Every once in a while, you have to say goodbye to something because it no longer serves your needs. This can happen to your bed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you start waking up tired, sometimes more tired than you were when you went to bed, you know it might be time to change. Other times, it\u2019s simply a matter of size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, does size matter where beds<\/a> are a concern?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, there isn\u2019t a black or white answer. It all depends on your preferences and needs. But, to make your decision a little easy, let\u2019s consider different bed sizes and what they could mean for your bedroom, yourself, your partner, and your comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which Bed Size Should You Consider And Why?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, let\u2019s use the chart below to get a glimpse of the sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bed size<\/strong><\/td>Dimensions in inches<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
King size<\/td>72 by 80<\/td><\/tr>
California<\/td>16 by 84<\/td><\/tr>
Queen size<\/td>60 by 80<\/td><\/tr>
Twin XL size<\/td>38 by 80<\/td><\/tr>
Twin size<\/td>38 by 75<\/td><\/tr>
Split size<\/td>76 by 80<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To guide us in this process, we have to consider a few things. For instance, will you be sleeping alone or with a partner? Do you have pets or little kids who may want to hop in bed with you every once in a while (sometimes daily)? If you are in a relationship but live alone, how often do you have your partner over for sleepovers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not forgetting that most people also buy a new mattress when they change their bed, this may be a factor to consider. Finally, are you a heavy or light sleeper, and how will the bed size affect your bedroom space?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously, you don’t want to fill your room with a bed and have no space for anything else. Remember, the more squeezed your bedroom is, the less relaxing it will be, and ultimately it might interfere with your sleep quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

King Size Bed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Granted, this is one of the largest bed sizes on the market. The king size measures around 72 by 80 inches which is large enough to accommodate two people.<\/strong> In fact, with a king-size bed, you should have enough space without interfering with your partner\u2019s sleep. Everyone sleeps on their side, which means no motion interruption, hence better sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously, your bedroom space must match this size<\/a> if you are to have this bed comfortably. According to interior designers, anyone with a bedroom measuring at least 12 feet by 10 feet can comfortably have this dreamy bed while leaving enough space for other things. If your room is smaller than this, you may have to consider the other bed options mentioned here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, this rule is not cast in stone, so you can play around with your bedroom space and still fit a king-size bed. However, be mindful of other things in the bedroom as you plan. So, in terms of size, what do you get when you buy this bed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
