When it comes to choosing a bed for your room, a bit of planning goes into the whole process. You want something that firstly fits in your room without dominating it, and second is always comfort. Your bed should ensure that you enjoy a good night’s sleep without any difficulty. To give you the gist of it, a king-size bed is as big as two twin beds together. Now that you have a fair idea, let’s continue to see how big a room should be for a king-size bed.
Recommended Sizes
Each bed you buy comes with its own recommended size in order to avoid crowding your room. According to home designers, it is suggested that you at least have a 30-inch space around your bed once you place it in your room. This ensures you have ample room to move around without too much effort. Therefore, the room size for a king should be a minimum of 13’ by 13’. The complete list is given below;
- Twin – 7’ by 10’
- Twin XL – 7’ by 10’
- Queen – 10’ by 14’
- California King – 14’ by 12’
Now that you know the minimum requirements, it gets easier to bring home the bed of your choice.

4-Drawer Dresser
To organize a 4 drawer dresser in your room shouldn’t be all that difficult. It gives you a storage place and placing a mirror above the dresser turns it into your own little vanity. In fact, you can give your room an element of vintage by choosing a rustic looking yet elegant mirror to go above your dresser. Make sure you place your dresser in one corner of the room so that you have space to move around.
Mattress
Having a quality mattress means you get to enjoy a good night’s sleep. Therefore, choose something that suits your needs. For instance, a latex mattress helps keep any allergies away and is entirely eco-friendly, while a pillow mattress can offer you some extra comfort. What is meant by pillow top mattress? Well, it is a bed with extra padding on the top to help provide relief from hip or shoulder strain.
Side-Tables
A side table is useful as it helps store everything you need to make your night time comfortable, including a night lamp. If you have the necessary space, you can opt for a side-table on either side; otherwise, put it on merely one side of the cot.
A Desk And A Chair
Finally, if the space permits, you can bring home a nice pair of desk and a chair to have your own workstation that inspires you to work and is tucked in one corner of the room. However, this is optional.
So, now you know which bed to bring home and how to make your space more exciting!
