== Nomenclature == Naming standards on different bed sizes and their corresponding actual measurements can vary across national standards. Examples of such nomenclature are names like "Single", "Full" or "Double", "Queen" or "King" size. Sometimes the naming standards are further divided by adding adjectives such as "Narrow", "Wide", "Extra Wide", "Long", "Extra Long" and so on, which also can vary across national standards. For example, a ''King size'' bed may measure (in width by length): * {{cvt|60|x|78|in|cm|0|order=flip}} in the UK.<ref name=NBF_Size /> * {{cvt|165|x|203|cm|0}} in New Zealand.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bedpost.co.nz/Mattress-Sizes/ |title=Mattress Sizes: Single, Double, Queen, King & Super King | Bedpost New Zealand |publisher=Bedpost.co.nz |date=2022-08-29 |accessdate=2022-09-29 |archive-date=25 August 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190825125712/https://www.bedpost.co.nz/Mattress-Sizes/ |url-status=live }}</ref> * {{cvt|180|x|190|cm|0}} in Portugal, but is also available in {{cvt|195|and|200|cm|0}} lengths.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sizechart.com/home/bed-size/portuguese/index.html |title=Portuguese Bed Sizes |publisher=SizeChart.com |date= |accessdate=2022-09-29 |archive-date=29 August 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190829063514/http://www.sizechart.com/home/bed-size/portuguese/index.html |url-status=live }}</ref> * {{cvt|180|x|200|cm|0}} in Indonesia.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://serta.co.id/customer-service/faq/ |title=FAQ Β» Serta Mattress Indonesia |access-date=25 August 2019 |archive-date=25 August 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190825135054/https://serta.co.id/customer-service/faq/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> * {{cvt|183|x|191|cm|0}} in Singapore<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.simmons.com.sg/mattress-sizes-singapore/ |title=The Definitive Guide to Mattress Sizes in Singapore |publisher=Simmons.com.sg |date= |accessdate=2022-09-29 |archive-date=25 August 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190825135101/https://www.simmons.com.sg/mattress-sizes-singapore/ |url-status=live }}</ref> and Malaysia.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.sealy.com.my/tips-to-buy-king-size-and-queen-mattress/ |title=King Size & Queen Size Mattress In Malaysia - Sealy Asia (M) Sdn Bhd |publisher=Sealy.com.my |date=2018-12-10 |accessdate=2022-09-29 |archive-date=25 August 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190825135052/https://www.sealy.com.my/tips-to-buy-king-size-and-queen-mattress/ |url-status=live }}</ref> * {{cvt|183|x|203|cm|0}} in Australia.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.fortywinks.com.au/Help-FAQs/Bed-size-guide |title=Bed Size Guide | Help & FAQs |publisher=Forty Winks |date= |accessdate=2022-09-29 |archive-date=25 August 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190825125711/https://www.fortywinks.com.au/Help-FAQs/Bed-size-guide |url-status=live }}</ref> * {{cvt|183|x|216|cm|0}} in India.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://bestmattressinindia.com/indian-mattress-sizes-dimensions/ |title=Indian Mattress Sizes and Dimensions - Best Mattress In India |access-date=25 August 2019 |archive-date=25 August 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190825135055/https://bestmattressinindia.com/indian-mattress-sizes-dimensions/ |url-status=live }}</ref> * {{cvt|193|x|202|cm|0}} in the US.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.us-mattress.com/mattress-size-information.html |title=Mattress Size Information |publisher=US-Mattress.com |date= |accessdate=2022-09-29 |archive-date=25 August 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190825125711/https://www.us-mattress.com/mattress-size-information.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Because of the growth of [[international trade]] and the above potential cause of confusion, bed sizes are becoming more standardized.
