When it comes to finding the perfect bed, size matters. For those who want more width than a California King without going as massive as an Alaskan King, the Texas King bed strikes the ideal balance. At Candace & Basil, we specialize in from-scratch, in-house craftsmanship of upholstered bed frames — and we can also source the right Texas King mattress and bedding to complete your setup.

What is a Texas King Bed?
A Texas King mattress typically measures 80 inches wide by 98 inches long. Here’s how it stacks up against other sizes:
-
Standard King: 76” x 80”
-
California King: 72” x 84”
-
Texas King: 80” x 98”
That means the Texas King offers:
-
Extra width compared to California King and standard King.
-
More length than a King, making it comfortable for taller sleepers.
-
A perfect in-between option for those who don’t want the extreme size of a Wyoming or Alaskan King.
Who is the Texas King Bed For?
The Texas King is designed for people who value spacious comfort:
-
Couples who want more width to stretch out comfortably.
-
Tall individuals who need more length than a standard or California King.
-
Families and pet owners who share their bed and want everyone to fit.
-
Homeowners with larger master suites who want a bed that feels proportionate.
The Challenges of Buying a Texas King Bed
Because it’s a specialty oversized size, the Texas King isn’t something you’ll usually find at a big-box retailer. Challenges often include:
-
Limited availability of frames — most stores don’t stock Texas King frames.
-
Finding a mattress — traditional mattress brands rarely carry this size.
-
Custom bedding required — standard sheets and duvets won’t fit.
That’s where Candace & Basil comes in.
