Single Beds

Do you need to maximise space in your bedroom? Are you looking to convert a home‐ study into a guestroom? Whatever your needs or décor plans, a single bed can offer a variety of benefits. At Dreams, we have a wide range of single beds, meaning you can find the perfect style, the perfect space saver, or the perfect bed to get a relaxing night’s sleep. To start with, you’ll want to make sure your new single bed fits the space it’s intended for.

What is the size of a single bed?

A single bed, which is sometimes referred to as a twin bed, is 3 feet wide (91cm) and 6 feet 3 inches long (190cm). Single sized beds work well in many bedrooms, especially for guest rooms and children’s rooms. If your bedroom is very narrow, you may want to consider a small single bed instead as these are 16cm less wide than a standard single.

What is the best mattress for a single bed?

Once you have decided on a bed frame, the next thing to consider is the mattress. We have many single mattresses available which vary in texture, firmness, and cost. To read more about our collection, head over to our single mattresses information section which is located underneath our product listings.

What types of single bed are available?

Our single beds are some of the most popular around. They come in a range of styles and designs, ready to suit your requirements and match perfectly with your planned or current décor. Check out our quick guide below for what to expect from the different types of single beds we have on offer.

Single beds with storage

Ottoman – It’s a common misconception that Ottoman beds are only available from size double and up. When people opt for an Ottoman single, it’s usually because their room isn’t big enough for a double or they want to maximise their storage space. This makes an Ottoman bed a great solution. With the easy‐lift mattress and lid, you get an incredible amount of storage in a space that would otherwise be wasted.

Divan – With similar benefits to an Ottoman, a single Divan base can make the difference when you’re trying to maximise space. Featuring drawers as part of the design, you can keep your room clutter‐free. These drawers are often used for extra bedding, clothes or shoes. Divan bases give you real versatility when it comes to organising your bedroom.

Single beds to suit your interior

Fabric – Fabric, faux leather and upholstered single beds are great for adding a little texture and luxury to your bedroom. Our neutral colour range of bed frames ensure your bed will fit well in any room, even if you go through a couple of style changes in years to come. We also offer Divan and Ottoman single bases that are upholstered, granting you storage and style all‐in‐one!

Metal – Our sleek metal single bed frames will suit a variety of bedroom styles – whether traditional, ornate, or modern. If you want a metal bed frame that makes a statement, consider one with moulded details on the headboard or finials on the bedposts. For something a little more clean‐cut, check our simple metal single bed frame designs in chrome or black. Metal bed frames work well with a range of styles, meaning you aren’t constricted by your bed choice when it comes to redecorating.

Wooden – Warm, snug and giving off a French‐chateau vibe, classic wooden single bed frames can be great for giving your bedroom a relaxing ambience. If this is what you’re seeking, we recommend a natural wood colour. However, if you want that extra touch of elegance, consider a painted wooden design such as our single white bed frames.

Colour – Whether you are searching for a black single bed, a white single bed, or even something more adventurous like pink or mint, we have a wide range for you to choose from, all guaranteed to suit your interior.

Other types of single beds

Adjustable beds – Adjustable single beds ensure ease when getting into and out of a bed. They also host a whole range of settings allowing you to find the perfect and comfortable sleeping position. Our whole collection of adjustable bed frames come with a complementing mattress.

Day beds – Day beds are designed with practicality in mind. Not only do they serve as a comfortable place to sleep, but they also provide a couch style seating area. These single beds work well in smaller sized bedrooms and guest rooms. They’re even great for living rooms as they are a cross between a chaise longue and a bed.

Folding beds and guest beds – If you’re looking for a temporary bed, a folding bed is a great option. Not only do they offer incredible levels of comfort, but they’re also easy to set up and can be hidden away when not in use. Folding beds are great for guests as they are stress‐free and ideal for regular use.

Whatever type you need; you’ll find it at Dreams. We offer great benefits in terms of guarantees and returns policies, so you can rest assured knowing you’re in good hands.
