Small Double Beds

How big is a small double bed?

Small double beds are bigger than a single bed but smaller than a double bed. They measure 4' x 6'3" (120cm x 190cm), whereas a single bed measures 3' x 6'3" (90 cm x 190 cm) and a double bed is 4'6" x 6'3" (135 cm x 190 cm).

If you are measuring up to see if a small double bed will fit in your bedroom, remember that some bed frame types may be larger than the size of a small double mattress. This tends to be most common with wooden, metal or upholstered bed frames which your mattress sits inside.

You can find the dimensions for each of our small double beds and bed frames on our product listings.

Can a small double bed fit two adults?

Two adults can fit in a small double bed but it will be very cosy! If you like your own space or want to stretch out, a double, king size or super king-size bed will be a better choice.

Is a small double better than a single bed?

It really depends on what you’re looking for! A small double bed is a better choice than a single bed if:

• You need a bed with more space.
• You need to accommodate two adults.
• You want a compact bed for a smaller room that you can still stretch out in.

However, a single bed may be better for you if:

• You have a small bedroom.
• You want to maximise floor space.
• You’re shopping for a child’s bedroom or occasional guest bedroom.
