Really Sleep Like a King in a King-Sized Bed

We all know the tale of “The Princess and the Pea,” but what about the story you are yet to live for yourself in reality: “The Well-Rested King in a King-Sized Bed?”

We personally prefer the sound of the latter title because we are huge advocates of you and your rest– and these two can be combined seamlessly with the assistance of a king-sized bed!

So, if you have ever wondered if you should finally upgrade to a king-sized bed from your full or queen, you have come to the right place. King-sized beds are the epitome of bedroom luxury, providing you and even your bedroom with impressive benefits (and for years to come!).

From snuggling under an oversized king bedspread to adding a stunning piece of furniture to your favorite room, you’ll have everything you’ve ever wanted for your sleep (and you should take your sleep seriously as we are asleep for ⅓ of our lives!).

How Big Is a King-Sized Bed?

A king-sized bed is quite large, as you likely are already aware. A standard king-sized bed is 76” x 80”. Because a king-sized bed is indeed of a larger size, you should ensure that your bedroom will fit it before purchase! It’s been recommended that your bedroom should at least be 12 feet by 9 feet 10 inches to fit your king bed perfectly.

So, have you deduced that you have the “room” for it? Perfect! Now let’s closely investigate just seven benefits of making the switch to a king (a bed fit for a king indeed!).

1. Enjoy More Plush Pillows and Blankets

Who in their right mind doesn’t enjoy surrounding themselves with plush and cozy pillows, blankets, and comforters? Precisely– nobody! When you make the switch to a king bed, you will be able to constantly “cocoon” yourself in these comfy cozy items far more than you already do!

When you pair your new bed up with an oversized king bedspread like the ones we offer here at Legacy Decor, you can swim in luxurious bedding every day! Be careful, though: you may never want to get up!

2. More Room When Sleeping with a Partner

If you share your bed with a partner, we know that you love them and enjoy sleeping beside them. But, how often have you been woken up by their tossing and turning or them simply being against you and you feeling scrunched up?

We’d wager quite a few times– or far more than that. When you have a king-sized bed, however, these occurrences will be far and few between. That’s because you and your partner have the option to cuddle up and sleep at a comfortable distance whenever you want to! As is in life, being close with your partner and having time separate from them is healthy when sleeping!

3. Add an Impressive Focal Point to Your Bedroom

Your bedroom should not only feel exceptionally comfortable but it should also look exceptional, too! That’s why interior design is so important in every room of your home, including your bedroom.

When you integrate a king-sized bed into this living space, you are drastically improving its overall aesthetics and design. It instantly becomes the focal point of the bedroom, adding an unequivocal charm and at-home feeling to the overall space.

You can also improve its appearance by decorating it with throw pillows, an oversized king bedspread, a bed runner, and more! You can really make the most out of your larger-sized bed by making it work for you not only while you sleep but when simply admiring it from afar (and wishing to get back in it!).

4. Feel Even More At Home in Your Bedroom

Because you will be amplifying the aesthetic of your bedroom, you will have another added advantage alongside that: an increased feeling of comfort! You’ll likely feel even more at home in your own home and, really, who doesn’t want optimal comfort all the time in their favorite place on Earth?

5. Improved Quality Sleep

One of our favorite benefits of switching to the king bed is the improved quality of sleep. It has been found through various studies that people who sleep in a king bed in comparison to smaller beds sleep better. King beds also lead to improved sleep for not just the average person but also those who have insomnia, soreness, joint pain, and overall restlessness.

And, if you sleep beside a partner, you both can improve your quality of sleep as well with a king. A typical sleeper tosses and turns around 60 to 70 times each and every night. By keeping a bit more distance between the two of you, you can improve your sleep.

6. Better Suited for Families

Do you have a child or children who love to crawl into bed with you and fall asleep? Then you know full well how crammed you can feel in your bed when they do so in your queen or even full. With a king, however, this won’t be the case.

A king-sized bed is an optimal-sized bed for families! Your kids can snuggle up to you (and your partner) and you can all enjoy great sleep comfortably together (even if they try to steal the covers or kick their little legs in their sleep!).

7. Better Suited for Pet Owners, Too!

Do you have a furry friend that loves to cuddle up with you in bed instead of their very own dog or cat bed? Then a king-sized bed would be perfect for you as well.

We all know that dogs and even cats think that they are much larger than they actually are (and big dogs think they are much smaller than they really are!), so they take up a whole lot of space in your bed! Reduce that issue drastically by simply supplying yourself and your fur-iend with ample sleeping space and comfort in a king-sized bed!

Now that you are undoubtedly sold on the idea that you should finally invest in a king-sized bed, you need the perfect accessories for it, too.
