Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

This is just the US btw. Here's the UK:
You basically never see emperor though
I think European sizes differ slightly too because IKEA duvets and bedding never quite agree with stuff from other shops
As a tall Dutch person, my bed is 220 long and 200 wide. Unfortunately Ikea only carries 200 long mattresses, so I need to go to specialty stores.
But luckily tall people problems are prevalent here, so lots of stores.
I always just thought it was IKEA making sure you'd have to buy a bed, mattress and bedding exclusively from them.
Nah, here in Germany for example, the standard single bed is 90x200cm, the standard double bed is 140x200cm and the king size (although I’m not sure how it would actually be called) is 180x200cm and usually just uses two 90x200cm mattresses. Can’t say I’ve ever seen a larger bed.
It’s the same in Sweden, which suggests it’s either an EU-wide standard or informally standardised (perhaps thanks to IKEA’s economies of scale).
The UK is presumably different because the Inselaffen like things being in round numbers of inches and they didn’t vote Leave to have 140cm double beds.
As a non-English English-speaker, I just learned some German

How is a king smaller than a queen...
He likes big butts and he cannot lie
IIRC The queen would need space for kids or something like that
To allow for the Superking
