Re: king size beds
 

you should be able to get one just about anywhere- but check the sizes first as we had a kingsize bed in Uk but when we got here the Oz kingsize sheets etc that we bought were too big and it seems that Uk king is an Oz queen .
In answer to your question Mick, Harvey Norman, Fantastic furniture, Freedom, Furniture Spot, Merrys, Furniture Bazaar or Bedshed to name but a few

I know there is a slight dif in sizes but surely doube is 4ft 6ins, queen 5ft and king 6ft, in width anyway, in both countries. It worked this way for me. :huh:

General rule i've found Aussie Queen = UK king, Aussie Double = UK Queen, or as near as makes no difference :)

Re: king size beds
 

I've just discovered, that for some odd reason, a 6ft double in the UK is a super king??? I thought they were cigarettes. :huh:

Re: king size beds
 

Yes, me too. :)

We've just bought a Aussie queen sized mattress for our UK king sized bed frame (which is STILL on route here from the UK) & our UK king sized sheet fits perfect. We also bought a new duvet, sorry I meant doona, in Aussie queen sized & our UK king sized cover (only have one the rest are in the flippin container) fits fine.

I often buy UK king size duvet covers in Asda and bring them back over for my Aussie Queen size duvet, works perfectly :)

Re: king size beds
 

Do they have ¾ beds in Australia?

Edit: Found the answer here. The link also shows all of the Australian/International king, queen and double bed sizes.

I LOVE my Aussie King as it means that I don't have to touch my Husband unless I really have to :rofl:

On a more serious note *cough* It's quite common for kids to have double beds here and kids covers can be bought in double sizes too.

Funny that. People think king sized bed = sexy and desirable. But what is so sexy about being half an acre (okay, slight exaggeration :o) away from your partner?

Re: king size beds
 

Yeah our kids have UK doubles which are coming over. Our son is 1.95 metres and couldn't fit on a UK single anymore. :D

We're shipping our UK King (Oz Queen size), but it will hopefully go into a spare room at some point, then we can buy a real King size again. Probably take years though.

King size is the best. :thumbup: (as long as there is a sturdy chandelier hanging above);)

Re: king size beds
 

We're in a Uk super king size and I most definately wouldn't go back to a smaller bed! We can meet in the middle when we want to ;) but then roll back and sleep star fish style without touching each other - perfect :wub::).

Re: king size beds
 

Haha! :rofl:

And probably a must in a hotter climate. My OH can be like a baked potato in summer :D

Re: king size beds
 

Single wins every time :thumbup::ohmy:

Re: king size beds
 

A chandelier for one? :p

Re: king size beds
 

Beautiful :wub:

Re: king size beds
 

We have an Australian King size and the kids all have Australian Queen Size beds.

Re: king size beds
 

Australian king size bed seems to accommodate the whole kingdom. :rofl:
Anyways king size bed is good to accomdoate tall king and fatty Queens. ;)
