The Beauty Of A King Size Mattress

By: Ella Morgan


Shopping for a mattress can get a little confusing with all of the different sizes available. Aside from standard twin, twin long, double, full and queen beds, there are two types of king size mattress and they have four different names! So what is the difference between the Eastern King and the California King size mattress?

When it comes to a good night's rest, you cannot compromise on your bedding. The king size mattress is just right for a couple. If you are sharing the bed with a partner, then plenty of space can ensure a good nights sleep. The mattress should be selected on the height and width of the couple.

Barring a custom mattress, the Eastern King size mattress, also known as Standard King, is the widest mattress available on the market at 76 inches wide. This is the mattress of choice for large adults or couples that want a lot of room for spreading out into their own personal space. It is 18 inches wider than a queen bed and allows each person 38 inches of room -- about the same amount of room as pushing two twin beds together would provide. The Eastern King size mattress comes with twin box springs that fit side-by-side for easy transportation. The width of this bed will require triple standard pillows or two extra large pillows. The only potential drawback of the Eastern King size mattress is that it is the same length as a queen bed, which may be too short for taller adults.

The California King, or Western King, is the longest bed on the market. At 84 inches long, it is a full 4 inches longer than the Eastern King and a good choice for people six foot tall or more. Like it's wider cousin, it comes with two half-width or twin box springs. The only drawback of this mattress is that it is 4-inches narrower in width than the Eastern King.

You must make a wise selection for the UT most comfort. Measure and buy the mattress after you have analyzed how much space you and your partner require. A good index will be the height and breath.

It does not matter if you sleep on your own or with someone else you can have a great nights sleep on a king. You will be able to enjoy all of the space and comfort that is available to you and let me tell you, this can greatly improve any night's sleep. Imagine how great it would be to finally be able to spread out at night and not feel so cramped all of the time.
