Traditional Standard Bed Sizes
(courtesy of Sealy)

Bed                 Width               Length
King                 1830 mm            1880 mm
Queen              1520 mm            1880 mm
Double             1370 mm             1880 mm
Three Quarter   1070 mm            1880 mm
Single/Twin       915 mm             1880 mm

Remember that extra length beds also exist and are usually 2000mm long.
All measurements can also vary by +- 10mm due to manufacturing variances.  In addition, don't forget that these measurements are for the mattress size and that you may want to vary your "drop" depending on your mattress thickness and/or bed height, as well as your personal preference.  Bed sizes tend to vary from country to country, so if in doubt, rather measure your bed.
