King Size Beds

A king size bed frame is 5'0" x 6'6" (150cm x 200cm, 59" x 79"). This means there is plenty of room for most sleepers, with our largest bed, the super king size bed, being the same length but a little wider. A king-size bed is significantly longer and wider than a double bed, so if you find your double too small or enjoy having plenty of space when you sneak for a nap, a king-size bed is perfect.

There are lots of king-size beds available, and thankfully, Happy Beds stocks many of them. If you need clarification about the best king-size bed, find out more about each type below.

• King Size Storage Beds - a good storage bed contains space underneath the bed or via built-in drawers to store clothes and other bits and bobs. That way, you can enjoy the wide space of a 5ft bed without sacrificing storage space.
• King Size TV Beds - our television beds bring a splash of Hollywood to your bedroom. Having space for your TV at the foot of the king bed allows you to enjoy your favourite films and shows from the comfort of your mattress.

As the second largest bed available in the UK, the main benefit of a king-size bed is the additional sleep space it offers. This is particularly handy if you like stretching out or sharing your bed with a partner and having space. The extra inches are also helpful if you have regular 'bed invaders', like the kids, dogs and cats, who join you at night.

In terms of decor, a king-size bed frame can make a real statement in your bedroom and bring a sense of grandeur to the space. This is especially true of upholstered king beds with plush buttoned headboards.

Generally, a bedroom that is 400cm or more in width and length will fit a king-size bed frame. However, this is just a guide. Get the measuring tape to know if a king-size bed fits your space! Using the measurements above, you should indicate how much room you need.

Typically, the actual size of the bed will be larger than those measurements. Once you factor in the frame, headboard and foot end, it adds a few centimetres to the overall size. So, if there's a specific king-size bed frame you have your eye on, we'd always recommend checking the precise dimensions of that frame.

To be sure, read our bed size guide for more information. If you opt for a king-size storage bed, make sure to factor in the frame's unique features - for instance, if your king-size bed frame has side drawers, you'll need space for them to open. At the same time, this may seem like extra space to account for, but a king-size storage bed can help you save on space elsewhere by eliminating the need for some freestanding furniture.

Despite their large size, king-sized beds are surprisingly affordable. At Happy Beds, you can buy a king-size bed frame for less than £150. However, the price will vary depending on the type of bed frame you're looking for.
