We've just bought a US king sized bed and I am loathed to part with it, but I'm not sure that we'll find a place with a bedroom big enough to fit that and anything else in it. If I do bring it I will certainly be stocking up on bedding in advance!

You will, most new homes are designed with large beds in mind, so unless you decide to go into a Victorian Terrace you will have no problems.
We have a huge bed (the size of a super king in the UK) and we have had no problems. I believe US sizes are slightly different again (who knows why) so linen may be a slight problem.
Love the big beds!!!

If you're bringing beds over with you then definately stock up on bedding as it is quite pricey here!

HI,
As far as I am aware Queen size beds here are the same as King size in the UK, ie: 5ft. King Size here is equivalent to Super King Size in the UK. Ikea have funny sizes, best to measure if buying from them. I have bought 2 kid's single beds here from Capn Snooze and the bedding and duvets from Ikea and it all fits ok.
