Hi
Is there any kind person out there that can tell me the sizes of beds in Oz please? Is a double bed called a queen? What is a king size called? Just trying to decided whether to pack any linen or not. Cheers Nic |

You sure about that? It's certainly not what we understand - and we've just bought a new King bed here, which is the same as our UK King.

No he is right. A UK king size bed is a Queen size bed here. The Australian King Size has no equivalent in the UK, meaning all the linen you buy in the UK marked king size wont fit.

It's certainly a real aggravation when trying to buy, wherever you happen to be! Especially when you take into account the extreme mattress depths they dream up now - our latest one needs 45cm deep fitted sheets! |
Re: Sizes of Beds!
I thought the UK superking was the equivalent to the oz King? Maybe I am wrong

Re: Sizes of Beds!
Bring your stuff, if it fit's great - if it doesn't then buy some :D
Don't go into the big bedding shops as they are expensive, there are some smaller ones that often have quite good quality stuff at a good price. Also look for the KMart, Target, BigW sales as you can get them with 20 or 25% off. Even Woolworths and Coles have some good bargains now and then. ;):) |
Re: Sizes of Beds!

Re: Sizes of Beds!
Single sized linen 's diff. from UK too. i brought kids duvet covers over and bought light weight single duvets here, don't fit as they are much wider than the UK size duvets .
