My fascinating life

The standard UK sizes for beds are shown below:

• Small-single - 75 cm x 190 cm (2' 6" x 6' 3")
• Single - 90 cm x 190 cm (3' 0" x 6' 3")
• Small-double - 120 cm x 190 cm (4' 0" x 6' 3")
• Double - 135 cm x 190 cm (4' 6" x 6' 3")
• Kingsize - 150 cm x 200 cm (5' 0" x 6' 6")
• Super kingsize - 180 cm x 200 cm (6' 0" x 6' 6")

I have discovered that if you buy a fitted sheet which is a different size to your mattress it won't work properly.

Possibly not enough to build a whole philosophical system upon, but I am a sadder and wiser man for learning it.
