UK & Ireland Bed Sizes

British and Irish bed sizes are usually measured in Imperial units (feet and inches). The names King and Super King are used for the largest bed sizes rather than Queen and King.

Single beds are generally slightly narrower in the UK and Ireland than in the US.

There are two variations on the single bed size, they are the Small Single 2'6 x 6'3" (0.76m x 1.91m) and the Extra Long (XL) Single 3' x 6'6" (0.91m x 1.98m)

Double Bed Size
