What size canvas should you hang above a bed?
Match canvas width to roughly two-thirds of bed width. Queen bed (60" wide) → 30-40" canvas. King bed (76" wide) → 40-50". California king (72" wide) → 40-50". Hang the bottom edge 6-10" above the headboard.

Detailed answer
The two-thirds rule comes from interior designers — a canvas wider than the bed feels overwhelming; narrower than ⅔ feels lost. The 6-10 inch placement above the headboard reads as a paired-with-bed installation rather than a separate piece floating on the wall.
Orientation: landscape (horizontal) is more popular than portrait for above-bed because it mirrors the bed shape. For a king bed, a 40×20 or 50×30 landscape canvas hits the sweet spot.
