What size is a double bed?

A double bed fits a mattress that measures 135cm wide and 190cm long. That's 4 feet 6 inches wide and 6 feet 3 inches long in imperial dimensions. Divan beds are always the same dimensions of the mattress, whereas the actual width and length of a bed frame can vary depending on the style - you can find this information within the individual product details.

Is a double bed big enough for two?

Yes, it will fit two adults - however, it will feel snug and cosy. This is because each person will only get 67cm of space widthways (2 feet and 3 inches each). That's narrower than a baby's cot bed mattress!

Additionally, you should choose a bed that's at least 10cm longer than you are. For this reason, a double bed is only really suitable if you're 5 feet 11 inches tall or under. A king size bed is generally a better size for couples since it is both wider and longer - giving each person much more room to sleep comfortably.

Can I get a double bed and mattress?

Yes, you can buy a double bed and mattress as an all-in-one set. This is ideal if you need to replace your mattress at the same time as your bed, and ensures that you will get the very best comfort and support from your bed and mattress.

Are double beds expensive?

No, they're an affordable bed size. Whilst they range in price, you can buy a double bed for under £200. If you have a little more room in your budget, you can opt for a more luxurious option.
