Differences Between Modern And Contemporary Bed Frames

The biggest bed frames available that provide couples with enough room to sleep together comfortably are King Size bed frames. Similarly to Queen Size, these come in three distinct styles:

California
Standard

If you are above the average height and have difficulty finding a suitably sized bed, a California King Size may be what you need. This is 72 by 84 inches and there are mattresses made to fit this type of bed frame size, along with the comforters and sheets. A standard king size, often referred to as the eastern king and measures 76 by 80 inches. It is the most common style available and is longer and wider than a queen frame.
