How it's used
Refers specifically to a bed larger than a standard single bed, typically accommodating two people. It is commonly used in casual conversation when discussing furniture shopping or room layout. Unlike formal descriptions, it focuses on the physical size rather than specific mattress dimensions.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with double beds in a hotel context, as hotel room types often use specific terms like 雙人牀. Using 大牀 to describe a hotel room might sound slightly imprecise to staff.
