Okay, I decided someone had to go look the sizes up. Here
is what one site says:
http://www.mattress.com/service/sizes.php

International Mattress Sizes
US/Canada Europe (UK)
Asia (Thailand)
Twin/Single 39" × 75" 36" × 75" 42"
× 78" × 22"
Double 54" × 75" 54" ×75" 48"
× 78" × 22"
Queen 60" × 80"
Olympic Queen 66" x 80"
California Queen 60" x 84"
King 76" × 80" 60" × 78"
72" × 78" × 22"
California King 72" x 84"
Super King 72" × 78"

If the table above is all wonky, you can follow the link. There are now
also "twin extras" and "double extras" which 80" long. I've never heard
of a "Super King" and can't imagine why it would be called that when it
is narrower and shorter than a regular king.
