Problem
A king fits the floor; the walkways decide
On paper a king bed fits your 10x12 room: with its frame it's 80 × 86 in, and the room is bigger both ways.
That's where most people stop checking. What decides it is the floor left around the bed: room to walk past, make the bed and open the door.
Visualise
Each walkway needs 24 in; 30 in is comfortable
That's enough to walk past the bed and tuck in the sheets. Green floor is comfortable, light red is tight, red is too narrow.
In your room: 2 ft 8 in each side and 2 ft 10 in at the foot.
Compare
The 12 ft wall leaves room to walk; the 10 ft wall is too tight
Wrong wall:the 10 ft wall, centered, 1 ft 8 in each side. Doesn't fit.
Too big:a California king, 2 ft 2 in each side. Just fits.
Right:the 12 ft wall, centered, 2 ft 8 in each side. Fits.
Fix
Put the headboard on the 12 ft wall, centered
From above: two nightstands fit and the door swings clear.

The rule
Leave 24 in60 cm of floor on both sides and at the foot of the bed; 30 in75 cm is comfortable.
Measure the room wall to wall, both ways, along the floor.
Measure the frame, not the mattress: a king with a headboard is about 80 × 86 in.a US king with a headboard is about 203 × 218 cm.
Try the headboard on the longer wall first.
Open the door all the way: the bed has to stay 32 in80 cm clear of the hinge.
