King Size Mattress - Sleep Like Royalty

King Mattress

A king mattress is a spacious mattress that gives you lots of room to move around during the night so that you are more comfortable, and many people prefer the king size mattress, especially if they have a sleeping partner. Let's look at how you can make a good decision when shopping.

Different Kinds

Not all of them are the same. A standard is seventy-six inches wide by eighty inches long while a California king is seventy-two inches wide and eighty-four inches long. This means that if you are taller than six feet that your feet may hang off of standard size mattresses, including a stand king. The California king may help take care of that problem, although you will be losing four inches of width in exchange. A standard king is the best choice for most people. You should determine prior to purchasing your mattress if you actually have room for it, however. Leave enough room between the wall and the mattress so that you are not crowded and can easily make the bed up.

Quality of Choices

When it comes to purchasing a mattress, always choose the highest quality that you can afford. Economy mattresses may seem to be a good deal at the time, but they tend to wear out more quickly - which will just necessitate you replacing the mattress sooner than later. Poor quality mattresses may not provide as much support to your back and neck as other options - which can lead to health problems and unnecessary pain. Is it really worth saving a few dollars to give up a good night's sleep for years to come? Your back doesn't think so.

Types

There are different types of mattresses in a king size that you might choose. Pocketed coil system mattresses are great for equally distributing your weight and the weight of your sleeping partner and will distribute the weight of your body away from certain points. A continuous coil system is great for couples who do not want to wake the other when getting out of bed. Memory foam mattresses eliminate pressure on the body and also eliminate the transfer of motion - but these are typically very expensive choices - and some people complain that they sink too far into the mattress or that the memory foam mattress causes them to sweat excessively at night.
