What You Should Know About King Size Platform Beds March 3, 2008

How in the world is anyone supposed to know the difference between all the platform beds on the market today? Even the sales person in your local department store bed department might not really have all the facts. It can be very confusing!
Take King size bed as an example. With two sizes of King beds and four names, it can get confusing when you go shopping for a King size bed.
A Standard King is also called an Eastern King and a California King is also called a Western King. A Standard King is about 4″ wider and a California King is 4″ longer.
Two people sleeping in a King size bed will get the same amount of personal sleeping space as in a Twin bed. In fact, if you pushed two Extra-Long Twin beds together they’d be about the same size as an Eastern King. For great versatility in a guest room, if you have the floor space, use 2 extra long twin beds separately for singles or push them together to make a king bed for couples.
When buying sheets, you have to be careful to purchase the right size. Flat sheets will fit both sizes of King beds, but fitted sheets are cut to fit one or the other.
Before you go shopping for sheets, be sure to measure your bed exactly to be sure to buy the linens that will fit exactly.
