Get To Know Your Beds Better
Beds are available in several sizes. King-sized double beds are much larger and more appropriate for spacious rooms whereas queen-sized beds are ideal for smaller rooms and constrained spaces. They are small enough to fit in a small room while being large enough to house two people comfortably. Additionally, they are much cheaper.
It is important to note that queen-size beds differ from king-sized beds in width but not in length.
This means that you do not need to buy a king-sized bed if you are taller; however, those who are on the heavier side may find the width of the king-sized bed more comfortable.
King-sized bed
The dimensions are width 76 inches (193 cm ) and length 80 inches (203 cm). The width per person is 38 inches (96.5 cm).
Queen-sized bed
The dimensions are 60 inches (152 cm) and length is 80 inches (203 cm) . The width per person is 30 inches (76 cm).
Queen-size beds are available in many styles. However, you should choose one keeping in mind the overall decor of your room. It is certainly not mandatory to match every piece of furniture in the room. Simply put, a sleek modern bed goes equally well with an otherwise traditional decor, provided the overall look is harmonious. Nevertheless, you would want to keep all your furniture in the same tones or shades, especially if you are opting for the wooden finish.
