Mapper | @simbabque: "Laying in the middle of that would probably be less comfortable then the sides." - I have one like that and the middle feels no different from the sides. The mattress is rather thick and not too soft, though, otherwise, one might notice. | |
| Nov 8, 2017 at 17:07 | comment | added | simbabque | @O.R.Mapper you misunderstood my comment I think. The Ehebett is always two small 90x200 mattresses. That was my point. :) A 140x200 bed typically has a wide base and one or two legs in the middle. A 160x200 might have that as well. I've seen a 180x200 bed in a store that had two bases, but one mattress. Laying in the middle of that would probably be less comfortable then the sides. Most hotels in my experience have the movable ones as said in the answer. Some chains have a little wider ones, but I think they are rather rare. | |
| Nov 8, 2017 at 17:04 | comment | added | O. R. Mapper | @simbabque: Of course, some beds are designed to hold two bed bases and one wide mattress. Still, 2x 1.40m seems extremely wide to me. I think an Ehebett is typically somewhere between 1.40m and 2m wide in all. | |

| Nov 8, 2017 at 15:59 | comment | added | simbabque | In private homes we don't have names for larger mattresses. They are just described by their width. A queen size is a Eins-Vierzig-Mattratze. These wider sizes (as opposed to the traditional 90x200) have become more popular over the last years, a traditional double bed (Ehebett, from marriage) has two of those in a fixed frame next to each other. Since the bed base (Lattenrost) and the mattress will wear out more if two people sleep on a wide bed, older people probably stay with that double bed concept. | |
