What size is a small single bed frame?

Small single beds are the smallest available frame for adults. They’re 2 ft 6 inches wide (75cm) wide and 6ft 3 inches (190cm) long. This is 15cm or 6 inches narrower than single beds, making them a great option for extra small rooms. They’re also called twin beds, often bought in pairs for guest rooms. We also stock a wide range of small single mattresses, from pocket spring to memory foam, so there is no compromise on comfort.

Types of small single beds

Small single beds with storage If space is limited, make the most of it with a twin bed frame that has in-built storage. We have small single divan bases, which come with drawers in the frame itself. The small single divan comes with two storage options: two separate drawers or one slide compartment. The latter has a sliding door across one side of the bed, so you can access the entire space and use it however you like. Small single guest beds We love to have family and friends to stay over but sometimes we don’t have quite enough space. That's where our 2 ft 6 twin beds come in. They’re typically multifunctional or can be stored away, like our small single fold-out beds. Tuck away into storage until you have someone come to stay and then pop it up in the living room or spare bedroom stress-free!

Are small single beds big enough for adults?

Yes- at 6 foot, 3 inches long (190cm), a small single is long enough to fit an adult. They are 25cm narrower than a single bed, at 2 feet, 6 inches wide (75cm), which still gives an adult enough space to settle comfortably for the night.

Saving space with a small single

The average size of a box room in a 3-bedroom home in the UK is between 6ft x 6ft and 8ft x 8ft. With a small single bed, you will gain plenty of the extra space to make the most of your room. You will be able to open doors fully and even add extra furniture such as wardrobes or even a desk for studying or working from home.

Our small singles are designed to save space in your home. Our range of small singles includes beds with divan bases which include drawers to store clothes, shoes, or any clutter you have, to keep your small room tidy.

Who are small single beds for?

These beds are designed for those who don't need a huge amount of space to have a comfortable night's sleep. They make for an affordable option, especially for those who prefer to gain more floor space over sleeping space.

A small single bed frame is an ideal option for a guest bedroom. If you have a spare room in the house but don't want to take up all the space with a bed, then a small single bed frame can offer the option to fill the room with other furniture or storage.

Children can also enjoy the extra space a small single will offer them, giving them more room to play with toys and even fit in a desk for gaming or doing homework.
