King size bed what is it

There are few people who like to sleep in cramped quarters, but they have to put up with this situation. Cramped apartments and small bedrooms do not make it possible to establish a spacious and comfortable bed.

As housing conditions improve, finances stop singing romances and the idea of ​​buying a bed, much larger than the standard one, begins to ripen in our heads. The desire to feel like "His Majesty", to fall asleep on the back, arms outstretched, pushes us in search of a king-size bed. A product of the furniture industry, with dimensions from 180 cm in width and 200 cm in length, is awarded the title of King size.

Products of large-format furniture production were widely distributed, first in the USA, and then Europe took up this idea. In these countries, a different measurement system operates, so the American king size is different from the European one.

According to US standards, the width of the King size model starts from 180x200 cm, limited only by the individual wishes of the customer. The European king size is a bit more modest. The initial parameters are from 160 x 200 cm. The size is 180 and above, it is considered a super king.

Features of choice

Acquiring a model in excess of dimensions, we get not only a spacious king-size bed, where the whole family can comfortably sleep and sleep, but in addition to this main property, manufacturers try to cater to our aesthetic needs. To do this, they develop models that meet additional parameters:

1. A variety of product shapes. There are rectangular (classic), square (220x200), smoothly rounded and wavy (modern news).
2. Appearance. A wide range of models that fit easily into the premises of any style.
3. An extensive list of materials used in the manufacture. To increase the shelf life and aesthetic appeal of the bed, furniture makers use solid wood (beech, pine, birch and oak), chipboard and MDF, metal elements. The headboard and soft sidewalls are fitted with genuine leather, leatherette or abrasion-resistant upholstery fabrics.
4. Maintaining a balance of price and quality. Models for every taste and budget.

Advantages and disadvantages

When ordering a large bed, do not go to extremes, because, having the main advantage - a wide berth, this product also has disadvantages. Indications for the purchase of dimensional furniture can be considered if you are a large person or a married couple who loves comfort during sleep, have the opportunity to rationally place a bed.

• Suitable for tall and large people. Some models have a skeleton more resistant to weight loads and deformations, complemented by orthopedic elements.
• The possibility of free and comfortable, unlimited accommodation of two or more people. The dimensions of the King size bed - from 180 to 220 X from 200 to 220 cm, provide the owners with the opportunity to sleep soundly, without unnecessary forced contact (throwing arms and legs, sniffling in the ear) with a neighbor on the bed. In that case, if a person sleeps alone and he is of average height and physique, then he can take any position for sleeping - at least along, at least across and diagonally.

Important! The optimal length of a berth is calculated by the formula. 30 cm is added to a person’s height, and the average width is from 70-80 cm.

• Impressive look. In the spacious bedroom, a large and beautiful royal bed, with a high, carved headboard or under a canopy, will occupy a central position and will become a place of attraction for its owners.
  

The positive characteristics of the bed are obvious, but before you decide on it, you need to take into account some of its features:

1. Difficulty of movement and extensive footprint. Due to the inflated dimensions, the product becomes heavy and stationary. I chose a place, installed it and no longer plan, that is, mobility is lost.
2. Turn around and bring into the house, bedroom, through a standard doorway, can only be disassembled.
3. You may have difficulty choosing and buying the right size of bedding. The assortment of linen for a King Size bed is not as diverse as for standard products.
4. Increased financial burden. Extra width entails the purchase of a set of pillows, and each partner needs a blanket. Also, a mattress on a royal bed will cost more, because it will need to be made to order.

When choosing a bed in your home, give preference to a King size model, if the bedroom is bright and spacious, with high ceilings and large windows. In this case, the acquisition will not disappoint you, but emphasizing the individuality of the room will become a worthy continuation, it will give you serene and sweet dreams.
