Double Beds

Are you in the market for a new bed? Considering a double bed and frame? We've found answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about these popular beds.

A double-size bed has dimensions of 4'6" x 6'3" or 135 x 190cm. It's one of the most popular bed sizes in the UK and will usually fit into a main bedroom. We recommend using our measuring guide to ensure you have enough space for a double bed frame, particularly if a room is smaller! Our bed size guide explains all the available bed sizes to help you make the right choice.

Is a double bed a queen-sized bed?

No, a double bed is not the same size as a queen bed. Many assume this because a double bed is smaller than a king size bed. However, a queen-sized bed is a small double bed, which is 6 inches narrower than a double frame.

Is a double bed the same as two single beds?

No, a double bed isn't twice the size of a single. While both are 6'3" long, a double bed is 4'6" in width compared to a single, which is only 3'0" wide. So, while a double bed offers more space than a single, it isn't twice the size.

Yes, a double size bed is the perfect size for couples. It has enough space for two people to sleep comfortably, though it's important to note that it can be a snug fit if one of you likes to stretch out. If you have the space and money for it, then a king size or super king bed can be a great option to upgrade to, but most people will find that a bed double will meet their needs.
