The area percentage uses UK Single as its denominator. It is 15 cm narrower than a UK Single while keeping the same nominal length. That difference can change whether a rigid frame opening or fitted bedding matches.
Not the same worldwide
It is much narrower than a US Twin despite both being single-person product names.
Evidence type: convention · high confidence.
Before ordering
A named size is not a fit guarantee. Compare the seller’s finished width, length and stated tolerance with the frame opening and bedding specification.
Published tolerance: Nominal UK convention; verify the finished product.
Measure the finished mattress and the frame’s internal opening. Measure the mattress correctly and check which frame dimension controls fit.
