Buying a Euro-sized double bed?

Where can you buy a European-sized double bed these days? I could really do with the extra 10cm of length, but struggling to find anywhere that does them. Even IKEA seems to only sell the shorter UK size beds now.

    IKEA does the NORDLI which is what I have and is great as it has 6 drawers so no wasted space under the bed. They do a 140x200 one but it is pricey at £399.

    I’m currently thinking of changing my euro double to a king as it’s proving tricky to buy a new mattress now with limited options. Shame because euro sizes are so much better.

    Very helpful, thanks.

    It just seems there's no demand for the Euro bed sizes. Really surprising, based on my rough calculations I reckon a UK-sized double bed is too short for perhaps 40% of men.

    Why not just get a UK King?

    I suppose that's the obvious answer, although I didn't really want a bed that's 10cm wider as well. Rooms are only so big. (edited)
