Sixteen inches wider than a queen size, people notice a difference when they choose a king size mattress. Measuring 76 inches in width and 80 inches in length, this extra space provides a lot of benefits, including:
- Couples Sleeping: Allowing more space in the bed, couples notice a valuable difference when they switch to a king size mattress. More space lets people move much easier in bed and can prevent overheating from being uncomfortably close while sleeping.
- Family: Sometimes voluntary and sometimes not, families often end up with children sharing the family bed for one or more nights. A king size bed makes family sleeping less cramped, letting everyone get some quality sleep.
- Bedroom Style: Nothing makes a style statement in your bedroom like a king size bed frame acting as a beautiful focal point. Inviting and adding an air of luxury to your space, a king bed can change the look of your bedroom for the better.
- Comfort: More space allows more movement in bed. Whether you share with a partner or sleep alone, if you tend to move around in your sleep a king bed ensures you won’t find yourself cramped at the edge of your mattress.

Tips for Maintaining Your King Size Mattress
A new king size mattress is a valuable but significant investment in your sleep. Ensure your mattresses last for their expected lifespan by following some simple guidelines:
- Rotate Your Mattress: As time goes by, it is normal for your mattress to change its shape over time. To keep your mattress wearing evenly, rotate it every 6 to 12 months unless your mattress model is designed to only be positioned one way.
- Ensure You Have the Correct Support: Mattresses need support to work effectively. Some require the use of a box spring, others can use a bed frame or solid foundation underneath. To maximize the lifespan of your mattress and make sure it supports your body, use the correct foundation support for your model.
- Invest in a Mattress Protector: Mattress protectors are an inexpensive investment, but can add years to the life of your mattress. Sweat, dirt, dust mites, and bacteria can all make their way into your mattress through your sheets if it is not protected. Many mattresses are thrown away prematurely as they develop avoidable problems, smells, and stains.
- Clean Your Sheets Regularly: Not just good for your skin and overall hygiene, washing your sheets regularly can prevent oils from sweat, dust mites, and dirt from building up and affecting your mattress over time.
- Avoid Jumping on the Bed: Often kids can’t help themselves when they see a new, extra bouncy mattress to jump on, but setting some clear rules about not jumping on the bed can add years to the life of your mattress and let it support your body more effectively in the meantime.

FAQ
Here are some frequently asked questions about king size mattresses.
What is the size of a king size mattress?
A king size mattress measures 76 inches wide by 80 inches long. Measuring 16 inches wide than a queen size, the difference is very noticeable for most people, especially those who sleep as a couple.
Which is bigger king size or California king?
At 76 inches wide by 80 inches long, the king size mattress is wider, but shorter than the California king, which measures 72 inches wide by 84 inches long. A California king is recommended for taller people who can’t comfortably stretch out on a standard King size mattress.
How long should a king size mattress last?
The average lifespan for a quality king size mattress is 7 to 10 years. People often keep their mattresses for longer than this but the overall quality of sleep reduces over time as the support, springs, and shape of their mattress deteriorates. If you have a mattress over this age and do not currently get high-quality sleep, consider changing your mattress to improve your rest.
Why Trust Urner's and Urner's Mattress?
Urner’s started on the back of a bicycle - yup! A bicycle! David E. Urner, a local high school teacher, who spent his summer months selling Wear Ever cookware off the back of a bicycle (think 100+ degrees). David teamed up with another local teacher, Errol P. Janes to create “a new type of store – one that would cater exclusively to providing an easier way of living for the women of Kern County”, and on September 19, 1919, Home Appliance Store was opened to the public. The store boasted a rather impressive selection of “modern” appliances, including a washing machine, a freezer, a gas range, an automatic dishwasher, and an assortment of small appliances. Since then, Urner’s has expanded selections to appliances, furniture, mattresses and cabinetry!
For nearly one century, the Urner family and Urner’s business have both been an integral part of Bakersfield and Kern County, with contributions to the community (Better Business Bureau, Sister City Projects, Bakersfield Symphony), charity (Ronald McDonald House, St. Jude’s Dream Home, House of Hope) and education (CSU Bakersfield, Ray Dezember Leadership Development Center.
