What size is a double bed in metric?

Its annoying me at this statge, i live in a country (Éire / Ireland) where we're taught to ignore imperial messurments and use metric only but then i go looking to buy a double bed (standard in US?) its in imperial. so could anyone give me an idea of the size width and length of a double bed in metric meters?

1. the mattress size for the US Australia and the UK is imperial is 54'' x 75'' metric is 1.38 × 1.90 m (width × length) but in Europe the size is imperial is 55" × 79" metric is 1.4 × 2 m hope this helps thanks Mick http://www.192directory.co.uk
2. Its 135cm x 190cm The site below also has a comparison chart of the three main regions. The reason for the imperial measurements is because we are lamped in with the UK and they still use imperial far too much.
