Bed question!

I've just measured our mattress, bought here in Wellington 3 months ago and it is the same size ( 60x 80 ), sold as a queen to fit a queen sleighbed.

Hope this helps

And Dutch bed sizes are different than NZ or UK....
I'm stocking up on bed linen too.....

Can anyone confirm that NZ and North American bed sizes are the same?

Queen size definitely matches pretty closely, my sheets fit perfectly -- Bring your bed linens, a quick survey of the home stores here revealed an overabundance of low-thread-count poly/cotton sheets.

I suppose there are nice 100% cotton linens available somewhere, but not for the low, low price I like

Not advertising in any way, but as the NZ houses are notoriously cold and damp, I am bringing my double feather mattress pad bought from QVC. Not cheap, but OMG, so toasty, you don't want to get out of bed!! They are fantastic and I can't recommend them enough.
