one-and-a-half (bed) Explanation: The “one-and-a-half” bed. Also sometimes referred to as a “French bed”. In Italian, this is called a “piazza e mezza”. It’s what the French call a “grand lit”. It’s about 48 inches wide. It’s going the way of the dodo, but it’s still common enough to comment on. Some old-fashioned Italian owners consider this to be a suitable sleeping surface for 2 persons. We don’t, no matter how much in love we are at any particular moment. This is a bed we encourage all of our owners to avoid. But sometimes it’s there already. In this case, we describe it as a single bed. In fact, it’s great as a single bed. http://www.vbella.com/essays/bed.asp http://www.google.de/search?hl=de&client=firefox-a&channel=s... |

peer agreement (net): +3full (примерно, точного эквивалента нет, см. ниже) Explanation: Стандартные ширины матрасов в США в переводе в сантиметры: twin = 39" = 99 см full = 54" = 137 см queen = 60" = 153 см king = 76" = 198 см В Европе обычно просто указываются размеры в сантиметрах. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 mins (2009-01-27 10:54:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- впрочем, могут и twin назвать полуторным. если я правильно помню, типичный российский полуторный матрас чуть шире метра. |
