What size is a double bed in metric?
Its annoying me at this stage, i live in a country (Éire / Ireland) where we’re taught to ignore imperial measurements and use metric only but then i go looking to buy double bedding or a double bed (standard in US?) its in imperial. so could anyone give me an idea of the size width and length of a double bed and double bedding in metric meters?
the mattress size for the US Australia and the UK is
imperial is 54″” x 75″”
metric is 1.38 × 1.90 m
(width × length)
but in Europe the size is
imperial is 55″ × 79″
metric is 1.4 × 2 m
hope you get the double bedding you want
thanks
Mick
Its 135cm x 190cm
The site below also has a comparison chart of the three main regions.
The reason for the imperial measurements is as we are lamped in with the UK and they still use imperial far too much.
