What Is a King Size Bed?

A king bed is an expansive mattress style that can comfortably fit at least two persons and even has space left over for young kids or a medium-sized pooch in addition to the main sleeping area. A king-size mattress is the widest and thickest among other standard-sized mattresses, making it ideal for those who prefer to sleep in more space.  

Four Things to Consider When Purchasing a King Bed 

Accessibility: If your bedroom is at least 12'10" x 9'10", you should consider a king-size bed. Having a king-sized bed in a small room can make it challenging to get around the rest of the furniture, so designers recommend leaving at least 30 inches of clearance around the bed. You can fill out your master bedroom by using a king-sized bed as the focal point. 

Occupants: A king-sized mattress is an excellent choice for couples who have to share a bed. You may want to consider a smaller size, such as a queen-sized bed if you don't plan on sharing your bed with anyone else. 

Sleeping style: The amount of space needed for a good night's sleep varies from person to person. People over six feet two inches in height and those who like to move around while they sleep should opt for a king-sized bed (or one that is at least that size). To accommodate people with larger frames or prefer more room to stretch out while they sleep, consider getting a California king-size bed instead of the standard king-size. 

The Frame: Some king-sized bed frames are three to five inches wider than the mattress to provide adequate support. Many bed frames, take up more space or add more visual weight than other types of bed frames. You might consider purchasing a rail frame, a slim metal frame, or a minimal wood floor joist frame for your queen mattress if you have limited space. These frames are typically closer to the size of the mattress than other options. 

Different types of king-sized bed frames

• King-sized bed frames can be made of solid wood, pinewood, or engineered wood, depending on your personal preference and your budget: 

• Typically, a mattress can rest on a platform bed frame without a box spring or foundation support system. Mattresses can be used because they are lower to the ground. 

• Wooden slats that run the bed frame length provide additional support for beds made with a wood frame and slats. 

• Bed frames made of metal Reliable and long-lasting, metal bed frames can withstand the additional weight and will last for years to come. 

• Headboard, base, and dual-side panels form a four-wall frame on a panel bed. With a box spring and a heavy mattress, panel beds are renowned for their stability.

Trending Designs for King-Size Beds 

The next step is picking out a style to go with your king-sized bed. We've compiled a list of some of the most unusual and popular king bed designs, including canopy beds and storage beds. 

1. A wooden frame king-size bed with a waterbed mattress

A waterbed, unlike memory foam or springs, is filled with water, as the name suggests. King size bed designs in wood with waterbeds aren't the most popular type of mattress. But they have several advantages, including relieving sore muscles. The water's temperature can be adjusted to achieve the desired therapeutic effect and provide relief for aching joints. 

2. Bookcase-style king-size bed frame 

Designing a bookcase bed is ideal for anyone who enjoys reading before going to sleep. The headboards of these beds feature built-in bookshelves, making it easy to find the books you've been looking for. 

3. A Murphy King Size Bed

Murphy beds, also known as pull-down beds or wall beds, are ideal for maximising their living space while still having enough room to sleep. For a Murphy bed to fold up and be stored against the wall, it has a hinge on one end. You can maximise your living space by purchasing a bed with built-in shelving on the side. Studios and small apartments are ideal.  

4. King Size Bed with a Four-Poster Posture 

Posts rising from each corner of a four-poster bed are well-known characteristics of the style. Adding this type of bed to a large bedroom is a popular choice. If you're looking for something that's both rustic and regal, these posts are for you. 

5. A low-poster bed.

A low poster bed is constructed with posts that extend upward from each of the four corners of the bed, much like a four-poster bed. The posts' height is what sets this bed apart from the rest. Posters on this poster bed style are much shorter, only reaching a size of a few inches. 

6. A King Size bed with a pencil post

King size bed designs in wood can be further elevated with the addition of a statement designer element. For example, this poster bed has four posts at each corner, like the other poster beds above. On the other hand, the posts were significantly thinner and were extremely popular in the 18th century. 

7. A half-poster King Size bed

The half-poster bed is the final poster bed in the family. The poster size sets this type of poster bed apart from the rest. A low poster bed has posters at its foot that are even shorter, while a regular-sized poster bed has more giant signs at its apex. 

8. A Round King Size Bed 

The shape of a round bed is a circle. This bed's dimensions are comparable to a standard square king-sized mattress. In a TV room, theatre room, or near large windows, this bed type is ideal for lounging. 

9. The King's Private Lounge, Divan 

The divan bed base is made up of a wooden frame encased in fabric, making it unique. Extra storage can be found in the form of a headboard and drawers in the base. It also comes with a mattress meant to work with the core for your convenience. For those who want to buy a mattress and a bed in one, this bed is ideal. 

10. Ottoman King Size Bed

The mattress of an ottoman bed can be raised to reveal additional storage space by means of gas-lifting hydraulics built beneath the bed. This type of bed is ideal for those who want to declutter their home and add extra storage without compromising comfort. 

11. King Size Beds with traditional canopies

Posters rise from the corners of a traditional canopy bed, just like they do on poster beds. The poster connects to form a frame around the bed, making this a unique design. The posters of a traditional canopy bed are usually made of wood and are very thick. When draped with fabric, this creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. 

12. Modern Canopy King Size Beds

A canopy bed with a modern twist is known as a contemporary canopy bed. It comes in various colours and materials to suit your taste. The design of this bed is versatile enough to fit in most bedrooms and even the tiniest of spaces. 

13. Half Tester King Size Bed

Although they look like poster beds, half testers have a lower footboard and only have posters extending from the headboard's four corners. This bed type was popular in the late 1700s and can still be found in older homes. 

14. King Size Bed with Panels

Rails run the length of a panel bed, from the footboard to the headboard. This type of bed supports a mattress foundation and a mattress. Your mattress and framework will last longer if the base of your bed is made of wooden panels. 

15. Enignum King Size Bed

The extraordinary quality of this bed can be attributed to the design that is featured on the bed's head. To create an intimate and enchanting design, thin pieces of wood are arched over the bed, and a silk curtain is typically hung over the arches themselves. 

16. A King Size magnetic floating bed

We've included a magnetic-floating bed on our list of unusual bed designs. Permanent magnetic materials are used to construct this type of bed, raised above the ground through two opposing magnets. This is a more upscale model of bed, so expect to pay a premium for it.

Thanks to a built-in audio system in the sonic bed's speakers, you can listen to music while you sleep. At three feet high, the bed resembles a large wooden tank. There are built-in speakers in the wooden walls surrounding the mattress, making it feel like you're in an enclosed space. If you enjoy listening to podcasts or classical music while you sleep, this bed may be just the thing for you. 

18. Luxurious Upholstered King Size Bed

Brogues, silks, and faux leather are all common materials for the frames of upholstered beds. These beds use padding underneath their upholstery to create a softer and more comfortable headboard. It's ideal for those who prefer to work or read in bed. 

19. The Illuminated King Size bed 

Any bed with a light-up headboard is referred to as a lighted bed. These beds are ideal for those who enjoy reading in bed or prefer a dimmer lighting environment while snoozing. 

20. The Open-Frame Bed
