size of kingsize bed

[DONNA1458]

Are kingsize beds just wider or are they also longer than a double. TIA

[merejeans]

they are usually 6ft.6ins long, as against 6ft. 3ins.

A kingsize bed is 5ft wide ...a double is 4ft 6in ...

go for a superking, 6ft wide by 6ft6 long...fabulous!

I don't think our king size is any longer than our old double. I haven't noticed. Must go and measure!

Woofgang, does 6'6" give more room for the woofhounds? ;o)

[ummmm]

I don't think ours is either...

We've just picked up my bed from storage as it's so comfy....looking it now though...it looks like a single compared to the one we're sleeping in.

Ours is a Kingsize, 5' wide. However someone recently gave us a new mattress and it's several inches longer than the base, although the same width.

This might appear twice. I have just measured the mattress and it is 6'6". Strange - I hadn't noticed and Mr LL and I are both tall people.

If this doesn't post I will give up!!!
