Buying a too-small mattress is one of the biggest mistakes new bed-buyers make
A king size mattress, at 165cm wide and 203cm long gives extra space and comfort. It is the same length as a queen size mattress but with an extra 15cm of width.
They are a must for adjustable beds so couples can choose the split king size mattress option so each side can tilt independently of the other.
They are also a great choice for parents so children can join them in bed without it being uncomfortable, or for pet owners who have their animals at the end of their bed.
A king size mattress is a luxurious choice for people wanting a stylish master bedroom but whose wardrobes and doors don't allow the space necessary for a super king size mattress.
It's worth noting that sizes for double mattresses, queen size mattresses, king size mattresses and super king size mattresses vary between countries, so if you have imported your bed from overseas or brought it with you when you immigrated to New Zealand it pays to check specific measurements before buying a new mattress to fit.
King size beds are a great choice for main bedrooms and guest rooms.
