Queen-sized beds

There are 4 sizes of beds. Below are their rough widths, the lenghts are usually the same.
1) Single/Twin - 1 pillow + 9 inches of extra width.
2) Double/Full - 2 pillows + 3 inches of extra width.
3) Queen - 2 pillows + 8 inches of extra width.
4) King - roughly the space of 2 pillows + 20+ inches of extra width OR almost 3 pillows.

The reason why I'm pointing this out is: A lot of people (couples included) think they're sleeping on Queen-sized beds, when they're actually on a double bed. Add that to the fact that most Malaysian homes are small - people think that any bed that can fit in 2 people = Queen-sized and are therefore meant for 2.

Fact is, what they're sleeping on is really a 'Full'-sized bed designed for single sleepers. These beds, although they can fit in 2 pillows, are meant for only one sleeper. Couples on it will lose 6 inches of space each compared to the single bed. That's 5 inches more than on a Queen-sized bed.
