Long Live The King!

Please settle an argument in the Boo household.

Which is bigger? A queen sized bed or a king sized one?

King

Queen

I think the confusion is that whatever the bed size, the queen takes up the most space.

[Buenchico]

I would instinctively said 'King' but both my first link and this one
http://www.bedtimesuperstores.co.uk/blog/post/uk-standard-bed-sizes-and-dimensions/
(as well as Ethandron) say that it's definitely 'Queen'

[ethandron]

You should know by now Chris, I'm always right ;)

[Old_Geezer]

Didn't your link show tables that suggested it depended on what part of the world you were in ?

A king size is 5' and a queen is 6'

I'd like to get the 'Two Cat' version - or bigger

[B00]

Oh bum, so it's looking like he was right? The Queen's bigger?

That defies all my logic- queen bigger than a king?

Harumph!!

Thanks for replies.

Yours, a naffed off wrong Boo :-(

I once had a king-size...back in NY. It was around 6'...if memory serves me. A queen was 5'.

Oh heck, not good to get best answer under these circumstances...but thanks anyway.

[Tilly2]

I think it depends whether you are American or British.

Those damn yanks are getting everywhere...;-)
Even in our beds....

No queen size here. Just make sure your mattress box springs are in order.(^_*)

it's king in the USA. Looks like the UK can't make up their minds. Some don't even have queens. Some think queen is bigger. Some think it's king eg Ebay, which thinks a queen is smaller than a double

Small Single 75 x 190, Standard Single 90 x 190, Queen 120 x 190, Standard Double 135 x 190, King 150 x 200, Super King 180 x 200

You should probably call this one a draw.
