rainforest Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 We're moving from London to Melbourne in February. We don't have much to ship as we have already moved from Germany to UK and sold most of our stuff. I couldn't find king size beds and mattresses in IKEA in OZ? Is it worth shipping our own what do you think? If not, where in OZ could we buy a king size bed for a decent price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amibovered Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 We've got the opposite problem, moving Aus to UK, decided not to take the bed because the sizes are different so might be a problem when it comes time to buy a new mattress.

goingbacksoon Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 A Queen size bed in Australia is the same as a King in the UK. A King sized bed in Australia is the same as a Super King in the UK. You won't have any problem buying a QS bed or bedding, lots of choice. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bed_size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right. I haven't thought about this. There's 3 cm difference. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozmaniac Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Ikea don't have Super King beds in Australia. The largest they have is Queen which is similar in size to a UK King. The sizes they do have are slightly different from every other bed available in Australia. An Ikea King in Australia is 1520 x 2020 and an Australian (non-Ikea) Queen is 1530 x 2030 An Australian King is 1830 x 2030 An Australian Super King is 2030 x 2030 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
