Europe Ĭomparison diagram of some of the most common European single and double bed sizes.Įurope may traditionally have had more variations in national bed size standards than any other part of the world, but in the recent years a few sizes have become more common than others.
In the United States, Canada and other regions influenced by the former British Empire, dimensions are often in inches. In most countries, using the International System of Units, bed dimensions most often appear in centimeters, and often only by width and length. īecause of the growth of international trade and the above potential cause of confusion, bed sizes are becoming more standardized. Sometimes the naming standards are further divided by adding adjectives such as "Narrow", "Wide", "Extra Wide", "Long", "Extra Long" and so on, which also can vary across national standards.įor example, a King size bed may measure (in width by length): Examples of such nomenclature are names like "Single", "Double", "Queen" or "King" size. Naming standards on different bed sizes and their corresponding actual measurements can vary across national standards. Mattress sizes may differ from bedding sizes. While beds are generally rectangular, more specialized shapes may be obtained by special order, such as circular beds. In addition, two mattresses with the same nominal size may still have slightly different dimensions, due to manufacturing tolerances, amount of padding, and support type. Dimensions and names vary considerably around the world, with most countries having their own standards and terminology. Bed sizes also vary according to the size and degree of ornamentation of the bed frame. Standard bed sizes are based on standard mattress sizes, which vary from country to country. Double-size beds are usually intended for two persons.
