Is there an authority on mattress size naming standards to whom I may offer a suggestion? Having just read Julian by Gore Vidal, I learned that a few centuries after Caesar and Augustus, the title of Caesar ranked below that of Augustus (well played, Gaius Octavius). I suggest King->Caesar->Augustus.
However if we want to get into semantics, the word King descends from the word Caesar. Perhaps replace King with Minister, and Queen with Representative?
You beat me to it. Only fresh in my mind because of the Anglo-Saxon and Latin discussions also on the front page right now (I'd grabbed a couple books off the shelf and was trying to read them, I've forgotten a lot in 15 years and didn't make it far).
I'd much prefer 2x3 fora 2m by 3m bed. Poetic names confuses me: Why is a twin different than a double but the exact same thing as a single? Call them by their size, done.
You could flip a California King (7' long 6' wide) sideways and call it that lol. It would be shorter than a Twin or a Full Sized mattress by a few inches.
