double oznacza podwojne lozko czyli 2 razy twin
twin ma szerokosc 98 cm i dlugosc 188 cm.

[deadeasy]

double - znaczy, ze jest jedno lozko do spania dla dwoch osob razem, bez
wdawania sie w szczegoly w rozmiary (bo moze byc rozmiar "double bed", "king
size bed" i "super king sieze bed" itp.). Zdarza sie, ze dwa pojedyncze lozka
sa zlaczone tworzac "double".

twin - znaczy, ze lozka sa oddzielne (pojedyncze="single-bed")

Jesli na przyklad dwoch kumpli sie wybiera na wakacje to poprosza o twin-room,
no chyba ze... ;)

to chyba w europce

twin znaczy o pewnych konkretnych wymiarach wyrka
a nie, ze dwa sa oddzelnie

to moze w UK, w US lub CAN poprosza o pokoj z dwoma wyrkami
i o ile dobrze pamietam, to beda tam
dwa wyrka queen size

[deadeasy]

"double" - w tym wypadku chodzi o rozroznicowanie, ze nie "twin", ze jest jeden
materac, jedno wyro, na ktorym "para" (kobieta z mezczyzna, na przyklad) spia
razem (UK). Sam rozmiar lozka nie ma nic do tego, moze byc "double-room"
z "super king size bed" a i tak sie taki pokoj nazywa "double". Ile ludzi na
nim zmiescisz to Twoja prywatma sprawa. Ja osobiscie nie lubie tloku i obcych
cial w moim lozku ;)

"twin" zawsze znaczy dwa osobne lozka (UK) - co do rozmiarow to tylko zgaduje
bo nie mialam tej przyjemnosci, "bed-hopping" mnie nie pociaga.

Pojedyncze lozka zlaczone w jedno faktycznie widzialam tylko w Polsce (pain in
the a*se, if you ask me).

Rezerwujac pokoj w hotelu w Polsce brat mojego meza musial jak chlop krowie
tlumaczyc i niemal rysowac plan pokoju zeby sie upewnic, ze dwa osobne wyrka
beda (bo z tylko kumplem jechal). Obsludze ciezko bylo zrozumiec czym sie
rozni "double" od "twin" - a moze to byl jego akcent? ;)

There might be differences between US and European expressions so they might
mean different things in different places.
Twin in NAmerica is the smallest bed ( usually for older toddlers up to early
teens...would be a bit too narrow for adults). Kids usually make a transition
from a a crib to a twin size.
Double is much wider and then you have Queen and King size as well. That goes
for duvet covers and bed linens that go by the same expressions..."TW, Dbl, Q,
K."

:)

I have never been to a hotel that has one double bed in it. Even if I am all by
myself, I would get two double beds. Again, that might vary between America the
UK. Just guessing.

to make things more confusing, single beds are also known as twin beds. Same
thing. Don't really know why but that's what it is.

I think I found out the reason why single beds are called twin beds. I am told
it's because in the 50's it was common to buy and use them in sets of two to a
room. It really doesn't make much sense today but we still use the old name
(which is totally misleadning).

Like in old American sit-coms, where there's a little chest-of-drawers thing
between mommy's bed and pop's bed? With a lamp on top of it?
Did that happen in real life, or just in films? Even today, when we see double
beds in sit-coms, they always wear pyjamas and nighties...

[kylie1]

No, it's not like that. It's like the Brady Bunch kids that had to share their
rooms - single beds stacked on top of each other or side by side. Two beds to
one room, one kid on each bed. Because they had two single beds to a room, they
were later called twin beds.
