BTW, sorry for all the typos.

Agree - I have not slept in a twin bed since I was 8 years old. Always had a double and now we have a king - DH is 6'3" and I'm not petite.

And even on my own I want at least a double bed - not being a child. Why suffer on vacation when there are other options available?

OK--whatever. GEEZE. We got you.

Others of us can really sleep in a single bed.

Isn't a twin basically half a king? Good grief.

Twins can be quite narrow and short Europe, it just depends. I've slept on some twins I would describe as junior beds.

In recent years I've seen more rental and hotel adverts that say they have kings that can be configured to twins. Usually these are what Europeans describe as American Kings. Regular king beds sold in Europe are just a few cms larger than an American queen.

Gretchen, I'm happy for you that you can make do and are such a good trooper, no need to be so snippy about it. Why should others make a compromise they don't want without at least exploring options? And why is your POV superior to mine or nytraveler's?

One thing Dutch beds generally aren't is short, or narrow. Don't forget the Dutch are the tallest nation. A normal single bed here is 90cm wide and 210cm long, sometimes 220cm long, occasionally 200cm.
A normal double is 180cm wide - wider than a US Queen, in fact nearly as wide as a King, and longer too, though you do find small doubles at 160 wide, which is still more than Queen size.
