quelque Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 I did a search and found one archive on bed sizes in France. It appears from the responses that there are really no differences in sizes but there was no mention about king size mattresses. I am going to order a 6 foot king mattress and divan today in the UK to take down with us to France next week. Is this a normal size in France? I would want to purchase the bed and linens in France. Any advise would be most appreciated.Wendy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxtrot Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Standard bed sizes are:single 90cm wide by 190cm longdouble 140 x 190king 160 x 2000I think that possibly since the arrival of IKEA in France, some of the standard double beds can also be 200cm long.Here's a link to BUT a furniture shop - I took a ramdom sample but it gives you the dimensions: http://www.but.fr/detail.php?id_ensemble=4455&start_row=0&origine=1Another point, do you really want to buy your linen in the UK. Just after Christmas in France there are really good value promotions on bedding, you can buy a plain white cotton double fitted sheet for 5 to 10 in most of the hypermarkets...Katie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Department71 Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 We have a king size bed in our home in France, took it down there on top of the car on a roof rack (base and mattress), I admit the rack was modified somwhat but it worked, we also had a Honda C70 on the back. My didn't we get some odd looks.Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
