🛏️ Hotel Bed Sizes: What to Expect?
Booking a hotel room? Don’t assume the bed will feel like home. Hotel bed sizes vary dramatically across the world—and so do bed setups, duvet styles, and mattress types.
At BedSize.com, we help you sleep smarter. From tiny doubles in Paris to oversized Kings in Vegas, we break down what to expect, how to upgrade, and how to get better rest no matter where you check in.
🧠 What to Know Before You Book
🛏 Bed sizes are not globally standardized. A “Double” in Scandinavia isn’t the same as a “Double” in the UK or USA.
🌍 Same name, different reality. “King” or “Queen” can mean different dimensions in each region.
🌟 Higher stars = bigger beds. Luxury hotels tend to offer wider, longer beds by default.
💸 Room upgrades often mean better mattresses and more legroom.
🏨 Chains offer consistency. Boutique hotels? Anything can happen—sometimes delightfully, sometimes… not.
🛌 What About Duvets and Sleep Setups?
🛏️ In many European countries, especially Scandinavia, it’s common for double beds to come with two single duvets—even for couples. Some love it (no fighting over covers), others find it odd.
🌡️ In warmer countries or budget hotels, you might get a thin blanket or a sheet instead of a proper duvet.
🧺 Some hotels prioritize ease of cleaning over comfort—expect thin top sheets, stiff pillows, or mattress toppers that shift.
💡 Always check photos and reviews, or use our guides to know what to expect in each location.
