Alaskan King Bed: The Ultimate Oversized Mattress

When it comes to sleep, bigger can definitely be better. If you’ve ever wished your bed had more room for sprawling, stretching, or even sharing with kids and pets, the Alaskan King bed might be exactly what you’re looking for. Known as the largest standard mattress size available in North America, it’s a true showstopper for spacious bedrooms.

At Candace & Basil, we specialize in from-scratch craftsmanship of upholstered beds — which means we can build a custom Alaskan King bed frame in the style of your choice.

What is an Alaskan King Bed?

An Alaskan King mattress typically measures 108 inches by 108 inches (that’s 9 feet by 9 feet!). For comparison:

• Standard King: 76” x 80”

• California King: 72” x 84”

• Alaskan King: 108” x 108”

That’s nearly double the width of a California King — perfect if you never want to feel cramped again.

Who is the Alaskan King Bed For?

The Alaskan King is designed for people who want the ultimate sleeping experience:

• Families who co-sleep with kids or pets.

• Tall sleepers who need extra length (9 feet leaves room to spare).

• Luxury homeowners with large master suites where a smaller bed would feel out of scale.

• Anyone who simply values comfort and space above all else.

It’s not just a bed — it’s a lifestyle choice.

The Challenges of Finding an Alaskan King

Because it’s an oversized specialty size, the Alaskan King comes with a few challenges:

• Limited availability — most furniture stores don’t carry frames or mattresses this big.

• Custom bedding required — standard sheets and duvets won’t fit.

• Delivery and installation — moving a 9x9 mattress requires expertise.

That’s why many people searching for an Alaskan King give up — unless they find a company like ours that builds everything in-house, made to order.

Is an Alaskan King Bed Right for You?

Before investing in an Alaskan King, consider:

• Do you have a large bedroom (at least 16x16 ft recommended)?

• Do you want space to share comfortably with family or pets?

• Do you want a bed that’s as much a statement piece as it is a place to sleep?

If the answer is yes, an Alaskan King could be the perfect addition to your home.
