Stair width?

My husband and I are likely putting in a U-shaped switchback stair (ie switchback stair with a half-circle landing), but were wondering about the best stair width to use.

If 36" is 'typical' - will we have any issues getting a king-size bed upstairs?
If 36" is too small, how large would you recommend? 42"? Or would we need 48? (which seems huge).

Were looking at ~2600 sq ft, two stories with a 10ft main and 8ft second floor, so not terribly large.
