letti matrimoniali o ad una piazza e mezzo
Explanation:
double beds, or king size beds, are currently referred to as "letti matrimoniali" (or, not used much "a due piazze) while Queen Size is "a una piazza e mezzo". The ref. "measurement" in Italian is "piazza". Therefore a single bed would be "ad una piazza".

Explanation:
Solo per essere pignola:
double (or full) corrisponde piu' o meno ad una piazza e mezzo(54-75)
queen e' il letto matrimoniale(60-80)sempre piu' o meno
King (in Italia non l'ho mai visto)e'di dimensioni da"king"(76-80)ed il letto singolo e' chiamato single or twin.

letti matrimoniali o ad una piazza e mezzo


Explanation:
Sono d'accordo con il suggerimento di Elena. Ho avuto modo di "sperimentare" un letto Queen size sia negli USA che in Canada: è leggermente più piccolo del letto matrimoniale.
