What Are the Dimensions of a Double, Queen, and King Bed?

Choosing the right bed size has a direct impact on the amount of space available in your bedroom.

• Double bed: 54 x 75 inches
• Queen bed: 60 x 80 inches
• King bed: 76 x 80 inches

For comfortable movement around the bed, allow approximately 24 to 36 inches of clearance on each side. This space makes it easier to access nightstands, closets, wardrobes, and other bedroom furniture.

If you choose a bed frame with storage, allow an additional 20 to 30 inches of clearance in front of the drawers so they can open fully. This is especially important in bedrooms where space is limited.

Bed size should also be matched to the size of the room:

• Double bed: bedroom measuring at least 9 x 9 feet (81 sq. ft.)
• Queen bed: bedroom measuring at least 10 x 10 feet (100 sq. ft.)
• King bed: bedroom measuring at least 12 x 12 feet (144 sq. ft.)

These room sizes generally provide enough clearance around the bed for comfortable movement throughout the space.

When Is It Worth Upgrading from a Queen Bed to a King Bed?

A king bed provides 16 inches of additional width compared to a queen bed. In practical terms, that represents approximately 27% more sleeping space.

Before choosing a king bed, make sure your bedroom measures at least 12 x 12 feet, or approximately 144 sq. ft. This amount of space generally provides comfortable clearance around the bed and easy access to other furniture. In a smaller bedroom, a queen bed often provides a better balance between comfort and available floor space.

Before delivery, measure doorways, stairwells, and the narrowest hallways leading to the room. Most beds offered by E67 are delivered in multiple boxes and require assembly in your home, making installation easier even in condos, apartments, and homes with limited access.
