Moving from a single bed to a double can be a considerable upgrade when it comes to comfort and sleep quality. Moving to a king size bed, can truly be a game-changer.
A king size bed is around five feet wide by six feet, six inches long. It’s bigger than a double, but not quite as large as a superking. Of course, the terminology used can vary from one manufacturer, and one country, to the next, and if you want to be sure of what you’re getting, it’s worth establishing exactly how large the bed will be. This will allow you to get the right mattress for your needs.
Let’s consider a few great reasons to make the switch.
Enhanced Comfort for Growing Teens
Teenagers can go through rapid growth spurts. The bed that was once big enough might become restrictive in a matter of months. For taller teenagers, this might be a special concern.
Teenagers might also find that they spend more time moving around at night, as their bodies and minds change. A larger surface area can allow air to circulate more easily, which, again, can help to improve sleep quality.
Ideal for Shared Spaces and Family Bonding
If you’ve ever wanted to sit on your teenager’s bed, then you might be startled to realise just how cramped it is. But a king size bed isn’t just an upgrade for those who’d like a short chat: it can also be great for siblings who’d like to settle in to watch a film in the same space. Pets can find a space to sleep at the foot of the bed, too, without causing discomfort for the person sleeping in it.
Stylish Designs to Match Teen Preferences
Every teenager is likely to have a slightly different set of preferences, which might inform their taste in beds. Fortunately, there are many different kinds of king size beds available, from chunky divan-style storage beds to classic hand-carved wooden frames and lightweight metal ones.
If you do opt for a storage bed, then you’ll enjoy another considerable advantage: a king size bed will offer more room to store things, which means less clutter elsewhere in the home.
Long-Term Investment in Quality Sleep
It’s difficult to understate the importance of quality sleep, especially for teenagers who might be going through difficult periods at school. A good night’s sleep can have a lasting impact on performance in the classroom and the workplace. When quality sleep is enjoyed consistently, the benefits can be compounded. A larger bed can make quality sleep much easier to attain; therefore, in many cases, it’s an investment in your teenager’s health and well-being.
