Bed sizes !

Hi,

Is the Aussie equivalent of a british kingsize bed the same ? Shipping a mattress but not a frame and wanted to make sure I order the right thing !

Nope. Check this to compare.

If taking your mattress I'd be inclined to have a base to go with it also. We are shipping both. Bed cost a small fortune and I'd never get one as good for the same price once in Aus.

Thanks ! I had a quick look on the oz ikea website and saw at least one base that we could get away with !
