Are king size mattresses generally better than standard sizes? Most families I know just own a queen size mattress, as the king size seems too big.

In Europe, the average size of a king size mattress 60 inches wide and 78 inches long. Americans and Canadians consider a 76 x 80 inches mattress as king sized. Asians on the other hand find maximum comfort in a king size of about 72 X 78 inches.

King size mattresses are 18 inches longer than standard size mattresses (queen); which means there’s about 18 inches of extra sleeping space and comfort for this larger sleep set. Because it is thicker, king size mattresses are also a few notches more durable. Of course, prices are slightly higher with a king size mattress.

The best way to determine really is how much comfortable are you with a bigger bed? If you sleep alone, the extra 18 inches wouldn’t have to matter at all.
