Bed sizes Queen Vs. Double

Recommended Posts

I'm booking a hotel online and the price for a double bed and a queen are the same. So what's the difference in size?

OMG! Dude! get the Queen!! The double really sucks... and especially if you are with some S.O.. It really sucks to be knocked off the bed or to just wanna go to the other double bed for more roomy comfort and a better night sleep. :P

Yeah i'd love to get the king but cash is tight, we actually shouldn't be going on this trip, but nine inch nails is playing in chicago and we both love their music and have never seen them in concert.

perhaps just another one of those differences between the UK and US, but here bed names from smaller to larger is:
single,
queen (a single and a half)
double
king (a double and a half)

based on that, I decided to book doubles rather than queens 'cos I figured queens were smaller than doubles - should have asked here first shouldn't I [:/]

usually you will find that you get one queen, or two doubles for the same price. which you choose depends on your plans for your travelling companion. ;)
