space needed for the scrolls before you buy.

Upholstered beds

King upholstered beds can make a real statement. Available in a variety of colours, from neutrals to match any décor to bold shades that will make a statement in all bedrooms. Try one of our super-soft velvet finish frames or dark faux leather frames to make your bedroom a unique space.
