Will the king sized bed fit or not?

Some of you commented on the post about the bed failure, getting my money back, and subsequent purchase of a new bed.

Some of you have considered purchasing a King sized bed, but had valid concerns about the size. What would it look like in the bedroom? Would it be too large for the room? Well, you can see what a king sized bed would look like at your house without actually having to make a purchase.

From a square footage application, you could take sheets of paper and tape them together to create the "plan" of a bed. You can lay the paper out and see how it would look in the room. You could purchase cardboard moving boxes to simulate a more 3-D feel.

As a reminder … 

• A king bed measures: 76" x 80"
• You should leave at least 37" - 39" between the bed and the wall
• Allow more space for walkers. Wheelchairs require a turning radius of 5 feet.

Happy space planning!
