Double Beds

Double beds can make for a fabulous centre piece in your bedroom, giving it that final finishing touch. Great for those who want some extra space to stretch at night, double bed frames give you the space you need without dominating your bedroom.

Why choose a double bed?

Compared to a single bed, double beds give solo sleepers enough room to spread out and sleep comfortably at night, and for couples, a double bed frame is large enough to comfortably fit two people, without splurging on an expensive bed or sacrificing space. At 4ft 6in wide all our double beds offer incredible comfort and space; enabling you both to get the best sleep possible.

Understanding that these beds often occupy a large amount of your bedroom and floor space, it’s important that you get the right sized double bed frame for you and your home. That’s why we offer a wide selection in a variety of materials and construction designs. This choice includes regular double beds which measure 137cm in width and also small double beds measuring 122cm wide, which are ideal for smaller sized rooms.

Our selection of double beds includes every style, from solid wooden frames that’ll add traditional elegance to your home, to the very latest TV and tech beds that effortlessly match more contemporary styles. We offer choice across every aspect of your bed, including comfort grade, colour, spring count, finish and brand.

What are the most popular double beds?

Double beds have always been incredibly popular and will continue to be so. They offer a middle ground size and a nice approach for both sleeping space and floor space, maximising your room while ensuring you get the best night’s sleep. However, there are plenty of styles of double beds you may not even know exist. Take a look at our quick guide to the most popular types of double bed frames below.

1. Storage beds

Our storage double beds are one of the most popular choices available, this is because they not only offer enough space to sleep comfortably, but also offer great extra storage options for your bedroom. Our double bed frames with storage come in divan bases where you have drawers on the side of the bed, or ottomans where you can easily lift your double bed mattress to access underbed storage. These double beds are perfect for those with smaller rooms and can suite a wide range of interiors. For more, check out the Storage Beds Buying Guide.

2. Upholstered beds

Fabric or leather upholstered beds are another popular choice for a double bed. This is because they come in a range of choices and can fit any interior style, so having a double bed frame means that you don’t have to cut back on style. Upholstered double beds provide a comfortable and stable place to sleep while adding a touch of luxury to your bedroom.

Available in a wide range of styles and colours including velvet finish fabric and leather, you can make a statement or have a neutral bed frame to suit your décor, such as a white double bed frame. You can even double up on style and storage, as some of our upholstered double beds come with ottoman storage.

How to fit a double bed in a small bedroom

Although a double bed is the perfect middle ground size, and will fit most bedrooms, those with smaller rooms might think that upgrading from a single will compromise on space. Before purchasing a double bed frame, it’s worth measuring up in order to bring you peace of mind.

A double bed is typically 190cm (75 inches) long and 135cm (53 inches) wide. However, some of these beds creep over those estimates. That’s because they may have a frame at the side, a headboard, or even a TV base. Because of this we recommend comparing your room dimensions with your bed. Check out our bed and mattress size guide for more information.

If you have a smaller room, to ensure your double bed fits, you’ll need to work out a pathway for you to walk comfortably around the room. Our double beds with storage would be a perfect fit for those short on space, as these can help to maximise the space around the room. Choosing an ottoman double bed or under-bed storage boxes means you can opt out of a wardrobe, or an additional set of drawers. For more on space saving, check out the Space Saving Beds Buying Guide.

If you do find your double bed to be too big, but still want to upgrade from a single, consider a small double bed instead. If you realise you have more space than you initially thought, and want to take a step up, why not go for full luxury and opt for a king size or super king size bed?

Are double beds good on a budget?

Double beds are also middle ground for price. Double beds are great for those on a budget, and for those who aren’t looking to splurge on a double bed for a spare room. We offer great affordable and cheap double bed frames, but don’t worry, just because these double beds are on the lower end of the price scale, they don’t compromise on quality. Metal and wooden double bed frames are a great choice, as are divan bases. Starting from around £199, you can find cheap double bed frames that’ll look great and last a long time.

However, because these double beds are great for budgets, don’t think that this means you’re losing out on style. Not all wooden and metal double beds are simple and functional, there are plenty that are incredibly luxurious too. Featuring ornate headboards, great storage systems and beautiful finishing details, there’s scope for making one of these double beds a fabulous centre piece. White double beds are extremely popular as well, providing a neutral backdrop that allows your bedding to take centre stage. For more inspiration, check out these 5 types of statement bed frames.
