Will a king bed fit in a 10x12 bedroom?

A king bed (76 by 80 in) fits in a 10x12 room, but it leaves under 24 in on the sides once you add nightstands, and a large dresser becomes tight. A queen is the more comfortable choice for 120 sq ft.

How much clearance do you need around a bed?

Aim for at least 24 in of walking space on each open side of the bed, and about 30 in in front of a dresser so the drawers can open fully. Less than that feels cramped and blocks daily movement.
