However, it is helpful to remember that these mattresses can only fit comfortably in a large master bedroom. Also, bigger beds are not available in most mattress stores and may be difficult to find online.<\/p>\n Below, we highlight the pros and cons of these three oversized mattresses so you can determine which is right for you.<\/p>\n Wyoming King<\/h3>\n84 inches by 84 inches<\/strong><\/p>\n A Wyoming king bed measures 84 inches by 84 inches. This square shape mattress offers each sleeper 42 inches of personal sleep space\u2014that\u2019s 4 inches more per side than a standard king size bed.<\/p>\n A Wyoming king has the same length (84 inches) as a California king mattress, which is the longest standard mattress available. However, some couples find a Cal king bed too narrow, especially if their children frequently climb into bed with them. A Wyoming king is 12 inches wider than a Cal king, so each sleeper has plenty of room to spread out without being pushed to the edge of the mattress.<\/p>\n In terms of room size, a Wyoming king fits comfortably in a standard 14 foot by 16-foot master bedroom. If your bedroom is on the narrow side, it may not accommodate the extra width of a Wyoming king.<\/p>\n Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n Average Price: <\/strong>$1500 to $3000<\/p>\n 80 inches by 98 inches<\/strong><\/p>\n A Texas king measures 80 inches by 98 inches and is the second-largest oversized mattress. Although a Texas king is narrower than a Wyoming king (by 4 inches), it is still 4 inches wider than a standard king mattress and 8 inches wider than a California king. So, in most cases, it can accommodate two adults and one to two children.<\/p>\n The most impressive feature of a Texas king is the length\u2014this mattress is 18 inches longer than a standard king and 14 inches longer than a Cal king. The extra length of a Texas king is perfect for taller individuals. For example, a person who is 6.5 feet tall (78 inches) would still have 18 to 20 inches of extra space at the foot of the bed.<\/p>\n The rectangular shape of a Texas king is more suited to a narrow bedroom. But, this mattress should fit comfortably in most 14 by 16-foot master bedrooms.<\/p>\n Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n Average Price<\/strong>: $2000 to $3500<\/p>\n 108 inches by 108 inches<\/strong><\/p>\n An Alaskan king is the largest of the oversized mattresses and measures 108 inches by 108 inches. If you co-sleep with more than two children, this mattress is ideal. An Alaskan king is so spacious that you and your whole family can spread out and sleep soundly without ever feeling cramped.<\/p>\n Like the Wyoming king, the Alaskan king is an equal square shape. But, the Alaskan king is 24 inches wider than a Wyoming king and 10 inches longer than a Texas king. These beds offer significantly more space when compared to a standard king size mattress, which measures 76 inches by 80 inches.<\/p>\n Those over 6.5 feet tall will enjoy the extra legroom that comes with an Alaskan king. Even a person who is 7 feet tall (84 inches) will have 20 to 24 inches of additional space at the foot of this bed. This feature allows very tall sleepers to rest comfortably without worrying about hanging off the end of the bed.<\/p>\n Since Alaskan kings are so big, they need a slightly larger bedroom to accommodate their size. Most master bedrooms measure 14 by 16 feet. But, we recommend opting for an Alaskan king only if your bedroom measures at least 16 by 16 feet. The additional width will provide plenty of room to move around the perimeter of the bed.<\/p>\n Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n Cons <\/strong><\/p>\n |
