Default 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 ??)

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.........

simon as a fellow cairns resident have to say I am starting to feel the chill at night definitely a lot cooler than when we arrived in Jan lol

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