Double Beds

What are the dimensions of a standard double bed?

A standard double bed base measures 135cm x 190cm (that’s 4’6” x 6’3”). It’s a classic choice that fits well in most bedrooms without taking up the entire space. It's perfect for anyone who loves a little wiggle room but doesn’t want to sacrifice space.

Are double beds a good size for couples?

Absolutely—they’re a cosy option for couples! A double bed gives each person about 67.5cm of space to call their own. If you’re both snugglers, this size is ideal. If you’re more of the “stay on your side” type or have a pet or child who insist on joining you, you might want to consider upgrading to a king size bed.

What types of double bed frames are available?
