Why this pair matters King is one of the most misleading international mattress names: US, UK and Australian records have materially different widths.
The figures above are calculated from the identified dimensional records, not from rounded display conversions.
Compatibility decision US King is widest of the three selected conventions; UK King is the narrowest.
Rigid frames, enclosed bases, fitted sheets and protectors should be selected from finished product measurements and depth—not from the closest name.
