A queen fits a small bedroom; a king needs more width for walkways. Enter your room to see which bed leaves comfortable clearance.
Queen versus king is a width decision, and width is exactly what a small room runs out of. Enter your room to see which bed keeps the walkways usable.

Frequently asked
A queen (60x80 in) is comfortable in a 10x10 room. A king (76x80 in) wants at least 10x12 and is comfortable in 12x12, because its extra 16 in of width eats the side walkways. Both beds are the same 80 in length.
01It fits by floor area but leaves under 20 in on each side and crowds the door, which is too tight for comfort. A queen is the better choice for a 10x10; save the king for a 10x12 or larger.
02A king is 16 in wider than a queen (76 vs 60 in). In practice that pushes the comfortable minimum room from about 10x10 for a queen to 10x12 or 12x12 for a king, to keep the side walkways usable.
