Hmm. That's not a fair question, since there are many factors to consider. Herewith I begin a series where I compare and contrast simple things. If I keep it up, maybe I'll score it.
First up, a pun: What's BEDDER?
When it comes to beds, Europe invented IKEA, so point 1 for Europe.
However, it also invented pushing two twin sized mattresses together and calling it a double bed. Ta Da.
I don't think Queen or King are a thing here.
So when you, of couple-land, share a bed, there is a fault line down the middle. Same with the covers. It got so bad, after just one week, that I sewed two twin sized quilts together, and then sewed two duvet covers together. Europe must have a good reason though: couples like Irma and Brian, with Irma always too cold and Brian always too warm. But still. We like to share, so share we will.
Altogether, I give the US 3 points (1 each for mattress, sheets, and blankets) and EU 1 for standardizing beds that fold out of couches.
