Can anyone give a definitive answer on whether Singapore Ikea bed sizes are the same is Ikea in the UK....
Not all that clear on line at Ikea

I would have thoughts so, makes no sense to have different ranges for different counties, the best bet is to log into the IKEA UK website and then Log into the IKEA singapore and compare the sizes.

I measured the other week. Our spare room UK Ikea queen is the same size mattress as my eldest's SG Ikea queen, different types of mattress too if that helps. Smallest's single bought here appears the same size as the Ikea he had in the UK, same bedding fits fine. The duvet covers also fit Ikea duvets.

But ikea is Swedish sizes. UK ikea mattresses do not fit standard UK sheets or beds.

I just measured again and they are exactly the same but husband who was curious as to why I was measuring beds says this bed is US not UK. The UK one went to storage. So, sorry.

I think Ikea tailors their sizes according to market. Failing that, sizes are always on their website, although for beds, use mattresses instead of the actual bed size.

I have just had a response from Ikea...Head Office no less!
Apparently bed sizes are not uniform. Ikea in the UK sells two size types - UK and European. Singapore is ANOTHER size altogether....the beds are shorter. No kidding, they are shorter. I always wondered way my partner's legs fell off the bed since we came to Singapore - and here I was thinking it was an age related problem!
My god. I thought metric and imperial allen keys was bad, now even the beds are different sizes.

IMM has some bed shops with properly huge US super kings.

I have to go, my 5 year old now wants me to measure all of our furniture so he can write it down in his book. Thanks for that.

Edited because of stupid autocorrect.

True and it's giving the dog a break. He's spent most of the day trying to teach him to dance so they can be famous.
