An Alberta King bed frame holds a 96 × 96 in (244 × 244 cm) mattress, an 8 × 8 ft square, also sold as a Vermont King. It sits between the 7 ft Wyoming King and the 9 ft Alaskan King. Ours is an aluminum platform that measures 96 × 101.5 in with its headboard, stands 16.5 in high and is rated for up to 2,000 lb. It ships free to the curb in the contiguous US.

*Our calculation for this frame's overall size (headboard included), with 30 in (76 cm) of walking space on both sides and at the foot.
Three oversized beds are squares, and the Alberta King is the one in the middle: 12 in bigger each way than a Wyoming King (84 × 84 in), 12 in smaller each way than an Alaskan King (108 × 108 in). Its 64 sq ft of sleeping surface is 52% more than a King, by our calculation, or over 50% more sleep surface than a standard King
. It is designed as a bed for active sleepers and for families who co-sleep. Being square, it has no wrong way round: the mattress fits whichever way it is turned.

A King frame is built for 76 × 80 in: an Alberta King mattress would overhang it by 20 in across and 16 in at the foot. A California King frame (72 × 84 in) is 24 in too narrow and 12 in too short. The squares next door don't work either: a Wyoming King frame is 12 in short each way, and an Alaskan King frame is 12 in too big each way, which leaves the mattress sliding with a gap around it. Each square needs its own frame. Because the same 96 × 96 in mattress also goes by Vermont King, buy by the inches, not the name: our Alberta King mattress is made for this exact frame.
The frame is a platform, so no box spring goes underneath. Its reinforced slats prevent sagging, and the wooden slats support most innerspring Alberta King-size mattresses
. For a memory foam mattress, a solid surface is needed so it cannot sink between the slats. Our Alberta King firm foam mattress is foam: ask us for the board with the frame, and we confirm its price by email before production. With 12.5 in of clearance underneath, there is room for flat storage boxes.
Free shipping from the USA: we email your delivery date within 1 business day. The frame is handmade in Ohio and arrives in 5 to 7 boxes by UPS Ground or freight truck, free to the curb anywhere in the contiguous US. Pick one of five frame colors: Gray, Charcoal, White, Black or Light Bronze. The upholstered headboard comes with it; after you order, we email you to confirm the fabric (Light Gray, Graphite, Ivory, Dune or Navy). In-home delivery and white-glove assembly are available on quote. The 2-year warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, and we handle the claim for you.
The same aluminum platform, 16.5 in high, comes in all three squares, so the choice is about your room. By our calculation, with 30 in of walking space on each side and at the foot, the Wyoming King bed frame needs a 12 × 10 ft room, the Alberta King frame 13 × 11 ft and the Alaskan King bed frame 14 × 12 ft. If your headboard wall is between 13 and 14 ft, the Alberta King is the biggest square that fits. If you need width for a family more than length, the Florida King frame is 108 in wide at King length. Every size side by side: bed size chart.
