Looking for more space to stretch out? A king size bed (150 x 200 cm) gives couples extra width and length compared to a double, making it a popular upgrade for master bedrooms. This guide will help you choose the best king size bed frame and king size mattress for the comfort and support you need every night.
What Makes King Size Beds Special?
A king bed frame is bigger than a double. It gives you plenty of room to spread out and get a great night sleep. If you share your bed, you’ll both have room to stretch without bumping into each other.
King size beds measure 76 inches wide and 80 inches long. That’s a lot more space than smaller bed sizes!
Different Types of King Size Bed
There’s a huge range of king size beds to choose from. Here are the most popular options:
King Size Ottoman Beds
These are great for space saving. The mattress lifts up to show a big storage space underneath. Perfect if your bedroom is small but you need extra storage.
King Size Divan Beds
Divan beds have a solid base and often come with drawers built in. They’re simple and practical. Many people love these because they offer good storage options.
King Size Bed with Storage
Any bed that has built-in storage helps keep your room tidy. You can store sheets, clothes, or other items right under where you sleep.
King Size TV Bed
A king size tv bed has a TV built right into the footboard. You can watch shows or movies from bed without needing a separate TV stand.
Super King Beds
Want even more space? A super king bed is a biggest option. It’s perfect if you have a large bedroom and want maximum comfort.
Choosing King Size Bed Frames
Your king size bed frames need to be strong and look good in your room. Here’s what to think about:
- Wooden King Size Bed frames are sturdy and timeless
- Metal frames are modern and often cost less
- Upholstered frames are soft and cosy
The right frame makes your bed look great and a bed adds style to your whole bedroom.
King Size Mattresses – What You Need to Know
A good mattress is super important for good sleep. King size mattresses come in different types:
- Memory foam – shapes to your body
- Spring mattresses – bouncy and supportive
- Hybrid – combines foam and springs
- Latex – natural and long-lasting
Try different types to see what feels best for you.
Storage Options and Space Saving Ideas
If your bedroom isn’t huge, storage options can help a lot:
King size ottoman beds are amazing for storage. You lift the mattress and there’s a big space underneath for blankets, clothes, or anything else.
Divan beds with drawers give you easy access to storage without lifting anything.
These space saving solutions help keep your room neat and organized.
Where to Buy Your King Size Bed
When you’re ready to buy your king size bed, you have two main options: online or in-store shopping. Both work great for finding the perfect mattress.
Online Shopping
Most of our customers (about 80%) choose to shop online, and they love their new beds just as much as in-store shoppers! Online shopping lets you browse our full range at your own pace. You can read detailed product descriptions, check out honest customer reviews, and take time to compare different king size bed frames and king size mattresses without any pressure.
The best part? Many of our mattresses come with sleep trials, so you can try your new bed at home where it matters most. If it’s not quite right, we’ll help you find something that works better.
In-Store Shopping
If you prefer to test before you buy, visit one of our stores in Greater Manchester and Cheshire. Our bed and mattress experts can guide you through the options and answer questions face-to-face.

Making Your Bed Even Better

- Get good sheets made from cotton or bamboo
- Choose pillows that support your head and neck
- Use a mattress protector to keep your mattress clean
- Rotate your mattress every few months
- If it’s a double sided mattress, it will need regular flipping too
