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 prefer more room or want extra comfort, consider upgrading to a king size bed.

What is the difference between a double bed and a queen?

A double bed and a queen are not the same size. In the UK, a queen typically refers to a small double bed, measuring 120cm x 190cm, which is narrower than a double bed frame. This size is ideal for single sleepers who want more space than a single while saving floor space in smaller rooms.
