CandyCoo Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Hi there I hope someone can help...my family and I are moving over to WA in March this year and shipping our furniture over next month....I'm trying to get a bit organised and wanted to know if the bed sizes are the same as here in the UK? We have a standard (UK) double 4'6" A king size (UK) Then two single beds. Will I be able to buy bedding to fit in Oz? What are the bed sizes there? Also Oz is the same as UK for electrical items, just a different plug...am I correct? Any advice will be welcomed on other subjects, thank you so much in advance....very excited but terrified wife and mum of two! xxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Will I be able to buy bedding to fit in Oz? What are the bed sizes there? There's a comparison chart at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bed_size There are only small differences. Also Oz is the same as UK for electrical items, just a different plug...am I correct? Yep. One tip for things like mobile phone chargers/other transformers that you can't change the plug on - bring a few of those 4-way mains strip adaptors. Change the plug on that to Aussie, and your chargers will work in the 4-way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou8670 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 You can also get linen delivered to Australia online from John Lewis amongst others. I think ikea beds and linen may be uk size or close enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
