Which one to buy
Same length, 50 cm apart in width — 25 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. 50 cm of width is far outside what a fitted sheet absorbs. Buy for the size you own and read the centimetres, not the label.
Room each one needs
With 60 cm to walk down each side and 60 cm at the foot: 210 × 260 cm for EU Single, 260 × 260 cm for EU Double — a difference of 50 cm in the room, not just the bed. Against a wall on one side, take 60 cm off.
