Small Single Beds

What size is a small single bed?

Small single beds are our narrowest available frame, ideal for placing in rooms where space is very limited. At 2ft 6in wide, small single bed frames are a popular choice for small rooms and box rooms, as well as for older children and teens. A small single bed is a good choice for a university bedroom for example.

What are the benefits of a small single bed?

The main benefit of a small single bed is its compact size. A small single bed is perfect for smaller spaces such as studios where you want to make the most of the space you have available.

Small single beds are also great as guest beds. Click here to read tips on how to create a comfy guest bedroom. Because they take up less floor space, they aren’t obtrusive, and this gives your guests more room to manoeuvre around the bed while still providing a comfortable place to sleep. Folding small single beds are also perfect for guestrooms as when not in use you can just store them away to maximise your floor space.

Another great benefit to small single beds is that they’re ideal for older children. A small single bed is a size between a kids’ bed and a single bed, so perfect for making the transition a bit more manageable. Small single beds are also a great way to save space in kids’ rooms. Styles with underbed storage can be used for hiding away toys and books.

Are there different types of small single bed?
