Double Beds

It is no exaggeration to say your bed is often the most important piece of furniture in your home. Vital in providing you with a good night’s sleep, the right bed can have a very positive effect on your health and wellbeing. What’s more, a double bed can make for a fabulous centre piece in your bedroom, giving it that final finishing touch. A double bed can also provide you with the space you need and is especially good for couples.

Will a double bed fit in my bedroom?

Most importantly, you need to work out whether the intended room is big enough for a double bed. Remember this includes any furniture you’re planning on adding to your room, so it’s worth measuring up before any purchases. A double bed is typically 190cm (75 inches) long and 135cm (53 inches) wide. However, there are plenty of double beds that creep over those estimates. That’s because double beds may have a frame at the side, a headboard, or even a TV base. It is because of this we recommend comparing your room dimensions with your bed. If you do find a double bed to be too big, consider a small double. If you realise you have more space than you initially thought, why not go for full luxury and opt for a king size or super king size bed.
