Bed size guide: Do you Need a King Size or a Queen Size Bed?

Are you designing your bedroom? Wondering which is better a king-size bed or a queen-size bed?

Well, you aren’t alone struggling with this dilemma since designing a bedroom is not an easy task and especially when you are just moving into your new house with little or no knowledge of the subject. So many factors have to be taken into account.

When designing a bedroom, the most important question that generally arises is which bed type to choose: king-size or queen-size. The size difference between these two types isn’t the only difference as there are other differences also that have to be considered. When you know the correct bed size, it will become easier to choose the right LevTex Home’s coastal bedspreads – a cozy collection of bedsheets to avoid messy rooms.

Overall Comparison:

The simple answer to this is both are equally comfortable and it depends on whether this new bed you are thinking of getting is just for you or are you a happy couple looking for a perfect bed. While a single person can surely go for a king-size bed too but that would just be an unnecessary investment. However, both these bed types ask for the luxury of a spacious bedroom. 

King size beds are specifically designed for couples but if you don’t have enough space and still want the perfect bed to sleep in with your partner, a queen bed can also serve the purpose for you but if you have a larger bedroom, king size bed is always a better pick considering the extra 16 inches of width they offer as compared to the queen-sized beds.

However, in the end, it all comes down to your preferences but the overall size of your bedroom still plays a massive role in deciding which will be better. As stated in the above table, the optimal size of a room dor a king size bed should be 10*14 feet and even though you can still fit in the king-size bed even if the available space is lesser than the optimal space, it will only end up making your bedroom messy with no space for free movement.
