Which is bigger, king or queen?

King. It is the widest standard bed sold in India. Queen is the next size down, and double (48 inches wide) is below that. People searching “queen vs king” are usually asking whether the extra width is worth the extra floor; the answer depends on the room.

Buy a king if

• The room is 12 × 12 feet or more, or 11 × 12 with the bed against a wall.
• Two adults share it and one of you moves in your sleep. 36 inches each is the width of a single bed; 30 inches is not.
• A small child joins you at night.
• You want bedside tables on both sides and still a path to the wardrobe.

Buy a queen if

• The room is 10 × 10 to 10 × 12 feet.
• The bedroom door, a wardrobe door or a window is on one of the long sides of the bed.
• You are buying a mattress at the same time and the budget is tight: queen mattresses, sheets and the bed itself all cost less.
• It is a guest room.

The room decides it

Draw the room on paper at one square per foot. Put the bed in: 5.5 × 7 for a queen, 6.5 × 7 for a king, headboard against the wall. You need two feet of walking space on each open side and in front of any wardrobe or door. If the king leaves less than that, it is the wrong bed, however good the price. The room-fit calculator on every product page does this drawing for you.
