9×12 recommended
Why: bed 76×80 in + 16 in each side (nightstands off) + 24 in past the foot → need about 108×101 in → nearest standard size is 9×12 (108×144 in).

Tip: bedrooms are gentle on rugs, so choose softness underfoot.
Tape check · 15 min before ordering
- Tape a 9×12 rectangle (108×144 in): 16 in each side of the bed, 24 in past the foot.
- Walk around it. Open the door fully. The rug must not catch.
- Sit on each side of the bed. Both feet should land on rug.
- Live with the tape 24 hours, then order.

Budget options
- Best: 9×12 covers sides and foot fully (nightstands off.).
- Better: 8×10, which works when only the front legs sit on it and the walkway is tight.
- Good: two runners (2×7 ft each side), the cheapest soft landing.
King bed rug size rules
- Anchor: 9×12 grounds the king bed + foot bench in masters.
- Border: 16+ in sides, 24 in past foot; 30 in walkway to closet/bath.
- When torn between sizes, go bigger, unless the room won't allow it. Then we recommend a size that fits.
- Pad: 1 in shorter per side (9×12 rug → 8′10″×11′10″ pad).
Guides
King bed rug size FAQs
What size rug for a king bed?
9×12 is the standard under a king (76×80), leaving 16–18 inches of rug per side. 8×10 works as a tight-budget fit. 10×14 grounds the whole wall in large rooms.
Full nightstands on the rug or off?
Both work: run the rug under all the nightstands (usually 9×12 minimum), or keep nightstands off it in smaller rooms. The calculator above handles both.
How do I avoid the expensive mistake?
When torn between sizes, go bigger, but never at the cost of a walkway or door swing. Tape the 9×12 outline, open every door, check 24–30 in of walkway, then order.
What size rug for a king bed in a small room?
When a king is tight against two walls, 9×12 will not fit, and that is fine. A 6×9 or 8×10 under the lower two-thirds still grounds the bed and leaves walking room; the calculator above checks the walkway and door before recommending one.
How big is a 9×12 rug in cm?
A 9×12 rug is 274 × 366 cm (108 × 144 inches, 108 sq ft). Its pad should be 1 inch shorter on every side, about 8′10″ × 11′10″. The calculator above prints the exact pad size with each answer.
