In short
A US Queen is typically about 152 × 203 cm; a UK King is typically 150 × 200 cm. They are close in width but the US Queen is longer. Sheets, protectors and frames are not reliably interchangeable — measure centimetres before cross-border pairing.
Size-name collisions between US and UK retail cause most import fit errors. See the full US sizes table for Twin through California King.
