Bed Sizes

I would say so. It is reasonably close to US bed sizes. I think a lot of US travelers expect the either the queen or king size beds as is now common in most US hotels. Sometimes you will find two twins push together to make a king size -- more or less -- size bed.

The “double” bed size in Europe is a bit confusing. Sometimes it is one bed, about the size of a “full” in the US. This is a bit small for a couple used to a King.

Other times a “double” is 2 twin beds pushed together. This is much more spacious, but there’s that crack in the middle. I have only once or twice seen a single bed similar in size to a King in Europe.

In the UK standard bed sizes are as follows:

Single - 3 foot wide by 6 foot 3 inches long
Double - 4 foot 6 inches wide by 6 foot 3 inches long
King - 5 foot wide by 6 foot 6 inches long
Super King - 6 foot wide by 6 foot 6 inches long

A point about terminology: in the UK we don’t use the word “twin” to denote a bed size. What you in the US call a “twin,” we call a “single bed.”

Twin is only used to describe a room - meaning a room with two separate beds, usually singles.
