Better yet, get two chairs and do this with the 1st chair in the corner and the 2nd chair next to it. Then sit "side saddle" on the chair(s) and imagine swinging your legs off the "bed" and into the gap. If you think that's enough space then your good to order your King bed.

If it's purely to rest and sleep, then functionality of hopping out of bed may be your only criteria. My wife is somewhat claustrophobic, and I'm a clutz at kicking everything, so 55cm wouldn't be close. Also, our bedroom is kinda our sanctuary-we relax, read, check H1 before bedtime. Walls 55cm from me would not feel like a sanctuary. Some really good tips from others at testing out the space-good luck!
