What's the difference between a full, queen, and double bed?

Question

I've been looking for a duvet cover for my double bed, but it seems that bedsheets only come in three sizes: twin, full/queen, and king.

So what gives? Is a full the same size as a queen? If so, where does the double size fit in?

Signed,

Answer 1

full, queen, kings differentiate in inches. a double bed...twin maybe. that's a very small bed. I have never heard of a double bed...but i now that the sizes differentiate in inches..go to a store and ask a sales associate.

Answer 2

Full is slightly larger than a single and a double is twice the size a queen is larger still and the king is the largest.
