King Size Mattress

A king size mattress is the largest standard mattress size in India, measuring 72 inches wide and 78 inches long - about 6 x 6.5 feet. That extra width (a full foot more than a queen) gives two adults room to sleep without touching, with space to spare for a child or pet who climbs in. At Wakefit, king size mattresses come in orthopedic memory foam, dual-comfort memory foam, latex, grid and foam-spring hybrid, across a range of firmness levels and thicknesses. Every one is backed by a 100-night trial, up to a 10-year warranty, free delivery and No-Cost EMI, with prices starting from ₹6,569.

What is a king size mattress?

A king size mattress is the widest of the standard Indian mattress sizes, built for a king bed frame. It is 72 inches wide - a full 12 inches wider than a queen (60 inches) - and 78 inches long. In practice a king comfortably sleeps two adults with generous personal space, which is why it is the size most families choose when children or pets share the bed. It suits master bedrooms of roughly 12 x 12 feet or larger, where there is room to walk around both sides of the bed.

One common mix-up worth clearing up: the Indian king (72 x 78 in) is slightly narrower than the American king (76 x 80 in). Always match your mattress to your Indian-made bed frame rather than a US size chart, or you will end up with a mattress that doesn't fit.

What are the dimensions of a king size mattress?

Wakefit's standard king is a single, generous size, with custom dimensions available if your frame is unusual:

• Width: 72 inches (6 feet)

• Length: 78 inches (6.5 feet) - the standard king

• Sleeps: two adults very comfortably, with room for a child or pet

Here is how the king compares with the other Wakefit sizes, so you can be sure it is the right pick:

• Single - 36 in wide - one person, kids or guest rooms

• Double - 48 in wide - one adult with space, or a compact-room couple

• Queen - 60 in wide - couples (the most popular size)

• King - 72 in wide - couples with space, or families

If your bed frame is a non-standard size, Wakefit also makes custom-size mattresses. Not sure which size fits your room? Our mattress size guide walks through every size in inches and feet.

King vs queen - which should you pick?

Both are couple sizes; the difference is width. A king is 72 inches wide, a queen is 60 - and both are 78 inches long. Use this to decide:

• Pick a king if two adults want maximum personal space, children or pets often share the bed, or your room is 12 x 12 ft or larger with space to walk around both sides.

• Pick a queen if two adults share comfortably but the room is tighter (around 10 x 10 ft), or you want to spend a little less - a queen costs less than the same mattress in king.

In short: a king is the comfort-and-space choice for families and co-sleepers; a queen is the practical couple's size for average-sized rooms. The king's extra 12 inches of width works out to roughly 6 more inches of personal space per person.

What firmness is best for a king size mattress?

Firmness should match how you sleep and your body weight - not the size of the bed. As a guide:

• Side sleepers and lighter bodies - soft to medium, so the mattress cushions the shoulder and hip.

• Back and stomach sleepers - medium-firm, to keep the spine in a neutral line.

• Heavier bodies or anyone with back pain - firm, high-density or orthopedic support that stops the hips sinking.

• Couples who disagree on feel - a dual-comfort king has a firm side and a soft side, so you simply flip it to change the feel.

Because a king is almost always shared, motion isolation matters as much as firmness. A high-density memory-foam or orthopedic king absorbs movement, so one partner turning over in the night doesn't wake the other.

Types of king size mattress at Wakefit

Every Wakefit king comes in more than one material, so you can match feel and support to your need:

• Orthopedic memory foam - medium-firm, zoned spinal support; the best choice for back pain and back sleepers.

• Dual-comfort memory foam - a firm side and a soft side to flip between; ideal when two people prefer different feels.

• Latex - a medium, naturally cooler and more breathable feel; good for hot sleepers who want a responsive surface.

• Grid and foam-spring hybrid - a supportive, breathable, slightly bouncy feel with good airflow across the large surface.

How to choose the right king size mattress

Run through these checks before you buy - they cover everything that decides whether a king is right for you:

• Material - memory foam for contouring comfort, orthopedic for back support, latex for cooling, grid or hybrid for bounce and airflow.

• Firmness - matched to your sleeping position and weight (see above).

• Size and room - confirm the 72-inch width suits both sleepers and that your room has space to walk around the bed.

• Motion isolation - important on a shared king; memory foam and orthopedic foams absorb a partner's movement.

• Quality - high-density foams and a long warranty (Wakefit kings carry up to 10 years) signal a mattress that will hold its shape.

• Thickness and budget - Wakefit offers the king across foam, orthopedic, latex, grid and hybrid, in multiple thicknesses, so there is a fit for every budget.
