What Size Is a Queen Bed?

A queen bed measures 153cm wide by 203cm long in American and Australian sizing, but queen is not a recognised UK bed size, which is why so many British shoppers end up with bedding that will not fit. The closest British equivalent is a king size at 150cm by 200cm, just 3cm smaller in each direction. This guide explains where the confusion comes from, sets queen against the full UK ladder of single, small double, double, king and super king, and shows that queen and UK king offer virtually identical sleeping space per person. It also covers the floor area a king size genuinely needs once frame dimensions and walking room are included, access routes and zip and link mattresses, central support requirements, and how to scale bedside furniture and storage around a larger bed....

There is also guidance on frame materials and on choosing firmness when two people share a wider mattress....
