Which is bigger
EU King is the larger by 12.5% in area. EU King is 20 cm wider, and both are 200 cm long.
Which one to buy
Same length, 20 cm apart in width — 10 cm per sleeper. Nobody gets to stretch out further; the whole difference is elbow room, which matters if two people share it and not at all if one does.
Does the same bedding fit both?
No. 20 cm of width is far outside what a fitted sheet absorbs. Buy for the size you own and read the centimetres, not the label.
Space per person
Shared between two adults, EU Queen gives each sleeper 80 cm and EU King gives 90 cm. For comparison, a single bed is 90 cm wide, so anything under that is less room each than a single bed gives one person.
Room each one needs
With 60 cm to walk down each side and 60 cm at the foot: 280 × 260 cm for EU Queen, 300 × 260 cm for EU King — a difference of 20 cm in the room, not just the bed. Against a wall on one side, take 60 cm off.
