Small Double Beds

What size is a small double bed?

Small double beds are 4 feet wide and 6 feet 3 inches long (equal to 120cm wide and 190cm long) making them 6 inches shorter in width than a regular double bed. If your room is too small to fit a double, a 4ft small double bed frame may be the perfect next size down.

A step up in size from a single bed, a small double offers 1 foot of additional width, bringing a practical and comfortable finish to smaller rooms. Providing more space for a solo sleeper to stretch out, the larger sleeping area of a small double bed compared to a single offers a superior space-saving practicality without compromising on comfort.

High quality and great value, queen beds provide a practical and comfortable sleeping area where space is at a premium. As well as maintaining a wide sleeping space, the space-saving features of a small double bed frame can really make the difference for smaller bedrooms.

Why choose a small double bed?

A 4ft small double bed frame is the perfect compromise between value and space. These beds offer additional space for a solo sleeper, but don’t take up as much room as a double bed, and so are lower in price.

This makes queen beds perfect for a single sleeper that wants more room as they sleep but are limited by a smaller bedroom. A small double bed can also be a great option for guest bedrooms, where you don’t want a bed that is only occasionally used to take up too much space. If you have a multi-purpose room, a small double bed frame is a great option as the size of the bed won’t take up too much space and dominate the room.

Small double beds with storage

For optimum space-saving benefits, choose a small double with storage. These beds allow you to store items under your bed, decluttering and freeing up floor space. You’ll also not need as much bedroom furniture. When it comes to choosing a bed with storage in queen size, there are a couple of options available:

Small double divan beds - A small double divan bed is an incredible option if you’re looking to save as much space as possible while maintaining style and luxury. A small double bed with drawers, divans offer plenty of storage for the size of the bed. This means you can store extra clothing, bed linen and whatever you like, with storage functionalities to make the most out of your floor space, keeping your room clutter-free. Opt for a 2‐drawer divan if you’re planning on placing your bed against a wall. If not, and your small double bed is intended for the centre of your room, choose the 4‐drawer option to save on space as much as possible and allow room to open all 4 drawers fully.

Small double Ottoman beds - A small double ottoman bed is another 4ft bed with plenty of space-saving features. With hydraulic technology to make lifting the base incredibly easy, you can access a vast amount of storage. The plentiful underbed compartment offered by an ottoman can reduce clutter and help to create a more spacious feel in your room.
