Mattress sizes in Qatar
A King mattress in Qatar is 180 × 200 cm, not the 193 × 203 cm sold as a King in the United States. Qatar and the wider Gulf use European metric dimensions with American size names, which is why the same word means a different bed in different countries.
| Name | Dimensions | Also sold as | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single | 90 × 190 cm | 90 × 200 | One sleeper |
| Double | 140 × 200 cm | 135 × 190 | Roomy for one. Tight for two. |
| Queen | 160 × 200 cm | 150 × 200 | Also sold as 150 x 200. Check your frame. |
| King | 180 × 200 cm | — | The Qatar King. Not the US 193 x 203. |
| Super King | 200 × 200 cm | 200 × 210 | No US equivalent |
| American King | 193 × 203 cm | — | Imported US sizing |
How to check your size
Measure the inside of your bed frame in centimetres rather than trusting the name. The genuinely ambiguous one is Queen: in Qatar it sells as both 160 × 200 and 150 × 200, and ten centimetres is enough to make a mattress not fit. If you see 193 × 203, that is American sizing and is usually labelled American King.
