King Beds

A king size bed changes how a bedroom feels: more space to stretch out, a more balanced look in larger rooms, and a true centrepiece for your sleep setup. The Brick has to offer king beds and king bed frames in a range of styles—from clean-lined platform designs to warm wood finishes and cozy upholstered options—so it’s easy to match your décor and your budget.

King bed size in Canada

A standard king bed size (mattress) is 76 inches wide by 80 inches long, which is about 193 cm by 203 cm. If you’re asking “how wide is a king bed,” the key number is 76 inches (193 cm), and that extra width is exactly what makes king size beds feel so spacious for two sleepers.

A California king bed is 72 inches wide by 84 inches long (about 183 cm by 213 cm), so it’s narrower but longer than a standard king. If height is a priority, California king can be a smart pick; if shared space is the priority, standard king gives more shoulder room.

Choose your king bed frame

Picking the right king bed frame is about comfort, support, and the look you want when you walk into the room. The Brick has to offer king bed frames that suit modern, traditional, and rustic bedrooms, including options that pair easily with a king headboard for a finished, pulled-together look.

King platform bed frames

A king platform bed (or platform bed frame king) supports your mattress with a built-in base, often slats, creating a streamlined profile that works well in contemporary spaces. Many platform styles are designed so you can skip a box spring, which also helps keep the bed height lower and cleaner-looking.

Upholstered king beds

An upholstered king bed adds softness and comfort, especially if you like sitting up in bed with a book or morning coffee. Upholstered king bed frames can also make a large king size bed feel more inviting, balancing the bigger footprint with texture and warmth.

Wooden and solid wood king frames

A wooden bed frame king style brings natural character through grain and tone, and it pairs well with everything from crisp white bedding to bold, moody colours. If you want a sturdier, heirloom-inspired feel, look for solid wood king bed frame options that emphasize durability and timeless design.

King bed frames with storage

A king bed with storage is one of the easiest ways to add function without adding extra furniture. King storage bed designs usually place drawers in the base (great for spare sheets, duvet inserts, and seasonal clothing) so you can keep the room looking calm and uncluttered.

If you’re shopping a king bed frame with storage, think about how you’ll use it day-to-day:

  • Drawer access: Side drawers need clearance from nightstands and walls.
  • What you’ll store: Bulky items like comforters fit best in deeper drawers.
  • Bedroom flow: Storage beds can reduce the need for an extra dresser in tighter layouts.

Fit, setup, and finishing touches

Before choosing a king size bed frame, measure your room and map out walking paths so the bed doesn’t crowd doors, closets, or dressers. It also helps to measure stairwells and tight turns for delivery, since king beds and frames can come in large boxes. The Brick provides shipping and delivery information to help plan your setup.

If you want a coordinated look, consider pairing your bed with matching pieces like nightstands or a full king bedroom set for a cohesive style from headboard to dresser.
