Small Double Beds - 4ft & 3/4

A small double bed is versatile and suitable for children, teenagers or adults. Available in many styles and colours, 3/4 beds are an excellent option for all homes. To help make your buying decision easier, we've compiled answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about these beds.

A small double bed measures 4' x 6'3" or 120 x 190cm. It is sometimes called a 'three-quarter' size bed, a queen bed, or a 4ft bed frame. Make sure you have enough space in your bedroom with the helpful tips in our measuring guide.

The main difference between a double bed and a small double bed is the width. A small double bed frame measures 4ft x 6'3" (120 x 190cm), while a double bed measures 4'6" x 6'3" (136 x 190cm). This means a 4ft bed frame has a 6-inch (or 16cm) smaller width than a double bed.

A 4ft small double bed can accommodate two people if needed, but keep in mind that the sleeping space is six inches narrower than that of a double bed. So, whilst a 3/4 bed can hold two adults, there will be less space to stretch out than its larger counterpart.

Small double beds can be ideal for teenagers, as the extra space gives them all the room they need to stretch out as they sleep – especially important given all the growing their bodies are doing. Don't forget to ensure you get the right mattress for your teenager to complement their 3/4 bed.

If you have the space for one, then a small double bed can be the perfect choice for young children who want a 'grown-up' bed. All you need to do is make sure that you choose the right mattress for your child or teenager to give them the support they need.
