KingSize

Kingsize, also written king-size or king size, is a descriptive term used across consumer products to denote a larger-than-standard dimension. The word combines king with size to imply largeness or premium scale. Its usage spans several product categories, with regional variation in exact measurements.

In bedding and furniture, kingsize refers to the largest standard dimension in a market. In the United States, a king-size bed typically measures about 76 inches wide by 80 inches long (193 by 203 cm). In the United Kingdom and many Commonwealth countries, a king-size bed is commonly about 60 inches wide by 78 inches long (152 by 198 cm). A California king option (72 by 84 inches, 183 by 213 cm) offers a different proportion. Sheets, blankets, and duvet covers labeled king-size are intended to fit those dimensions.

In clothing and textiles, kingsize is used by some brands to designate extra-large products. There is no universal standard, so measurements vary by brand and region, with chest and waist specifications often provided instead of fixed sizes.

In packaging and confectionery, king-size versions label larger-quantity items, such as bars or bags sold as a larger single item or in bulk form.

In common usage, hyphenation and capitalization vary: king-size, king size, or kingsize may appear, and in some markets the term is treated as a brand name rather than a universal size. See also: King-size bed, Plus size, Packaging sizes.
