Beds come in a range of sizes for a range of purposes. From the single sizes like 90cm x 190cm (a UK Single) to large sizes like the 180cm x 200cm (a UK Super King or Euro King). However, there are a set of bed sizes over the usual sizes around the world catering to extremely large rooms. Examples of these oversized mattresses are the UK Emperor size bed frame or the American Wyoming King size bed (84″ x 84″).
