Am I missing something here?

It's 150cm (5') wide which is the usual king size, 135cm (4'6") is a usual double, 3'(90cm) is a single.

Sounds like kingsize to me. I've just bought a double and it's 135 cm and some "doubles " in sleeping bags are narrower than that!

Looks fine to me!

After over 50 years of camping and using sleeping bags, we are changing to blankets. OK, they are merino wool ones and we only need one blanket per bed but with the weather the way it is and the nights being muggy and warm one night and bloomin' freezin' the next, only the merino blanket will cope with all these extremes.
