UK BED SIZES

As a manufacturer I recently read a review regarding UK bed sizes, the writer gave aninaccurate sizeing so here are the correct sizes. You should also be aware that due to the manufacturing process a tolerance of 3.8cm or 1.5" should be made. The sizes listed below are the spring size not the finished product, soif you purchase amattress with generous layers of filling the thicker the mattress becomes, hence the tolerance.


Small Single 75cm x 190 cm or 2ft 6" x 6ft 3"


Single 90 x 190 cm or 3ft x 6ft 3"


Small Double 120 cm x 190 cm or 4ft x 6ft 3"


Double 135 cm x 190 cm or 4ft6" x 6ft 3"


Kingsize 150 cm x 200cm or 5ft x 6ft 6"


Superking 180 cm x 200 cm or 6ft x 6ft 6"


Queen size is an American term for Double. You should also be aware when purchasing a bed from Ikea only their own mattresses will fit their beds, Ikea sizeing is not standard so do not expect to buy a bed from Ikea and a mattress from elsewhere as it will not fit.
