    Given the terms link here I think this may be a multiple entry comp but I am not 100%.
    Could someone maybe Tweet them to try & find out please.

    The answer is Queen size, not King, the link you refer to is for American sizes. The term Queen size isn't often used in the UK it is more commonly called Super King (6'0" X 6'6"). A Kingsize bed is 5'0" X 6'6". I sold beds for over ten years so I'm sure I'm right, also see here :

    Thanks for the help.
    You have me puzzled though as I always thought that queen was sort of half way between double & king size.
    Links I used also:

    I thought Queen too but when I looked I found the same links and more as weeowens, seems the confusion comes from America.

  • I've just googled it, and King came up as the answer. Really hoping that's right anyway.
