Standard bed sizes are based on standard mattress sizes, which vary from country to country. Bed sizes also vary according to the size and degree of ornamentation of the bed frame. Dimensions and names vary considerably around the world, with most countries having their own standards and terminology. In addition, two mattresses with the same nominal size may have slightly different dimensions, due to manufacturing tolerances, amount of padding, and support type. Mattress sizes may differ from bedding sizes.
Nomenclature
Naming standards on different bed sizes and their corresponding actual measurements can vary across national standards. Examples of such nomenclature are names like "Single", "Double", "Queen" or "King" size. 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.
For example, a King size bed may measure (in width by length):
- Шаблон:Cvt in the UK.[1]
- Шаблон:Cvt in New Zealand.[2]
- Шаблон:Cvt in Portugal, but is also available in Шаблон:Cvt lengths.[3]
- Шаблон:Cvt in Indonesia.[4]
- Шаблон:Cvt in Singapore[5] and Malaysia.[6]
- Шаблон:Cvt in Australia.[7]
- Шаблон:Cvt in India.[8]
- Шаблон:Cvt in the US.[9]
Because of the growth of international trade and the above potential cause of confusion, bed sizes are becoming more standardized. In most countries, using the International System of Units, bed dimensions most often appear in centimeters, and often only by width and length.[10] In the United States, Canada and other regions influenced by the former British Empire, dimensions are often in inches.[11]
Europe
Europe may traditionally have had more variations in national bed size standards than any other part of the world,[12] but in the recent years a few sizes have become more common than others. Bed sizes are defined in centimeters in all European countries, although supplementary Imperial equivalents are sometimes shown in the United Kingdom.
Today, the most common widths sold by pan European retailers are:
- Шаблон:Cvt for single beds.[13]
- Шаблон:Cvt for double beds.
Other sizes are also available in some European countries (e.g., Шаблон:Cvt), but the widths listed above are the most common when looking at the European market as a whole, while Шаблон:Cvt and Шаблон:Cvt (nominal) are more typical in the UK and Ireland.
Today, the Шаблон:Cvt length is the most common bed length sold by pan-European retailers. Lengths of Шаблон:Cvt are often also available by special order. The longer beds are intended for taller people,[14] and as a rule of thumb Шаблон:Convert long beds may be recommended to people Шаблон:Cvt or taller, while Шаблон:Cvt beds are recommended for people over Шаблон:Cvt tall.[15]

In France, single size beds are usually Шаблон:Cvt.
The most common sizes for double beds are:

UK and Ireland
In the United Kingdom and Ireland, beds are measured according to the size of mattress they hold,[19] not the dimensions of the bed frame itself; bed frame sizes are not standardized and may differ between manufacturers.[1][20] Listed below are the typical bed sizes from the National Bed Federation, which is the trade association for the majority of British and Irish bed manufacturers and their suppliers.[21] Most NBF manufacturers use designs dimensioned in feet and inches with the metric indicators not being exact equivalents.[22] There can legally be a tolerance of up to ±Шаблон:Cvt between the quoted measurements and the size of the mattress itself.[23]
| Size | Dimensions | |
|---|---|---|
| Centimeters | Inches[20][1] | |
| Small single | Шаблон:Cvt | |
| Single | Шаблон:Cvt | |
| Small double* | Шаблон:Cvt | |
| Double | Шаблон:Cvt | |
| King | Шаблон:Cvt | |
| Super King | Шаблон:Cvt | |
Some UK retailers may have a "queen" size which refers to one of the above standard sizes, but there is inconsistency around which size specifically, with both the small double and super king being prevalent.
Adjustable beds or electric adjustable bed sizes differ from the standard bed size. The length of these beds differ from a standard size due to the nature of the bed needing to bend. So they are 200cm in length compared to 190cm. King size and super king size are normally 2 x 75cm or 2 x 90cm linked beds. [25]
As well as customary UK sizes, some common European sizes can be found in the UK from imports and IKEA.[20][26] The typical length of an IKEA and other European mattresses is Шаблон:Cvt, whereas UK lengths vary depending on the width of the mattress, being usually either Шаблон:Cvt.[27] In 2015, IKEA started offering beds and mattresses in customary UK sizes alongside their standard European sizes.[28]

North America
The sizes of mattresses use non-numeric labels such as a "king" or "full", but are defined in inches. Historically most beds were "twins" or "doubles" but in the mid-1940s larger mattresses were introduced by manufacturers. These were later standardized as "queen" and "king", and first made a significant impact on the market in the 1950s and 60s.[29] Standard mattress depth ranges from the "standard" size of Шаблон:Cvt to "high contour" of up to Шаблон:Cvt. Below are the standard ISPA widths and heights in the United States and Canada.[30][31]
While the dimensions are specified to the half-inch below, the actual dimension used by manufacturers or various websites may be half an inch larger or smaller.[30]
