A king mattress size in Australia has the standard dimensions of 183cm x 203cm, allowing plenty of width for both partners and even small children to sleep without disturbance. It is significantly larger than a queen or king single mattress, yet smaller than a super king mattress.

Purchasing the right king size mattress will entirely depend on your personal preferences. There is no "one right" mattress that will suit everyone, but if you're looking to buy a king mattress there are a few considerations to help you make the right choice:

• Budget
• Mattress Feel - ranging from Soft to Firm
• Comfort layers including memory foam, wool, and natural latex
• Support system including springs
• Construction with bedding such as pillow tops and tight tops

The average king mattress should cost between $800 and $1500. Chiropedic king mattresses are available online and range from $269 to $3999. As a general rule, the more expensive the king mattress, the more expensive and high quality the materials used in its construction.

It's highly unlikely that a king mattress will fit in a regular vehicle. However, if you have a larger vehicle, you can potentially shift a king mattress without too much trouble. Here are our tips:

• Use a van or ute with a tray to transport the king mattress
• Try to avoid strapping it to the roof
• Ensure that no windows are obstructed by the king mattress
