Why King Size Is the New Standard of Luxury

A little extra space can change everything.
When it comes to a peaceful night’s sleep, comfort isn’t a luxury—it’s a must. That’s where the king size mattress comes in. It’s not just bigger—it’s better for your body, your sleep, and your lifestyle.

In the UK, more people are choosing king size because it simply feels right. You get room to stretch, space to breathe, and comfort that supports every inch of you. Whether you sleep alone or share the bed, a king size mattress helps you sleep deeper—without feeling cramped or disturbed.

At Famaya, we believe sleep should feel like a treat every night. Our king size mattresses are designed to give you that hotel-style comfort at home. With premium materials, handcrafted details, and expert support, every mattress is built for long-lasting luxury and real rest.

Ready to sleep like royalty? Discover why king size is more than just a mattress—it’s a lifestyle upgrade.

What Is a King Size Mattress? (UK Standard)

A king size mattress in the UK measures 150cm wide by 200cm long, which is 5 feet wide and 6 feet 6 inches long. That extra width makes all the difference—giving you more room to spread out, roll over freely, and enjoy an undisturbed night’s sleep.

Ideal Room Size for a King Mattress

To make the most of your king size bed, your bedroom should be at least 10 feet by 12 feet (around 3m x 3.6m). This gives you enough space to move around comfortably and allows your furniture to breathe. A king mattress in a tight space can feel overwhelming, so consider proportions carefully—especially if you have wardrobes, drawers, or a dressing table nearby.

King vs Super King vs Queen – What’s the Difference?

While a queen (often called a “double” in the UK) works for smaller rooms, king size is ideal for couples who value space and comfort. The super king offers even more room—perfect for those who share with kids or pets, or just love luxury.

At Famaya, we specialise in king and super king sizes, offering handcrafted designs that fit modern British homes. Whether you're upgrading your space or investing in better sleep, our expert guidance and luxury craftsmanship are here to help.

Benefits of Choosing a King Size Mattress

Investing in a king size mattress is about more than just extra space—it’s about transforming the way you sleep. Whether you’re upgrading your bedroom or seeking better rest, a king size offers comfort, support, and style that’s hard to match.

1. Enhanced Sleep Quality

With a wider sleeping surface, there’s less tossing, turning, and disturbance through the night. You and your partner can move freely without bumping into each other, helping you fall asleep faster—and stay asleep longer.

2. Ideal for Couples and Taller Individuals

Sharing a standard double can feel cramped, especially if one of you is tall or tends to move around at night. A king size mattress gives each person their own space—reducing disruptions and making sleep more peaceful for both.

 3. Better Posture & Pressure Relief

Famaya’s king size mattresses are crafted with high-quality support layers that follow the natural curves of your body. This means better spinal alignment, reduced pressure on joints, and fewer aches in the morning—especially for side and back sleepers.

4. A Touch of Luxury for Master Bedrooms

A king mattress adds instant elegance to any main bedroom. It fills the space beautifully, creates a focal point, and gives the room that hotel-style feel. Pair it with a statement bed frame and plush bedding, and your bedroom becomes a true retreat.

How to Choose the Right King Mattress for You

Selecting the perfect king size mattress is essential for your quality of sleep and overall comfort. With so many options available, here’s a guide to help you make the right choice based on your individual needs.

1. Sleeping Position Guide: Side, Back, or Front

Your sleeping position plays a big role in the type of mattress you need. Here’s what to consider:

• Side Sleepers: Look for a mattress that offers soft to medium firmness. Memory foam or hybrid mattresses are excellent for contouring to your body, relieving pressure on your hips and shoulders.
  
  

• Back Sleepers: You’ll benefit from a medium to firm mattress that supports the natural curve of your spine. Hybrid, pocket sprung, or orthopaedic mattresses offer the right amount of support for this position.
  
  

• Front Sleepers: A medium firm to firm mattress is ideal, providing even support across the body and keeping the spine in a neutral position. Orthopaedic or pocket sprung mattresses work best here.
  
  

2. Firmness Scale and Recommendations

Mattress firmness is subjective, but here's a general guide:

• Soft: Great for light sleepers or side sleepers who want pressure relief.
  
  

• Medium: The most popular choice, ideal for combination sleepers (side, back, front) who need balanced support and comfort.
  
  

• Firm: Perfect for back or front sleepers who need spinal alignment and support. Ideal for people with back pain or those who prefer a firmer feel.
  
  

Use the firmness scale (1–10) to choose your ideal level. Soft (1-3), Medium (4-6), Firm (7-10).

3. Partner Disturbance and Edge Support

If you share your bed with a partner, consider a mattress that reduces motion transfer. Pocket sprung mattresses are perfect for this, as their individual springs minimise movement disturbance. Additionally, edge support is crucial for those who sit or sleep near the edge of the mattress. A mattress with strong edge support prevents sagging and makes getting in and out of bed easier.

