English term or phrase: twin + queen + king
这是三种尺寸的床
twin: 1.20米 x 2.03米
queen: 1.50米 x 2.03米
king: 1.83米 x 2.03米

我们这里的家具店,有的直接标注尺寸,有的直接采用 king size, queen size。有没有标准的中文说法?

对床 + 双人床 +加宽双人床
Explanation:
单人床
1 single bed in a single room
对床(双床)
2 twin beds in a twin room
双人床
1 double bed in double room
普通双人床 full bed/queen bed
加宽双人床 king bed

full bed/queen bed 差别不大, 各国的床尺寸都不一致。 详见下文:

FULL OR QUEEN ADD $20.00, KING SIZE ADD $30.00

A full bed is regular double bed. A Queen bed is a big one and longer for foreigners who are very tall. And king-size bed is the same as two single's put together.

twin bed 是对床(双床)中一个,也可以考虑译成‘单床’
twin beds 才是一对床
