Ah, I was going by Wikipedia, which said that a U.K. double was 5cm wider than an American double. Just googled it properly and it looks like Wikipedia is talking nonsense (who would have thought?!) and they’re actually the same size.

That’s fine then, it was just that our double bed at home is *just* big enough to cope with DH sprawling across the bed and leaving me enough space to cling on to my edge! Those 5cm could have made all the difference to us coming home still speaking to each other!
