After having this bed for well over a month. I’ve discovered that it is cut exactly the size of a king mattress. Therefore, putting sheets on and even removing them is a two man job! Is this how the manufacturer cut costsAlthough I love the look of this bed, I do not recommend it at all. I put this bed together by myself and that was easier then changing the sheets! This bed needs to be at least 2 inches bigger all the way around.
