Silversea beds

[Outsource12]

Does anyone know if the beds on silversea in the suite are actually king size? They say queen, but when you push two twin beds together you get a King size mattress. Thanks.

Are you sure of your dimensions? I always thought 2 twins = a full size. A king mattress is MUCH larger than a full. Maybe someone who knows more about mattress sizes can chime in here.

In the US 2 twins pushed together is more or less (not exactly) the same as a queen.

A U.S. twin is 38", and a queen is 60".

Annoyingly, there are different sizes in different countries.  In the UK the single size is a standard 36", and I feel sure that the double/twin beds on most of the luxury ships, in a standard size suite, are twice 36",or  6' ,  i.e. two pushed together or not.  I think in the UK that is a King size, a Queen being an unsplittable 60"  or 5' wide.

Doesn't matter what you call them, the SS beds are 33 inches by 80 inches.

So, when pushed together, they make a 66 inch by 80 inch bed.

33"?  Strange size.  Not US, UK, EU or Aus!

Actually, all cruise lines use flat, not fitted sheets, so they can just tuck-in the sheets to conform to the mattress.

This is exactly correct - I measured them once.
