King Size Bed Width?

[joseph123]

Anyone know the exact widths of the king size beds onboard? Many cruise ships promote their beds as being king size but they are actually queen size based on US standards. Was looking for the bed widths in inches on the Explora website to no avail.

Can’t tell you the dimensions but they’re huge and certainly felt like our King size at home - it’s not a snug fit

Thanks. I did a bit more research and found the actual Explora bed width is 70.86”.

In comparison, US standard mattress widths are:

Twin- 38”

Queen- 60”

California King- 72”

King- 76”

So for anyone who may be interested, the mattress width on Explora is closer to a California King per US standards. I believe European standards are a bit smaller.

According to Explora website the King mattress is 71" x 79". Consistent with Josephs measurements.🍸
