What size is a European king mattress?

At 160cm wide and 200cm long, or 5’3" x 6’6", the European king-size is the second largest mattress we offer. A generous 25cm wider than a standard double mattress and 10cm wider than a king-size mattress , this is a great choice for co-sleepers who appreciate a little extra room to stretch out.

What's the difference between a king-size and European king-size?

The only difference between a king-size mattress and a European king style is that the latter is 10cm narrower than a normal king. This makes them the perfect solution if you want the room a king-size bed can offer, but can't quite fit it into your space.
