kungstorlek

Kungstorlek is a Swedish term that translates to "king's size." It most commonly refers to mattress and bedding dimensions, indicating a size larger than a standard double bed but smaller than a super king. While exact measurements can vary slightly by manufacturer, a typical kungstorlek mattress in Sweden is approximately 180 cm wide and 200 cm long. This provides a generous sleeping area for couples or individuals who prefer more space.

Beyond mattresses, the term "kungstorlek" can occasionally be used in other contexts to denote a larger or more substantial version of something, though its primary association remains with bedding. For instance, one might encounter it referring to a large portion of food or a generous serving. However, these uses are less standardized and more informal. The widespread adoption of the term in the furniture and home goods industry has solidified its meaning primarily within the realm of sleep and comfort. When shopping for bedding in Sweden, specifying "kungstorlek" ensures a mattress or duvet of these larger dimensions.
