Bed Size Calculator: Which Bed Fits Your Room?
Enter your room size. The calculator checks every Kenyan bed size, 3 by 6 to 6 by 6, against a 60 cm walkway and tells you which fit comfortably, which are tight and which won't fit.
How it works
Each bed needs its mattress size plus 60 cm at the foot and on each open side (one side for one person against a wall, both sides for two people). "Comfortable" means at least 75 cm. Feet are converted at 30.48 cm. Bed frames add 5 to 15 cm, so leave extra if your frame is wide.
| Bed size | Mattress | Smallest room, bed against a wall | Smallest room, walkway both sides |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 by 6 (single) | 91 × 183 cm | 151 × 243 cm (4 ft 11 in × 8 ft) | 211 × 243 cm (6 ft 11 in × 8 ft) |
| 3.5 by 6 (three-quarter) | 107 × 183 cm | 167 × 243 cm (5 ft 6 in × 8 ft) | 227 × 243 cm (7 ft 5 in × 8 ft) |
| 4 by 6 (double) | 122 × 183 cm | 182 × 243 cm (6 ft × 8 ft) | 242 × 243 cm (7 ft 11 in × 8 ft) |
| 5 by 6 (queen) | 152 × 183 cm | 212 × 243 cm (6 ft 11 in × 8 ft) | 272 × 243 cm (8 ft 11 in × 8 ft) |
| 6 by 6 (king) | 183 × 183 cm | 243 × 243 cm (8 ft × 8 ft) | 303 × 243 cm (9 ft 11 in × 8 ft) |
Method: mattress size plus a 60 cm walkway at the foot and on each open side. For a comfortable room, use 75 cm instead. Bed frames and headboards add 5 to 15 cm, so measure your frame too.
