In the US, we obviously have twin, full, queen and king sizes for beds and sheets. Well, the UK use the terms single, double, king, and king extra or king plus. And they are not interchangeable in size to the US, just slightly off. And you can find fitted sheets (the kind with the elastic that fit around the mattress), but they don’t sell flat sheets. You just get a light-weight duvet/comforter, put a duvet cover on it, and that’s what is on top. No single sheet in between, although you might put another coverlet on top of the duvet, but usually not. (It is different in the US-based chain hotels, where they use the flat sheets.)
Having traveled previously, especially in Austria several years ago, it is the same. I remember being in the bed&breakfast, pulling back the comforter and then trying to pull back the next sheet, which was actually the fitted sheet and it came off. Not bad, just different.
