King Mattress Dimensions are 76" x 80" King size mattress dimensions are 76" x 80". King beds are growing in popularity. King mattress dimensions are about 16" wider than a Queen bed. Both are about 80" long. The Eastern King size mattress is the only bed to give each person the same width as a Twin bed. In fact you can push 2 Extra-Long Twin beds together to be the same size as an Eastern King mattress. This is a good way to have a versatile guest room (use 2 twins separately or push together to make a king bed for couples). An Eastern King bed comes with one mattress and two half-width box springs to be more manageable when moving. Approx. width per person: 38" Pros: This is the widest standard bed available. Roomy enough for 2 large adults. The 80" length comfortably accommodates most people. Bed sheets are easy to find and are generally labeled simply "King". Cons: This is a very large mattress that may not fit easily up stairs or into smaller rooms. (Check bendability on king size mattresses.)
Taller people may prefer the California King instead with its longer length. All bedding is most expensive in king sizes, and 3 standard pillows or 2 king pillows are needed for this width. This bed changed the way we sleep. It’s supportive for both of us but also just cozy. You sink in just the right amount. And it’s quiet—we don’t disrupt each other if we move or get up. We love our Cocoon. It’s been perfect for us. It was crazy getting the Cocoon, especially because as you unpack it, you quickly realize it’s such a substantial and high-quality mattress. We were a little blown away. Getting married to (my husband) Dan, and moving into a new place, it’s been really fun to bring our things together. Our bedroom has a little bit of both of us. Every piece in the bedroom has a story. And there’s nothing like a cozy bed to get into at the end of the day. Videographer and TV/Web Creator For me, it’s really important to have a choice because it can be very hard to find the right mattress.
I chose ‘firm’ because I think it’s better for my back and allows me to stay still at night. When I first got it, it just felt well made. I guess when you’re making something for over 100 years, you figure out how to make it right. I’m very much a minimalist, so when it comes to the place that I lay my head, I like to keep it as simple as possible. The bed and a sleep schedule are the most important things for me. But the art, photos, paintings that I keep around are reminders of how important it is to constantly be creating. Interior Designer, Crowell + Co. Interiors I’m a very aesthetic person, so when we got our Cocoon I immediately noticed the clean lines and beautiful design. I love the stitching. It’s the first time in my life I’ve thought ‘oh my God, this mattress is beautiful .’ But it’s also just amazingly comfortable. I LOVE our bed. My life is so busy and scheduled—I’m running around all day long. My bed is my favorite place on the planet because it’s the one place where I can be peaceful and calm.
Nothing makes me happier than curling up in my bed and reading a book. But it’s also where we spend lazy Sundays when we have a family ‘cuddle puddle’—in pajamas all day, watching movies and just being together. That’s my favorite thing! Matt & Carrie Eddmenson Founders of imogene + willie Our first impression was 'how can something of this quality come in a box?' But they've mastered it. They’ve figured it out. Getting the bed was just as momentous as sleeping on it. You open it up, and it’s almost shocking. It’s top of the line. Anyone can put a mattress in a box. But Sealy knows how to make a mattress, whether it comes to you in a box or not. We loved our old mattress, and we consider ourselves “mattress connoisseurs.” I’m telling you, Cocoon is a really, really good bed. Matt coined our bed the “clubhouse of comfort.” We spend a lot of time in our bedroom—I think more time than most It’s age old…your bedroom is your room. It’s a safe place, a place to be yourself.
For us, it’s a hodgepodge collective of all the things we’re in love with.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.
