An Eastern king bed is another name for the standard king bed. It has the same measurements as a traditional king bed, which is 76 inches wide and 80 inches long. Eastern king mattresses are roomy, so they're a popular choice for couples who co-sleep and share a bed with a child or pet. Wide availability. King-size mattresses and sheets are easy to find, as the king is the largest mattress option of most mattress manufacturers.
Lots of space. A king-size bed has all the room a couple needs to stretch out during sleep. There's even enough room to share the bed with a pet or a child without the risk of any of them rolling off the mattress or feeling cramped.
Need more floor space vs a smaller mattress. Bed manufacturers recommend that master bedrooms measure at least 12 feet by 9 feet and 10 inches to fit a king bed. This minimum measure gives you approximately 30 inches around the bed to move freely. While you may be able to squeeze a king into a slightly smaller room, this will make it difficult to walk and do chores in your bedroom.
More size means more to move. Eastern king beds are bulky and large, so they're difficult to move between rooms. This extra heft also makes them harder to flip and clean.
There is no size difference at all between king-size mattresses and Eastern king mattresses. Both mattresses are 76 inches wide and 80 inches long. Lying down on an Eastern king mattress feels exactly the same as resting on a traditional king mattress. An active single sleeper will enjoy having additional space for stretching out and changing sleeping positions. This mattress is also the perfect choice for couples who want to co-sleep with a child or pet, or simply share a bed with lots of personal space.
