A welcoming guest bedroom includes a comfortable bed. Whether you need to convert a guest bedroom with two beds into a room with one larger bed or you desire a different mattress firmness, it is simple to create a king-size bed from two smaller twin beds. A king mattress already sits on top of two twin box springs inside of a bed frame.Two twin mattresses and box springs will fit easily into the same bed frame to create a larger bed. Standard Bed Sizes A standard twin bed is 39 inches wide and 75 inches long; a standard king bed is 76 inches wide and 80 inches long. Attaching two twin beds will give you a king size bed 2 inches wider than the standard size king and 5 inches shorter. It is not ideal, but it will give you a larger bed that two adults can share reasonably well. Versatility Twin beds are often less expensive than king mattresses. Purchasing two twins and converting them can be more affordable for some people. Other couples find it helpful to have separate mattresses with different levels of firmness;
pushing two twins together will give them the king bed they prefer and the restful night's sleep they need. Converter Belts There are two ways to convert twin beds into king beds. Both methods will require a twin-to-king converter belt, available at most home goods stores. Most metal bed frames are adjustable to fit a range of bed sizes. If yours expands to a king, set up the bed by expanding the frame to fit the two box springs with the two mattresses. Close the gap between the mattresses using the converter belt and a king-size mattress pad. If your frame won't expand or you need flexibility and want to be able to use either two twins or one king, simply push the two twin bed frames together when a king is needed. Hold the mattresses together with the converter belt. Sheets and Bedding Since your new king does not meet standard sizes, buying bedding for it takes a little creativity. Instead of purchasing sheet sets with a fitted sheet and flat sheet, look for sheets sold separately and buy two flat sheets.
One flat sheet will tuck into the mattress easily and act as a fitted sheet. If it is a little short, you can buy clips that will hold the sheet in place at the corners, creating a fitted sheet. King-size blankets, comforters and duvet covers will work. They may be a little long and tad narrow.

The two pieces together made up the bed. Now there are other alternatives of foundations for one to place their mattress upon. Depending on the type of mattress, preference of sleeping and type of décor one prefers, the once necessary boxspring may no longer be considered one’s best and only option. Exactly how it sounds, the boxspring is an actual box filled with springs designed as a mate for its mattress to sit on top of. The original design of the boxspring is a wooden box crafted to contain coiled springs that are tied down and covered with cloth to act as a supportive spring bed for the mattress.
Spring coil mattresses are designed in coordination with their matching boxsprings so it is typically advised to not mix a spring mattress with a boxspring that was not made to be mated with it. The boxspring and mattress are usually placed on a bed frame. As a companion to the mattress the boxspring serves three purposes. An important issue to remember when considering the boxspring is that it arrives as a solid piece of furniture the size of the mattress, although King beds often have two split boxsprings. Unlike the mattress it cannot bend at all. This is important to understand when moving a boxspring up a flight of stairs or around tight corners. If purchasing a box spring make sure to measure and verify that you will be able to get it into the bedroom. For those choosing a mattress, other than a coil spring there is no need for a boxspring at all. Even those who still have a spring mattress can opt for a different type of foundation. Although the old box of springs type foundation is no longer the only choice, one will want to still use a foundation for their mattress in order to lift it off the floor and away from dust and allergens and make it a decent height to effortlessly get in to and out of bed.
A foundation can be crafted from a solid wood platform or using a frame with wood slats. With no need to have a box to hold springs for a mattress, there are multiple foundation choices for you to use for a mattress. A boxspring is a foundation although not every foundation is a boxspring. The foundations crafted with spring coils are the only authentic boxsprings. Only spring mattresses will have a need for an actual boxspring, while foundations of choice can be used for just about any type of mattress. Along with choosing the mattress that is the best option for your needs you will also want to put into consideration what your needs and wants are for its foundation.“We ended up buying a Tuft & Needle mattress for way less than retail and it was delivered within an hour of our visit.” “Being a sceptic, I didn't hold any of that back when I met Pete and purchased a latex mattress with organic cover.” “In the end I got a great mattress, box spring and bed frame delivered to me the same day.”
