There’s nothing more annoying than measuring up your room and finding the perfect alcove for a double bed is just slightly too small. Well, there’s no need to worry. Dreams have a wide range of small double beds and queen size beds which are just a little smaller than the traditional double. They’re also great for rooms where you want to maximise floor space and are often popular with those who sleep alone but prefer more space than a single.

What is the size of a small double bed?

A small double bed is 4 feet wide and 6 feet 3 inches long. This is equal to 120cm wide and 190cm long. If your room is too small to fit a double, a small double will be the perfect size. They’re also a great size for those who sleep alone but want more space than a single provides.

As mentioned, this makes small double beds great for single sleepers who need a little extra sleep space compared to a traditional single bed. They’re also great for couples, especially those with a bedroom where space is at a premium. Despite not losing out on much sleep space compared to a standard double, a small double bed can really make the difference for smaller bedrooms.

Able to fit into tighter spaces, providing more floor space, and allowing for extra furniture, queen sized beds can help maximise your bedroom’s potential. What’s more, you don’t have to lose out on style either! There are plenty of options for high‐end, luxury small double beds, as well as those which include storage. There are even small double adjustable bed, perfect for providing those with health problems or a disability, a decent amount of space in which to sleep.

What are the best types of small double bed?

Small double beds are incredibly popular for those who do need to save a little space. And while this may suggest that you have to substitute style for size, you really don’t. There are plenty of options, including:

Small Double Wooden Beds

For a truly French chateau vibe, consider a small double wooden bed. These can create a truly warm and relaxing ambiance. What’s more, because of the cost of materials, they come at very reasonable prices. If you fancy something a little more elegant but still want to save on price, consider a white painted queen sized bed frame, which can add a touch of class to your room.

Small Double Divan Bases

If you’re choosing a small double, you’re likely looking to save as much space as possible without losing too much luxury. That makes a queen sized divan base an incredible option as they have drawers installed as part of the design. This means you can store extra clothing, linen and whatever you like, out of sight. This keeps your room totally clutter free. Opt for a 2‐drawer divan if you’re planning on placing your bed beside a wall. If not, and your small double bed is intended for the centre of your room, choose the 4‐drawer option and get maximum space‐saving!

Small Double Ottomans

Similar to a divan base, a small double ottoman bed has plenty of space saving features. With spring technology to make lifting the mattress incredibly easy, you can access a vast amount of storage.

Fabric Upholstered Small Double Bed

For the ultimate in luxury, consider a leather upholstered bed frame. These can make for a fabulous bedroom centre‐piece, suggesting sophistication and class. Often coming with a headboard and footboard as part of the design, they provide a consistent and glamorous aesthetic.

Small Double Adjustable

Finally, a small double adjustable bed is a great option for those with any health problems. They’re just as high‐quality as standard double adjustables, just take up less space. They can be a great option for those who need an adjustable bed in their own home, as well as for those who frequently have guests to visit with health issues.
