OBS

Le terme «lit jumeau» n'est pas utilisé en tant que tel au singulier; il figure toujours au pluriel dans les sources françaises consultées qui le définissent comme étant l'ensemble de deux lits identiques (de même dimension et de même garniture) placés côte à côte parallèlement. Toutefois, lorsqu'on prend séparément un de ces lits identiques, on parle le plus souvent de «lit à une place», terme relevé dans le catalogue de Sears.

Key term(s)
  • lit une place
