# King bed size

**King bed: 1500 × 2000 mm**

UK king 150 × 200 cm; US king 193 × 203 cm — 43 cm wider.

The largest discrepancy in bed naming. A US king is 43 cm wider than a UK king, and a US California king is narrower but longer than a US king at 183 × 213 cm. Bedding bought in the wrong market will not fit, and the difference is large enough to be obvious rather than marginal.
