A king size bed, also known as a 5ft bed, is one of the most popular choices for UK bedrooms because it balances generous sleeping space with proportions that still suit most homes. At 150cm wide x 200cm long, it gives couples room to stretch out, without dominating the space the way a super king can.
Our king size wooden beds are available in any colour, a range of sizes and are all fully customisable using our made-to-measure service.

Couples sharing a bed - At 150cm wide, a king gives each person roughly 75cm of sleeping space, which is comparable to a single bed each. It's the practical sweet spot for two adults who want comfort without needing additional room.
Taller sleepers - At 200cm long, a king size bed frame comfortably accommodates sleepers up to around 6ft 4in. If you're particularly tall, it's worth checking our made-to-measure service, as we can adjust frame length to suit.
Growing families - If weekend mornings mean children or pets finding their way into your bed, a king gives everyone a little more breathing room than a double would.
Restless sleepers - More width helps if you change position often, or simply prefer not to feel hemmed in by the edge.
Four poster beds - A solid wood king four poster bed delivers architectural presence without overwhelming the room.
Low beds - Solid wood king size bed frames built closer to the floor, creating an open, grounded aesthetic that makes standard-size bedrooms feel more spacious and considered.
Standard height beds - The classic wooden king bed frame profile, offering a comfortable sitting height and practical under-bed clearance for storage boxes and easy vacuuming.
Platform beds - Clean-lined solid wood king platform beds with rigid slatted bases, removing the need for a divan while providing a breathable, supportive foundation for any mattress type.
Storage beds - Make use of the full footprint beneath the mattress with built-in drawers on the sides, storage boxes, or a full-lift ottoman base that opens up the entire 150 x 200cm area beneath.
Attic beds - Lower‑profile king bed frames designed for loft conversions and rooms with sloped ceilings.
Floating beds - King sized bed frames with recessed support legs create a subtle hovering effect, giving bedrooms a contemporary edge.
Japanese beds - Ultra‑low wooden king size bed frames inspired by minimalist design, ideal for modern interiors.
Scandinavian beds - Clean‑lined king bed frames that combine natural timber warmth with Nordic simplicity, which is perfectly suited to light, modern UK bedrooms.
Extra thick slats - A king size frame carries load across a wider surface area than a double, which places greater demand on the central slat support. Our frames use extra-thick slats at twice the industry standard thickness, along with a central support leg, to prevent any flex or bow in the middle of the bed over time.
Joinery that stays tight - With two sleepers, king bed frames are constantly being loaded and unloaded at the joints, especially at the corners and along the side rails. Our mortise and tenon joinery keeps the frame square, stable and quieter than other designs that can loosen with movement.
100% solid wood - Solid timber brings natural mass and stiffness that helps a king bed feel sturdier, age better, and stay creak-free. It also means the frame is far more durable than veneer or engineered alternatives.
Room size - A king size bed (150 x 200cm) typically suits rooms of around 3m x 3m (10ft x 10ft) or larger. If you want bedside tables and easy access on both sides, aim closer to 3m x 3.4m where possible.
Save valuable centimetres - If your room feels almost king-ready, a space saving king bed frame can help. These reduce the external footprint by around 8-12cm while still fitting a standard 150 x 200cm mattress, often the difference between feeling tight and comfortable.
Measure for real-life obstacles - Don’t just measure wall-to-wall. Check for chimney breasts, skirting boards and radiators, which can push the bed further into the room or steal bedside-table space. Measure the usable width at the height the bed frame will actually sit.
Keep the proportions balanced - In a standard-size room, your headboard sets the visual weight of the whole layout. If you want a taller statement headboard, offset it with slimmer bedside tables and lighter tones. If the room is tight, a lower-profile headboard can instantly make the space feel less crowded, without sacrificing mattress size.

No, but it often causes confusion. A UK king size bed is 150 x 200cm, with an American king being much larger at 193 x 203cm. The closest UK size we offer to this is an eastern king bed which sits at 200 x 200cm. In fact, the UK king is closer to a US queen, which is 152 x 203cm.
Yes, for most couples a king size bed is comfortably large enough. At 150cm wide, it gives each person approximately 75cm of personal sleeping space - roughly equivalent to a single bed each. If one or both of you tends to move around a lot during the night, or if you're both particularly tall, a slightly larger king bed size might suit you better. That said, a king size is the most popular choice for UK couples precisely because it balances generous space with a more manageable room footprint.
The next standard sizes up from a King size bed are:
EU King Size: 160 cm wide x 200 cm long
Small Super King Size: 166 cm wide x 198 cm long
EU Super King Size: 180 cm wide x 200 cm long
Super King Size: 183 cm wide x 198 cm long
Eastern King Size: 200 cm wide x 200 cm long
Our solid wood king bed frames support up to 471kg (74 stone), achieved through solid timber construction, mortise and tenon joinery, and extra-thick slats that are double the industry standard thickness, significantly higher than most mass-produced alternatives.
Not necessarily; our standard king bed frames are made specifically to fit 150 x 200cm mattresses. As long as your current mattress is the right size, supportive, comfortable, and free from sagging, it will perform optimally on our solid wood bases.
For a king size bed, the 2-2-1 rule is perfect. Start by placing two large pillows in front of the headboard. Next, place two smaller pillows in front and finish by placing one more pillow in front of them. This provides a nice even look that won’t leave your bed looking too crowded.
