Double Beds

What's the best double bed?

The best double bed is one that fits your bedroom, provides plenty of space to sleep comfortably and includes any other important features, such as storage or a statement headboard.

Types of double bed

• Double ottoman bed

With a base that lifts, this type of bed maximises the space under your bed, providing plenty of storage to keep your room tidy.

• Double fabric bed

An on-trend upholstered double bed frame, available in fabric and velvet, is perfect for making a statement. Our range is available in a wide range of colours to suit your space.

• Double wooden bed

For a classic and timeless look, a double wooden bed frame is the perfect choice. Keep it rustic with traditional wood or go for something more modern with a white wooden bed.

• Double metal bed

For something more contemporary, a double metal bed frame combines style and durability, while often taking up less space than a chunky wooden or upholstered bed.

What size is a double bed?

A double bed frame fits a mattress that measures 135cm wide and 190cm long. That's 4’6” wide and 6’3” long in imperial dimensions.

Divan beds are always the same dimensions as 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, a double bed will fit two adults – however, it will feel snug and cosy. This is because each person will only get 67cm of space widthways (2’3" each). That's narrower than a baby's cot bed mattress!

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 under 5’11” tall. 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.
