Default bed linen sizes...

just wondering.....we have a european king sz bed...180x200cm.....

will we be able to get sheets over there for them?

i mean, alot of designer furniture companies are european so i assume that people that buy them can get sheets for them too in aus or the beds would be useless??...

our containers gone, so no chances of filling the last 2" of spacw in there with some spare sheets...

We reckon that Aus Queen size is the same as UK King size, so their King is porbably UK Super-King... hth.

edit - we have never actually measured stuff, but when we have bought linen for our UK King size duvet, we had to buy Queen covers to fit it...

Yes, Euro SuperKing is an Oz Kingsize at 180x200mm - that's the only size I always get right, the other beds are trial and usually error

oh..phew!

i looked at the aussie ikea website and their kingsize beds were 174 wide, which led me to panic slightly!

no point having an nice bed and expensive mattress with no sheets!
