Imagine this… its Sunday morning, your laying in bed, slowly waking up and you get woken by a knee in the back. Bugger!!
Your laying on the edge of the bed and the other culprit (kids, partner or even both!) are laying across the bed. YOU ARE OVER IT! Is it time to upgrade from your trusted Queen to the ever mighty King mattress?
If you, like most couples out there, share a queen bed have you considered it may be time to upgrade? For a comparison of a Queen and King mattress then read on!
What is the size difference?
We all know that a king size mattress is bigger then a queen, but how much bigger is it?- Queen mattress measures 153cm wide x 203cm long
- King mattress measures 183cm wide x 203cm long
As you can see both King and Queen mattresses are the same length, 203cm, however they have a 30cm width difference with the King being the larger of the two.
