Same size Double/queen??
 
Hello, after spending months sleeping on the floor we went out to get a bed frame for our double mattress, spent way to much money on a queen bed frame. Frame now delivered and mattress to small. Big argument re Australian and UK bed sizes!!!!! Now have to buy new mattress!!

so is a queen a double in the UK?? (and what is a bungalow bed ??) :huh:

A queen is about the same size as a UK king.
You will also find that duvets, sorry Doonas and pillows are bigger than UK one too.
Hope this helps, as for a bungalow bed.........:blink:

we have now graduated to having a bed throw on at night and no ceiling fan :eek:
