The dimensions and definition of a 'Queen' sized bed actually varies depending on what country you are in.

In the US and Australia a bed measuring 60 × 80 in (152 × 203 cm) is considered to be 'Queen' sized whereas in the UK 60 × 78 in (152 × 198 cm) is the accepted definition. In the rest of Europe, however, a mattress 63 × 79 in (160 × 200 cm) would be considered 'Queen' sized.

The term 'Emperor' bed is a less commonly used measurement but is generally considered to be a mattress of 200x 200cm with an overall dimension of  214 x 218cm.
