Today there are so many bed sizes to choose from, but when did there become so much choice?

In the UK we have a choice of four bed sizes. They start with the single bed, which then goes up to a double bed. The king size bed is next and the largest available is a super king bed. All of these sizes can be found on bedstar.co.uk/.

However in the US they have more bed sizes, resulting in their king size being slightly larger than the UK’s. This is due to their queen size that is slightly smaller than our king size.

So how did the King size come about? Some believe that the reason a larger bed is called a ‘king’ size bed is because kings would have had larger beds in the past. It was seen as a luxury to have a larger than a one-person bed in your home. The same would apply to the American’s Queen size bed, something for royalty, but not as important as a King therefore not as large.

Nowadays a King size bed is common for a couple to have as it provides plenty of room for each individual. At Bedstar there are plenty of different King size beds on offer.
