What size is a king size bed?

A British king size bed is designed to fit a 150cm by 200cm mattress. King size bed frames and bed bases are made to accommodate this standard size, though the overall footprint can vary depending on the design. Headboards, footboards and frame details may add extra width or length, so it is always worth checking the full dimensions before planning your space.

What size room is needed for a king size bed?

A king size bed suits bedrooms where there is comfortable clearance around the bed for everyday movement. As a guide, allow space for bedside tables and easy access on both sides, as well as room to open wardrobes or drawers nearby. In tighter rooms, a simpler king size bed frame or a more streamlined king size bed base can help the layout feel calm and well balanced.
