how do you say king or queen for bed sizes in spanish

Question

I would like to translate bed sizes for king or queen.

Answer 1

I venture to guess it greatly depends on the country you are in or the person you are talking to.

In Mexico, I know we have the following sizes from smallest to largest (this is how they're spelled too):

• individual
• matrimonial
• queen (pronounced the same way as in English)
• king (sounds more like keen)

Examples:

Compré unas camas individuales nuevas para mis hijos.

Los recién casados se compraron su cama matrimonial dos semanas antes de su boda.

Answer 2

Welcome cuelly

King size: cama de matrimonio extra grande

Queen size: cama de 1.50 por 2.00 metros

¿De veras las llaman a sí en España? ¿No usan "king"o "queen"? Nosotros tenemos "individual"; "matrimonial", "queen" y "king".... - Gekkosan, Jun 16, 2010

And in the USA:

Huh, I never knew there was a difference between a single and a twin size bed. I always thought they were synonyms! Learned something new. :) - MacFadden, Jun 16, 2010

Answer 4

Hi Cuelly. Welcome to the forum.

I know that "cama de matrimonio" was used in Mexico for a queen-size bed. I'm not sure about the king-size.
