Today, in language use I haven't noticed for far too long...

Does everyone in non-Australia seriously call them twin beds?

Twin? Really?

Single/double works so well. Twin/double is more... aren't they the same? It sounds weird.

I'm rather confused.

Speaking as a UK person, I refer to the items of furniture as "single beds". "Twin beds" is a phrase, used mostly in a hotel context, to refer to two separate single beds in the same room.

That's what I'd say, yes.
