    Think there the same in Ireland, but in other areas there not.

    UK and Ireland sizes
    Most modern beds/mattresses sold in the UK and Ireland are constructed using imperial dimensions[2] but are sometimes sold in their (very) approximate metric equivalents.[3]

    Small single
    2'6 by 6' (about 75 cm x 180 cm)

    Standard single
    3' x 6'3", also sold as 90 cm by 190 cm.[2]

    Prince aka small double or three quarter
    4' by 6'3" (approximately 120 cm x 190 cm). Not widely available

    Standard double
    4'6" x 6'3", also sold as 135 cm by 190 cm.[2]

    King (also sold as Queen in UK)
    5' x 6'6", also sold as 150 cm by 200 cm.[2]

    Super King
    6' x 6'6", also sold as 180 cm by 200 cm.[2]

    Larger sizes are available by special order, such as 'Eastern king' (78 in (200 cm) wide), 'Emperor' (84 in (210 cm) wide) and 'Caesar' (96 in (240 cm) wide).

    Mainland European basic sizes [see next] are sold in the UK, notably from IKEA: these are sometimes known as "IKEA size beds".[4]


    I think it's time to start looking for a new king size bed as ours has seen better days and nights.
