Why this pair matters

US Full is also called Double, creating a naming collision with the UK Double. Their nominal outlines are close but not sourced as one standard.

The figures above are calculated from the identified dimensional records, not from rounded display conversions.

Compatibility decision

UK Double is 3.8 mm wider; the exact-converted US Full is 5 mm longer.

Rigid frames, enclosed bases, fitted sheets and protectors should be selected from finished product measurements and depth—not from the closest name.
