What size are the beds?
Bed sizes vary from apartment to apartment. The exact size for each room is shown in the room-type information on the property page — always check there, or ask us at the time of booking.
Standard UK bed sizes
The diagram shows every bed drawn to scale, so you can see at a glance how much wider a Super King is than a Double.
| Bed | Size (cm) | Size (ft & in) | Sleeps |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single | 90 × 190 | 3' × 6' 3" | 1 person |
| Small Double | 120 × 190 | 4' × 6' 3" | 2 people |
| Double | 135 × 190 | 4' 6" × 6' 3" | 2 people |
| King | 150 × 200 | 5' × 6' 6" | 2 comfortably |

| Emperor | 200 × 200 | 6' 6" × 6' 6" | 2 very comfortably |
UK vs US bed sizes
Bed names don't cross the Atlantic cleanly, so it's easy to book the wrong size by name alone.
Watch the names: a US King is closest to a UK Super King, and a UK King is closest to a US Queen.
| UK bed | UK size | Closest US name | US size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single | 91 × 190 cm | Twin | 99 × 190 cm |
| Small Double | 120 × 190 cm | No direct match | — |
| Double | 135 × 190 cm | Full | 137 × 190 cm |
| King | 150 × 200 cm | Queen | 152 × 203 cm |
| Super King | 180 × 200 cm | King | 193 × 203 cm |
| Emperor | 200 × 200 cm | No direct match | — |
| No direct match | — | California King | 183 × 213 cm |
Other bed variations
From Murphy beds to Ziplinks, here's what the jargon on our property pages actually means.
| Type | What it means |
|---|---|
| Z or Foldaway Bed | An extra bed that folds away when it's not needed. Usually suitable for one adult or one child. |
| Sofa Bed | A sofa by day, a bed by night. Doubles suit one adult or two children; singles suit one adult or two children depending on size. |
| Pulldown or Murphy Bed | A bed that folds down from the wall when needed — popular in studios where space is tight. Usually suitable for one or two people. |
| Ziplink Bed | A King-size bed that unzips into two separate twin beds — handy when guests would rather sleep apart. |
| Air Bed | A blow-up air mattress. Suitable for one or two people depending on size. |