4. Allergies and Material Preferences

If you have allergies, choose a mattress made with natural, hypoallergenic materials. Memory foam or latex mattresses often come with built-in hypoallergenic properties. Additionally, natural fillings like wool or organic cotton can help keep dust mites and allergens at bay, giving you a cleaner and healthier sleep environment.

5. Room Measurement Checklist

Before you settle on a mattress, make sure your bedroom can comfortably accommodate a king size bed. Here’s a simple room measurement checklist:

• Room Size: Ensure your room is at least 10ft x 12ft (3m x 3.6m) for a king size mattress.
  
  

• Clearance: Allow 2–3 feet of space around the bed for easy movement and accessibility.
  
  

• Furniture Placement: Consider where other furniture will be placed and make sure the bed doesn’t crowd the room.

Caring for Your King Mattress

Investing in a king size mattress is a step toward better sleep, but it’s important to care for it properly to ensure it lasts for years. Here are some essential tips to maintain your mattress in top condition.

1. Rotation Tips

To prolong the life of your mattress, it's important to rotate it regularly. This helps to ensure even wear and prevents sagging in specific areas.

• How Often: Rotate your mattress every 3–6 months. If it’s double-sided, flip it as well, but most modern mattresses are one-sided.
  
  

• How to Rotate: Lift the mattress and rotate it 180 degrees, so the head end becomes the foot end. This helps distribute pressure more evenly.
  
  

2. Mattress Protectors

A mattress protector is a simple yet effective way to protect your investment. It acts as a barrier against spills, stains, dust mites, and allergens, helping to maintain a clean and healthy sleeping environment.

• Benefits: Protects the mattress fabric, ensures the warranty stays intact, and keeps your bed hygienic.
  
  

• Choosing the Right Protector: Opt for a breathable, waterproof protector to prevent moisture from damaging the mattress while allowing air circulation.
  
  

3. Cleaning and Maintenance Tips

Keeping your mattress clean doesn’t need to be difficult. Here’s how you can maintain a fresh and hygienic mattress:

• Vacuuming: Regularly vacuum your mattress to remove dust, dirt, and allergens. Use the upholstery attachment to gently clean the surface.
  
  

• Spot Cleaning: For spills or stains, use a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the mattress, as excessive moisture can damage the material.
  
  

• Air it Out: Allow your mattress to air out occasionally, especially if it's been wrapped in plastic for delivery. This helps release any trapped moisture and keep it fresh.
  
  

4. Mattress Lifespan and Replacement Signs

A quality mattress can last between 8–10 years, depending on the material and care. However, it's important to know when it’s time to replace it.

• Visible Wear: If your mattress has visible sagging, lumps, or permanent indentations, it’s a sign that it may no longer provide adequate support.
  
  

• Discomfort: If you wake up with aches and pains, or if your sleep quality has significantly declined, your mattress may need to be replaced.
  
  

• Allergy Symptoms: Increased allergies or asthma symptoms can indicate the mattress is harbouring dust mites or other allergens that a deep clean can’t fix.

FAQs

Is a king size mattress worth it?

Yes, a king size mattress is definitely worth the investment. It offers ample space, enhances comfort, and promotes better sleep quality, especially for couples or individuals who enjoy more room. A larger mattress can transform your sleep experience by providing better support and reducing sleep disturbances.

Will a king mattress fit upstairs?

Most king size mattresses can fit upstairs, but it depends on your staircase size. We recommend measuring your staircase width and any doorways before purchase. If access is limited, opt for a flat-packed or rolled mattress, which can be more manageable.

What is the weight limit for a king mattress?

The weight limit of a king mattress varies depending on the material and construction. Generally, a well-made mattress can support up to 250kg (about 39 stone). However, for more specific information, it’s always best to refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines.

Do king mattresses come rolled or flat-packed?

Many king size mattresses come rolled or vacuum-packed for easier delivery. However, high-end models, especially those with natural fillings or handcrafted materials, may be delivered flat-packed. It’s essential to check the product details before purchasing.

How long does a king mattress last?

A king size mattress typically lasts between 8-10 years, depending on the quality, material, and care. Regular rotation and using a mattress protector can help extend its lifespan.

What is the best mattress firmness for back pain?

For back pain, a medium-firm to firm mattress is often recommended. It offers the right balance of support for spinal alignment, helping to reduce pressure on the back. Hybrid or memory foam mattresses are great options for this purpose.

Yes, we offer a range of matching king beds with storage options. From under-bed drawers to lift-up storage, these beds provide extra space, perfect for those looking to maximise storage while maintaining a sleek bedroom design.

Which type of mattress is best for back pain?

Orthopaedic or memory foam mattresses are often the best choice. They offer firm, targeted support and contour to your body to relieve pressure points—helping ease back pain and promote healthy alignment.
