Over the last few weeks we’ve seen an increase in the number of international orders received here at Natural Bed Company. We’ve sent a wide variety of bed bases to many different countries over the years, but with the noticeable increase in enquiries from customers outside the UK, now seems like a good time to take a look at the different U.S and European bed sizes we can provide.

We have a world map on the wall at the Natural Bed Company showroom showing each international city we’ve delivered to. In the U.S., Los Angeles and New York are the most common, but other areas are well represented. We have had customers in 14 States so far (that’s Massachusetts, New Mexico, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, Wisconsin, Texas, Georgia, California, Oregon, Wyoming, Washington and Idaho if you’re interested!) leaving 36 more to go! As we make all of our solid wood bed bases to order we can produce beds in any US size and below is a list of the most common options:
99x191cm – generally called a US Twin152x203cm – generally called a US Queen193x203cm – generally called a US King183x213cm – generally called a California King
For the US Twin, and US Queen size options we do not have to make any major adjustments to our standard designs, and our sprung beech slats working well with these sizes. However, for the US King and California King, we need to switch to fixed pine slats as the standard beech option is not suitable. This is due to the size of the gap between the side and centre rails of the bed. To find out the prices for these bed-sizes, please contact us (counter@naturalbedcompany.co.uk) with the size, bed type and timber choice you are interested in and with your full delivery address.
Although we do not sell our mattresses internationally, there has been some interest from customers attempting to source US size mattresses in the UK. We can help with this – please contact us for more information on custom size mattresses.

All of our beds are available as standard in Euro Kingsize, and an EU Superking is the same as as UK Superking. The prices for these two sizes are displayed on our product pages. For all other sizes listed above, please contact us for a quote. If you are based outside of mainland UK, we’ll need confirmation of the bed design, size and timber, as well as your full delivery address.
Our free delivery policy only applies to mainland UK addresses. Any customers that are further afield will require a quote for the shipping cost in addition to the bed price. UK VAT will be removed from quotes where relevant.
It is important to note that we are not able to provide a quote that includes your country’s own VAT rate, or import fees. We would recommend contacting your local authority to check what fees will be payable upon import.
Transit times can vary from country to country, ranging anywhere from 3 – 4 days all the way up to 10 – 14 days, depending on the destination and the time of year.
If you are interested in placing an order with us but are struggling to decide between a couple of designs or timber options, please get in touch. We can provide further photographs and any measurements not shown on the website to help make the decision making process a little easier. Additionally, if you are interested in a bed size not mentioned here do not hesitate to contact us. We have made a variety of custom sizes over the years, including ones that aren’t standard in any country!
n the US, the most common bed sizes include:Twin: 38 × 75 inchesFull (Double): 54 × 75 inchesQueen: 60 × 80 inchesKing: 76 × 80 inchesCalifornia King: 72 × 84 inchesThese dimensions are crucial when buying bedding or a new mattress to ensure a perfect fit.
European bed sizes typically differ from the UK and US sizes. The most common dimensions are:Single (90 × 200 cm)Double (140 × 200 cm)King (160 × 200 cm)Super King (180 × 200 cm)When buying bedding for European mattresses, it’s important to double-check whether you’re getting UK or European sizes as they can vary.
The UK, US, and European bed sizes differ in both width and length. For example:UK King: 150 × 200 cmUS King: 76 × 80 inches (193 × 203 cm)European King: 160 × 200 cmThese variations can affect the bedding you purchase, so always confirm the exact mattress dimensions before buying new sheets or comforters.
The key difference between a European King (160 × 200 cm) and a UK King (150 × 200 cm) is the width. The European King is 10 cm wider, which can impact the fit of bed linens, especially if you’re purchasing bedding from a different country.
Using US bedding on a European mattress can be tricky due to size differences. For example:A US Queen (60 × 80 inches) is slightly smaller than a European Queen (160 × 200 cm).US King size (76 × 80 inches) is larger than a European King (160 × 200 cm), but narrower than the UK King.While it’s possible to use US bedding on European mattresses, be prepared for a mismatch in size and coverage.
When purchasing duvets or fitted sheets, the difference in bed sizes between the US and Europe can impact your bedding fit:US-sized bedding (especially for Queen and King sizes) can be slightly too large or too small for European beds.European beds tend to have a standard mattress depth of about 20–30 cm, whereas US mattresses can be deeper, requiring deeper sheets or duvets.If in doubt, always measure your mattress to ensure proper bedding fit.
Yes, there are differences in bedding across regions. While flat sheets are often standard, fitted sheets need to be carefully matched with the mattress depth and size. Similarly, duvet covers or bedspreads may require custom sizing depending on whether you’re purchasing from US, UK, or European suppliers.If you buy bedding internationally, ensure you check the exact size and depth before purchase.
