FIT LAB / SIZE TOOL 03

Translate the label. Compare the rectangle.

Size Translator v1 resolves a named mattress-size convention in one market, then shows the same label and the dimensionally nearest current record in another market as separate answers. It does not claim a cross-market equivalent unless both normalized dimensions actually match.

4 audited standards2 markets · exact labels · transparent deltas

INTERACTIVE ENHANCEMENT

Compare a named size across the current markets

If the source name is ambiguous and you omit its market, the tool stops at ambiguous instead of guessing.

The live control is optional. The four static examples and full methodology below work without JavaScript.

THREE ANSWERS / THREE DIFFERENT QUESTIONS

Do not collapse names and dimensions.

01

Resolve the source

BEDU003 exact canonical-name/alias matching plus market context determines which nominal convention you actually mean.

02

Find the same label

The same word in the target market may describe a substantially different rectangle.

03

Find the nearest rectangle

Nearest is calculated only among the current target-market BEDU records. It is not automatically an equivalent.

STATIC / NO JAVASCRIPT REQUIRED

Where the label and the rectangle disagree

STATIC EXAMPLE

U.S. Queen → UK market

SOURCE

U.S. Queen

60 × 80 in

United States market · nominal sleep surface

SAME LABEL

UK Queen / Small Double

120 × 190 cm

Same label, different dimensions

Width -324 mm (−12.76 in magnitude) · length -132 mm (−5.2 in magnitude)

Not an exact dimensional equivalent.
NEAREST

UK King

150 × 200 cm

Dimensionally nearest current record

Width -24 mm (−0.94 in magnitude) · length -32 mm (−1.26 in magnitude)

Not an exact dimensional equivalent.

Here, the same-label answer and the dimensionally nearest answer are different records.

STATIC EXAMPLE

UK King → U.S. market

SOURCE

U.S. King

Width +430.4 mm (+16.94 in magnitude) · length +32 mm (+1.26 in magnitude)

Not an exact dimensional equivalent.
NEAREST

U.S. Queen

60 × 80 in

Dimensionally nearest current record

Width +24 mm (+0.94 in magnitude) · length +32 mm (+1.26 in magnitude)

Not an exact dimensional equivalent.

Here, the same-label answer and the dimensionally nearest answer are different records.

STATIC EXAMPLE

SOURCE

United States market · nominal sleep surface

SAME LABEL

Same label, different dimensions

Width -430.4 mm (−16.94 in magnitude) · length -32 mm (−1.26 in magnitude)

NEAREST

UK King

150 × 200 cm

Dimensionally nearest current record

Width -430.4 mm (−16.94 in magnitude) · length -32 mm (−1.26 in magnitude)

Not an exact dimensional equivalent.

Here, the same-label target is also the dimensionally nearest current record. That still does not make it exact.

STATIC EXAMPLE / SOURCE AMBIGUOUS

Queen without a source market

Resolver status: ambiguous. BEDU will not attach dimensions until the source market is supplied.

METHOD / EXPLICIT ON PURPOSE

How Size Translator decides

  1. Resolve the source name using exact canonical-name or alias matching. No substring matching.
  2. If the name resolves to multiple markets and no source market is supplied, return ambiguous.
  3. Resolve the original query label independently in the target market for the same-label answer.
  4. Normalize exact nominal width and length to millimeters for calculation while keeping source-unit values authoritative.
  5. Rank target-market records by total absolute width + length delta; tie-break by the larger dimension delta, then name.
  6. Call a result an exact dimensional equivalent only when both width and length match within 0.01 mm.

GENERATION C / SHARED CONTEXT

Fit Lab session boundaries

A portable, memory-only context layer that keeps explicit visitor inputs separate from derived tool outputs and never turns one tool's conclusion into another tool's evidence.

  • Memory-only by default
  • Derived results are not evidence
  • ICU owns account + Save

Deliberate handoffs

Size TranslatorRoom Fit Lab

Use the named-size identity as context only

May carry: resolved size-standard identity.

Never carries as evidence: nominal sleep-surface dimensions as furniture footprint; nearest-size conclusion as geometry.

Static/no-JS path: Open Room Fit with the size name as context, then choose or enter an explicit furniture footprint.
