- IKEA EU sizes match standard cm grid.

EU bed names in practice
Hotels across Europe reference 160×200 cm (~63.0×79.0 in) as a double/king couple bed in many countries while US guests expect that width to be called Queen. Always ask for cm when booking.
Split king setups use two 90×200 cm (~35.0×79.0 in) mattresses on one frame—sheets must match each half if adjustables move independently.
Mattress depth increased with pillow-top fashion; vintage EU fitted sheets may be too shallow for modern 28 cm profiles.
Children's EU beds 70×140 cm (~28.0×55.0 in) and 80×160 cm (~31.0×63.0 in) have no US name equivalent—buy by exact cm on the crib or junior frame label.
Duvet vs mattress pairing (EU)
| Mattress | Common duvet | Overhang |
|---|---|---|
| 90×200 single | 140×200 | One side + foot |
| 140×200 double | 200×200 | Equal |
| 160×200 king | 240×220 | Equal |
| 180×200 super king | 260×220 | Equal |
Moving EU furniture to the US
- EU king linen rarely fits US queen pocket depth—measure before shipping boxes overseas.
- Voltage for adjustable motors differs; size compatibility is separate from power adapters.
- IKEA global article numbers still list cm on packaging—rely on box text over translated marketing names.
- Custom boat and camper berths in EU cm need bespoke sheets; standard US RV sizes will not match.
EU bed mistakes
Avoid: Buying 'king' sheets in US for EU king mattress
Instead: EU king 160 cm (~63.0 in) wide ≠ US king 76 in (193 cm (~76.0 in)).
Avoid: Ignoring topper height
Instead: Add topper cm to fitted sheet pocket depth.
Avoid: Assuming hotel names match home country
Instead: Request 160×200 or 180×200 cm (~71.0×79.0 in) confirmation email.

Real-world notes on eu bed size chart
Charts for eu bed size chart summarize typical grading—they are not a guarantee for every season or factory run. When a brand refreshes a last or fit block, reviews often mention it before charts update.
Marketplace listings may ship mixed inventory. Compare the size stamped inside the item on delivery with the chart row you used at checkout.
If you are gifting, ask for body or foot measurements in cm instead of guessing their usual tag size. Gift returns are harder when wear signs appear.
Sales associates can measure you in store; take a photo of the store chart if you later order online from the same brand.
Between online orders, remeasure if your weight changed, you had a foot injury, or you switched sock or insole thickness for running.
Teaching kids their cm size helps them shop later—write foot length inside closet door as a reference.
Document the date you measured—repeat after pregnancy, injury, or major weight change so old numbers do not linger in notes apps.
Measurement hygiene
- Stand weight evenly on both feet when tracing outlines.
- Measure twice on different days if you are between rows.
- For clothing, wear the undergarments you will use with the piece.
- For shoes, match sock thickness to intended use.
- Convert using cm first, then read US/UK/EU from the row—never reverse the order.
- Keep a saved note on your phone with your foot cm and bust/waist/hip cm.
- Update kids' sizes every growth spurt—do not buy multiple seasons ahead.
- Check whether reviews mention 'runs small' for the exact model you chose.
- Prefer free-return windows when trying a new brand last.
- Wide feet: try width SKUs before adding length—see 2E vs 4E shoe width.
Common eu bed size chart errors
Avoid: Using an old size tag from a different brand
Instead: Measure today and match the chart row for this category.

Instead: Round to the row that fits your longer foot or largest body measure.
Avoid: Ignoring half sizes or wide widths
Instead: Half steps and 2E/4E widths fix fit better than guessing.
Avoid: Assuming sales charts match outlet or marketplace stock
Instead: Verify inside label on delivery against the chart you saved.
