King Bed Frames

About

Sharing a queen works fine, right up until it doesn't. Someone starts sleeping diagonally, the dog claims the middle, and the extra width of a king size bed turns from a nice idea into the reason you both sleep through the night. Early Settler king bed frames come in timber, fabric and metal, including four poster and canopy designs. We have been furnishing Australian bedrooms since 1985 , which is why the range covers this much ground rather than settling on a single house style. What size is a king bed frame in Australia? An Australian king size mattress is 183 cm wide by 203 cm long. A king size bed frame always measures larger than that, and upholstered and four poster designs add more to the footprint than a slimline timber panel frame does. Check the external dimensions listed on the product page rather than working from the king size mattress size alone. Length is where people get caught out. A king is exactly the same length as a queen, so every centimetre of the upgrade is width, which is also true of king bed bases . How much bigger is a king bed than a queen? A king is 30 cm wider than a queen and exactly the same length. That extra width goes to couples who share the bed with a pet or a child who wanders in at 3am, and to light sleepers who wake every time a partner rolls over. If either of those is you, go king. If neither is, queen bed frames will serve you better and leave more of the room free. Those 30 cm come out of the floor either side. Numbers on a page settle none of this, though, so lie on both in one of our 54 Australian stores and you will know within a minute. Can a king bed frame fit in a standard bedroom? A room of around 3.6 m by 3.6 m fits a king with enough clearance to walk around it and still place bedside tables either side. Allow 60 to 75 cm of walkway on both sides and at the foot. Smaller master bedrooms can still work if the bed sits against a wall and only one side needs access. Getting the frame into the room is the other half
