What Is a King Size Bed?
A king size bed is 5 feet wide and 6 feet 6 inches long. That is 150 centimetres wide and 200 centimetres long, which gives two adults plenty of room to sleep without touching each other. If you have ever woken up because your partner moved in the night, a king size bed can fix that problem. At Kensley Home, our divan beds and ottoman beds include king size beds in many colours and fabrics, with free delivery and pay on delivery across the UK. See the full range at https://kensleyhome.com.
Many shoppers type kingsize bed into a search box, and some type king bed. All three phrases mean the same bed. A king sized bed is the same size again, and a king size bed with frame means the bed comes with a frame instead of a divan base. When you buy a king size set bed, you get the base, the mattress and the headboard together as one set, which is often the easiest way to buy everything at once.
Is a king bed big enough for two adults, a child and a dog? For most families, yes. A standard king bed in the UK measures 5 feet by 6 feet 6 inches, and that is the size we sell at Kensley Home. A European king bed is a little wider at 160 centimetres, so check the size before you order if you are buying bedding from Europe.
Kingsize beds are popular because they suit most bedrooms. King beds come as divan beds, ottoman beds and framed beds, so you can pick the style that suits your room. We deliver every king size bed UK wide, free of charge, and you can pay on delivery. Every kingsize bed UK wide is delivered free. For beds, UK king size is the most searched size, and it suits most couples.
How Much Bigger Is a King Bed?
How much bigger is a king bed than a double bed? A double bed is 4 feet 6 inches wide, so a king size bed gives you 6 inches of extra width. That sounds small, but it means 3 inches more space on each side, which makes a real difference through the night.
Some shoppers search for a king size double bed, which really means a bed wider than a double. A king size bed is the next step up from a double, and it is the size most couples choose when they want more room. If you are moving up from a double bed, measure your room first. A king size bed needs space to walk around it, and a king size bedroom should leave about 60 centimetres of space on each side so you can walk around the bed and open the drawers.
A small king bed is a phrase some shoppers use when they want a king size bed in a smaller room. There is no smaller standard king size, so the answer is to measure carefully and pick a low frame or a divan base with no extra bulk. A single stacking beds search is different again: single stacking beds are beds that stack on top of each other for hostels and dormitories, and they are not the same as a king size bed for a home bedroom.
King Size Divan Beds and Storage
A divan bed is a bed with a fabric-covered base, and the base often has drawers built into it. Divan beds from Kensley Home start from £130, and a king size divan bed gives you the same 5 feet of width with storage built in. Drawers are useful for bedding, clothes and shoes, and they keep the room tidy without a separate chest of drawers.

If you are looking for a bed frame for king size bed use, the frame is different from a divan base because the frame shows the legs and the shape of the bed. A kingsize bed frame with storage gives you the look of a frame and the storage of a divan, because the base lifts up or has drawers. A king size cream bed with storage is a good example: the cream fabric looks soft and calm, and the storage underneath hides the bedding.
King Size Ottoman Beds and Gas Lift Storage
An ottoman bed is a bed where the whole mattress base lifts up to show a large storage space underneath. The lift is helped by a gas lift, which means pistons filled with gas that take the weight of the mattress so you can lift it with one hand. Ottoman beds from Kensley Home start from £180, with our headline ottoman beds from £250.
A king size gas lift bed is the best choice when you want the most storage in a king size. A gas lift king bed lifts from the foot end, so you can reach the whole storage space without pulling out drawers.

King Size Bed Frames: Wood, Fabric, Velvet and Upholstered
A king size wooden bed frame suits a warm bedroom, and a wood king size bed frame is the same idea in plainer words. A kingsize wooden bed looks solid and natural, and a kingsize wooden bed frame adds a headboard and footboard to match. If you like dark timber, a dark wood king size bed frame gives the room a strong and classic look.
A king size bedframe is one word for the same thing, and a king sized bedframe is the same again. A king-size bed frame, written with a hyphen, is also the same bed. A low king size bed frame sits close to the floor, which suits a modern room and makes it easy to get in and out of bed.
A king size fabric bed frame is covered in fabric. A fabric king size bed is the same style, and a fabric king bed is the same style in shorter words. An upholstered king bed is also covered in fabric, and a king size upholstered bed is the same thing again. Upholstered means the frame is padded and covered in fabric or leather, which feels soft if you sit against it. A king size velvet bed frame is an upholstered frame covered in velvet, which looks rich and feels soft to touch.

A king size bed frame clearance line is a frame we sell at a lower price to clear stock, and an affordable king size bed frame is one that gives you good build quality without a high price. Inexpensive king bed frames are not the same as weak frames: check that the frame is strong, the slats are solid, and the joints are tight.

Colours: White, Beige, Cream, Grey, Black, Blue and Navy
A white king size bed suits a bright room, and a white kingsize bed is the same bed in the same colour. A beige king bed suits a calm room, and a beige king size bed suits a calm room too. Beige king size beds are popular because beige goes with almost any wall colour. A cream kingsize bed is a softer white, and cream king size beds suit a warm bedroom. A cream king bed suits a warm bedroom too. A cream king size bed frame adds a matching headboard, and a beige king size bed frame does the same in beige.
A grey king size bed frame suits a modern room, and grey king size beds are easy to match with grey or white bedding. A king size grey bed is the same bed again, and a king size beige bed is the same idea in beige. A king size bed, beige in colour, looks calm and soft. A king size bed, cream in colour, looks warm and bright. A king size bed, blue in colour, suits a bold room, and a king bed, blue in colour, is the same bed. A black king bed suits a strong modern look, and a navy king size bed suits a deep and calm room. A neutral king size bed, in a plain grey or beige, suits a room that you redecorate often.
A bed, king size white in colour, is the most popular choice for a bright bedroom. Black beds, king size and double, suit a dark modern room.

King Size Mattresses: Firm, Pocket Sprung and More
A mattress is the soft part you sleep on, and it sits on top of the base or frame. Mattresses from Kensley Home start from £170. A king size bed, firm in feel, suits people who like a hard sleeping surface. Firm means the mattress does not sink much when you lie on it.
A pocket sprung mattress is a mattress where each spring sits in its own fabric pocket, so each spring moves on its own. This means the mattress supports your body where you need it and does not roll you towards your partner. A king size mattress for a king size bed should measure 5 feet by 6 feet 6 inches, so check the size before you order.

How to Choose Your King Size Bed
Measure your room before you order. A king size bed is 5 feet wide, so you need a room that leaves space to walk around it. Measure the door and the stairs too, because a king size bed frame and a divan base are large and need room to move through the house. Choose the bed, kingsize or super king, that fits your room.
Pick the storage you need. A divan bed with drawers suits a room with space at the sides. An ottoman bed suits a room with no space at the sides, because the base lifts up instead of opening out. Pick the colour that suits your room, and pick a firm or soft mattress to match how you sleep.
Buy king bed and mattress together as a set and you only pay for one delivery, with free delivery and pay on delivery on every order.
