Video transcript

Two single beds do not equal a double bed. Single beds typically measure 90cm x 190cm (36” x 75”) each, whereas a double bed measures 135cm x 190cm (54” x 75”). Even though placing two singles together may provide a larger sleeping area, they will not seamlessly form a unified double bed. It's better suited for a king or super king size arrangement if more space is needed.
