As I save up to buy a new bed, I'm considering the pros and cons of Queen vs King mattresses. A King would make more of a statement in my master bedroom and afford ample space for starfishing, but a Queen might be the more realistic choice in light of my size and budget constraints.
There's a big jump between a Queen and a King bed: we're talking 16 additional inches in width. That's good news for couples who like their own space, as well as solo sleepers who toss and turn. In order to buy a King bed, though, you'll need to find 16 additional inches in floor space, as well as another couple of hundred dollars.
