Question 1

What size is a double bed?

Accepted Answer

Double beds are built to accommodate a standard double mattress, which is 4 foot 6 inches (135cm) wide and 6 foot 3 inches (190cm) long. This means if you’re looking to get a double bed you need to measure the footprint of the bed frame, not just the mattress size. All of our double bed frames have the specifications available online, so you can check these against your room measurements before purchase.

Question 2

Are double beds bigger than queen beds?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a double bed is bigger than a queen bed. Many people get double beds and queen beds confused but a "queen" is just another name for a small double bed. These are narrower than a double bed by 15cm (6 inches), which means they’re not a lot smaller but can be more convenient if you don't want a single bed but have a smaller bedroom.

Question 4

Types of double bed frames

Accepted Answer

1. Double storage beds

If you want to maximise your bed space but have a smaller bedroom, then a double bed frame with storage is a great option. With built-in storage options, you don’t have to worry about fitting in additional furniture for your things as well as your bed.

A double divan bed base is a classic option that many people are familiar with. Divan beds have drawers in the base, which can hold plenty of items and are a great choice for seasonal clothing, extra bedding, or shoes. With most divans you can choose between two drawers and four drawers, depending on how much storage you need. Just remember that you’ll need room around your bed to fully open the drawers.

Another popular choice is a double ottoman bed. An ottoman is the best choice if you want to get as much storage space as possible as the whole mattress lifts up, giving you the entire area of the bed frame to store items. Our ottoman double bed frames come in a range of materials and styles, and all have easy-to-lift mechanisms that mean using the storage space is quick and simple.

2. Double upholstered beds

Fabric or leather upholstered beds are more popular styles for a double bed frame. This is because they come in a range of materials and colours, from sleek neutrals like white and grey to statement blues, pinks, and greens, so your new bed can match your dream bedroom design. Upholstered double beds provide a comfortable and stable place to sleep while adding a touch of luxury to your bedroom.

Available in many designs and colours including velvet finish, fabric and leather, you can make a statement or go for a neutral aesthetic with a white double bed frame. You can even double up on style and storage, as some of our upholstered double beds come with an ottoman base.

3. Double wooden beds

For a classic look, a double wooden bed frame is a great simple and timeless choice. Our range includes a variety of colours from natural light and dark woods, fresh white wooden beds, and calming grey wooden beds, all of which can complement any bedroom colour and style. From traditional and cosy, to bright Scandi bedrooms, the bedroom design options are endless. Wooden bed frames are one of the most popular material choices because they are sturdy and durable, so they provide great support for your mattress as well as look good.

4. Metal double beds

One of the cheapest options is a double metal bed frame but these are a great choice as they look stylish and impressive for the price. Ornate metal beds are a fantastic way to make a statement in the bedroom, especially with a black metal double bed, or if you want to brighten the room – try white metal double bed frame. Built to last, metal beds are highly recommended to all.
