At our showrooms we often meet people who love their standard king but wish there were just a little more room – enough space to stretch out fully or share bedtime stories with the children without anyone clinging to the edge. The Texas King and its bigger sibling, the Dallas King, answer that wish.
They aren’t mass‑produced novelties; when we build them they become heirloom pieces, hand‑finished, precisely engineered and designed to carry you through decades of restorative sleep. This guide explains how big a Texas King really is, what makes ours unique and why investing in one might be the most luxurious thing you do for yourself.
How Big Is a Texas King Bed?
The Texas King is an impressive blend of width and length. It measures 80 inches wide and 98 inches long, adding eighteen inches of length to a standard king without sacrificing much width. That extra span makes it one of the largest rectangular mattresses you can buy and offers tall sleepers the legroom they often miss on a standard or California king. At roughly seven feet long, it easily accommodates those over six and a half feet tall and still leaves room for a partner or even a couple of small children.
Because of its generous dimension a Texas King can comfortably fit three or four adults, making it ideal for families who co‑sleep or love Sunday morning lounging with pets.
Understanding where a Texas King sits relative to other oversized beds helps clarify its appeal. A Wyoming King, for example, offers an 84 × 84 inch square, so it is wider but lacks the length that tall individuals crave. On the other end of the spectrum, the Alaskan King spreads out to 108 × 108 inches, transforming the entire bedroom into a bed but requiring a room at least 16 × 16 feet to look proportionate.
By comparison, the Texas King is long enough to prevent feet from dangling and wide enough to provide space between partners yet still fits in many master suites; interior designers recommend a 12 × 14 foot room to allow for clearance around the bed.
For those who crave something even larger, we also create the Dallas King—our nine‑foot‑square masterpiece crafted in collaboration with Vispring, but for many households the Texas King offers the perfect balance of space and practicality.
What Makes Our Texas King Unique?
We start with the finest natural fibers: horsetail hair for resilient support and natural ventilation, layers of wool, cashmere, silk and alpaca for softness and warmth, flax for its springy resiliency and static control, and long‑staple cotton for breathable durability.
These materials are laid out in precise order and sewn and tufted entirely by hand by trained European craftsmen. We don’t offer a menu of “firm” or “soft” models; instead, our artisans build the exact combination of springs, fillings and tensions that your body requires.
This bespoke approach is time‑consuming—teams spend hundreds of hours on a single bed—but it produces mattresses that deliver comfort for twenty‑five years or more.
Personalisation goes far beyond comfort levels. We routinely craft mattresses in sizes and shapes the rest of the industry doesn’t offer: Wyoming Kings, Texas Kings, Alberta Kings, Olympic queens and family beds are all possible. If you need an extra‑long mattress for a tall client, an extra‑wide bed for co‑sleeping or a circular mattress for a yacht, our artisans can build it.
We also tailor the aesthetics: clients select fabrics for headboards and divans, choose leg designs and can even provide their own textiles. Every mattress is paired with a handcrafted foundation or box spring so that the pocket springs work in harmon. Like the mattress, the base is wrapped in natural fibers and finished in your choice of fabric.
And because our beds are made chemical‑free, you won’t be sleeping on synthetic foams or chemical flame retardants. Natural materials regulate temperature and moisture, keeping you cool in summer and cosy in winter.
Sustainability is central to our craft. By using biodegradable materials and building beds to last, we ensure that nothing about your mattress is disposable. When the fibers need refreshing, we offer complimentary flipping and fluffing services to redistribute the fillings and extend the life of your mattress.
For those seeking the ultimate statement piece, our Dallas King demonstrates the extremes of bespoke design. Measuring nine feet square, it comfortably sleeps a whole family. Yet it still feels airy and buoyant thanks to the same natural materials and hand‑nested springs. This is luxury on a scale that truly lives up to our Texas heritage.
Why Choose a Texas King?
For taller individuals, a Texas King provides a length that eliminates the nightly need to curl up at the edge of the mattress. Couples who prefer personal space can enjoy the added length without feeling crowded. Families and pet owners can invite children and furry companions into bed without sacrificing comfort—remember that guides note it can accommodate three or four adults.
Beyond physical dimensions, many of our clients invest in a Texas King because of what it represents: a commitment to wellness. Our founder often reminds clients that the quality of your sleep time determines the quality of your awake time. By choosing a bed built for your body from natural materials, you create a foundation for restorative sleep.
Our Sleep Curators—specialists trained in biology, physics and physiology—use your body type, sleeping style and health needs to guide you toward the right combination of springs and fillings. This tailored approach means fewer pressure points, better circulation and less tossing and turning. Over time, clients report waking with more energy, clearer thinking and improved moods.
There are aesthetic reasons as well. A Texas King anchors a room with its presence but never overwhelms; the extended length creates a pleasing proportion. Dressed in fine linens and crowned with a custom headboard, it transforms the bedroom into a sanctuary, a space devoted purely to rest.
Pair the mattress with accessories like a bespoke topper or our pillow collection and the effect is not only visual but tactile: you sink into layers of natural fiber that cradle and support without trapping heat.
Many clients tell us that stepping into their Texas King at the end of the day feels like entering a private retreat, separate from the demands of work and family—a luxury that is increasingly rare in today’s multitasking homes.
Where to Buy Your Texas King
Oversized mattresses like the Texas King and Dallas King are custom‑order pieces; they aren’t lined up in big‑box stores.
The best way to understand them is to experience them. In our Chicago, Dallas and Naples showrooms, we invite you to test the range of comfort levels and explore different sizes with a Sleep Curator by your side. Together we discuss your sleep history, body type and design preferences, then help you choose springs, fillings and fabrics.
Once your order is placed, our artisans in Europe build your mattress to specification, matching it with a base and headboard if desired. We arrange white‑glove delivery to any location and remain available for flipping and maintenance services throughout the life of the bed. Because each mattress is made to order, your Texas King or Dallas King will be unique to you—never mass‑produced, never off the rack.
The Essence of Grandeur
Choosing a Texas King is not merely about buying a large mattress; it is about elevating your relationship with sleep. The combination of generous dimensions, natural materials, hand craftsmanship and personalized design makes these beds as much works of art as places to rest. Whether you choose the balanced proportions of our Texas King or the grand scale of our nine‑foot Dallas King, you are investing in more than furniture—you’re investing in nightly restoration and daytime vitality.
With the guidance of our Sleep Curators, the skill of our artisans and the integrity of our materials, we ensure that your bed will offer not just size, but a level of comfort and longevity that only true luxury can provide.
