A California king sized mattress may seem like the ultimate goal for when you finally have the space for an enormous bed in your bedroom, but what if I told you there was an even bigger—and objectively better—mattress option for you to add to your ultimate bedroom wish list?

That's where the Alaskan king bed comes in. It's much larger than a regular sized king and California king bed, and will definitely make you feel like you're living in the lap of luxury. But is it really right for you? Here are all of your questions about the Alaskan king bed, answered.

How big is an Alaskan king bed?

An Alaskan king bed is nine feet by nine feet—aka, um, it's pretty freaking enormous. We're guessing that it'll be able to sleep four adults comfortably, and possibly even five adults at a time (if you don't mind sharing). A regular king sized bed is usually around six feet by six feet, and even that can take up a ton of space in your room.

How much does an Alaskan king bed cost?

These mattresses aren't exactly sold in your local mattress store. You'll definitely need to get your Alaskan-sized bed custom made (and all of the bedding, too), and those prices could end up being quite high—like thousands and thousands of dollars high.

Should I get an Alaskan king bed?

It really all depends if you have the space and the funds and the patience to get the mattress and bedding specially made. If you do, then why not? Tbh, I don't think anyone has ever said, "I wish my mattress were smaller."
