Description
The Charles king is a split base: two halves, each 83.5 x 203 x 39 cm, that join to make a 167 x 203 cm bed. The supplier lists two consequences of that — you can run two different mattress types side by side, and partner disturbance is reduced. It also means each half comes up the stairs on its own rather than as one 167 cm slab. Four drawers are built in, with 15 cm of under-bed clearance listed, on 12 legs. Made in New Zealand. Mattresses are not included.

Delivery & assembly
Arrives as two halves
Two cartons, each 83.5 x 203 x 39 cm. Each half is carried in separately, which is easier than moving a full-width base.
Questions before you buy
Why is the base split in two?
Each half is 83.5 cm wide instead of 167 cm, so it fits through doorways and up stairwells that a one-piece king base would not.
Can we use two separate mattresses?
Yes. The supplier lists the split base as allowing two different mattress types, one per half, and states that this reduces partner disturbance.
What mattress size does the joined base take?
An NZ standard king, 167 x 203 cm, if you use a single mattress across both halves.
How many drawers and how much clearance?
Four drawers built into the base, with 15 cm of under-bed clearance listed in the specifications.
Is a headboard included?
No. The Charles is a bed base only, so a headboard and mattresses are bought separately.
Does it need assembly?
Yes. The two halves are joined on site and the legs are fitted.
