About
A king bed provides a broad sleeping surface designed to comfortably fit two adults with plenty of personal space.
A king bed is roughly 16 inches (41 cm) wider than a queen bed, making it one of the largest standard furniture pieces in a home. A California king variant is narrower but adds about 4 inches (10 cm) of extra legroom for taller sleepers. Total height and weight can shift noticeably depending on the mattress design, box spring, and decorative bed frame.
From Wikipedia
Standard bed sizes are based on mattress dimensions, which vary from country to country. Bed sizes may also vary depending on the design and ornamentation of the bed frame.
