A full size bed is also known as a double bed. The sheet measurements vary slightly between US and UK.  In the US a flat sheet for a full size bed would be 221cm x 259cm. A fâ¦itted sheet would be 137cm x 193cm x 20cm.  In the UK a flat sheet would be 220cm x 260cm and a fitted sheet would be 135cm x 190cm x 20cm.
A full-size bed is really only enough space for a single sleeper and at only 27 per person (the size of a crib), full mattresses are a tight fit for two. Plus, they're the same length as a twin, which can be too short for many. Parents are increasingly choosing full sizes over twin sizes for teenagers' bedrooms.
