Sleep Like Royalty on a King Size Bed

A king-size bed isn’t just named after royalty; it delivers royal comfort, too. With its generous proportions, stylish design, and unmatched space, it’s the bed of choice for those who want to sleep better and live better.

If you’ve ever wondered why so many people love king beds or whether it’s worth getting one for your home, this guide covers everything you need to know, from dimensions and benefits to whether a king bed can actually improve your sleep.

 

What Is a King Size Bed?

A king-size bed is one of the largest standard bed sizes in the UK, designed to provide couples and families with extra room to stretch, relax, and sleep comfortably throughout the night.

At The Bed Village Yorkshire, a standard UK king-size bed typically measures 5ft (150cm) wide by 6ft 6in (200cm) long, while a super king-size bed measures up to 6ft (180cm) wide by 6ft 6in (200cm) long.

King beds are ideal for master bedrooms and larger spaces, especially when paired with a statement headboard or upholstered frame. If you’re worried about getting one upstairs or through narrow hallways, don’t be; our beds can be easily disassembled and reassembled for convenient transport and installation.

 

How Big Is a King Size Bed?

To put it simply, it’s big enough for comfort, but not too big to overwhelm your space.

A king-size bed provides ample room for two adults and even leaves space for pets or a child to join in the morning without feeling cramped.

Compared to a double bed (4ft6), the king-size bed offers an extra 6 inches in width and 3 inches in length, making a noticeable difference in sleep quality and overall comfort.

 

Why Do People Like King Size Beds So Much?

There’s a good reason king-size beds remain one of the most popular choices across the UK. Here’s why people love them:

• Space to move freely – Ideal for couples who toss and turn or prefer more personal space.
• Enhanced comfort – A larger surface means better pressure distribution and less disturbance.
• Aesthetic appeal – A king-size bed gives your bedroom a luxurious, balanced look.
• Great for families – Perfect for those weekend mornings when the kids (or the dog) hop in.

 

Do You Sleep Better in a Size Bed?

Indeed, many people report sleeping better in a king-size bed due to the extra space and support it provides. You’re less likely to be disturbed by your partner’s movements, and you can stretch out fully without hitting the edge of the mattress.

Better sleep means better posture, reduced restlessness, and a refreshed start to your day. It’s not just about size; it’s about comfort that supports your health and lifestyle.

 

Is It Worth Getting a Size Bed?

If you have the space for it, a king-size bed is absolutely worth it. Here’s why:

• Better sleep quality – More room equals fewer interruptions and deeper rest.
• Ideal for all body types – No more cramped sleeping; both partners enjoy full comfort.
• Long-term investment – King beds are durable and retain their value, especially when built with quality materials.
• Stylish statement – It adds a sense of grandeur to your room.

At The Bed Village Yorkshire, prices for a king-size bed typically start around £400–£500, depending on your chosen design and features, including upholstered finishes and built-in storage options.
