A full size bed is also known as a double bed. The sheet measurements vary slightly between US and UK.  In the US a flat sheet for a full size bed would be 221cm x 259cm. A fâ¦itted sheet would be 137cm x 193cm x 20cm.  In the UK a flat sheet would be 220cm x 260cm and a fitted sheet would be 135cm x 190cm x 20cm.
Full bed size, also known as a âdouble/standardâ, was commonly used for two adults 30 - 40 years ago when the homes and bedrooms were built much smaller. Now it is usually purchased for single person use and sometimes smaller guest rooms. It is a tight fit for two adults and the same length as a twin. Two adults sleeping on a full size is equivalent to each person sleeping on a crib mattress (27 inches of sleep space). Most people with a sleeping partner opt for the queen size.
