Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about Beds
What are the standard UK bed sizes and dimensions?
UK bed sizes follow specific measurements that differ from other countries. A single bed measures 90x190cm (3ft x 6ft 3), perfect for children's rooms and guest bedrooms. Double beds are 135x190cm (4ft 6 x 6ft 3), giving couples a cosy sleeping space. King size beds measure 150x200cm (5ft x 6ft 6), offering more length and width for comfortable sharing. Super king beds are the largest at 180x200cm (6ft x 6ft 6), ideal for those who love plenty of space to stretch out.
How do I measure my room to choose the right bed size?
Start by measuring your room's length and width, then subtract space needed for other furniture and walking areas. You'll need at least 60cm on the sides where you get in and out of bed, and about 90cm at the foot for comfortable movement. Don't forget to account for bedside tables - they typically need 40-50cm of space on each side. Also measure doorways, stairs, and any tight corners the bed frame will need to navigate during delivery.
What's the difference between a UK king size and super king size bed?
A UK king size bed (150x200cm) gives you an extra 15cm width compared to a double, which makes a real difference for couples - no more fighting over space! Super king beds (180x200cm) are 30cm wider again, offering luxury hotel-style sleeping space. Both are 10cm longer than doubles too, so taller sleepers get proper foot room. Super kings work best in larger bedrooms as they need more surrounding space to look proportional.
Will a small double bed fit in a compact bedroom?
Small double beds (120x190cm or 4ft x 6ft 3) are brilliant for smaller bedrooms where a full double feels too cramped but a single isn't quite enough. They're 15cm narrower than standard doubles, which can make a big difference in tight spaces whilst still giving couples reasonable sleeping room. They're particularly popular for teenagers' bedrooms, studio flats, or guest rooms where space is at a premium.
Do I need to buy a specific mattress size for each bed frame?
Yes, mattresses need to match your bed frame size exactly for proper support and appearance. A 135x190cm double bed frame needs a double mattress of the same dimensions - using a smaller mattress leaves gaps, whilst a larger one won't fit or will overhang awkwardly. UK standard sizes are designed to work together perfectly, so stick to the same size category and you'll get the best fit and support.
What is the delivery time for beds and mattresses?
We delivery beds and bed frames typically within 3-5 workings days from order. To UK mainland, for free.
What bed size is best for couples?
It depends on your space, budget, and sleeping habits. A double bed (135x190cm) works for couples who don't mind sleeping closer together or have limited bedroom space. King size beds (150x200cm) are the sweet spot for most couples - enough space to sleep comfortably without taking over smaller bedrooms. Super king beds (180x200cm) are perfect if you've got the space and want that luxury hotel feel with minimal sleep disturbance.
How do bed frame dimensions compare to mattress sizes?
Bed frames are designed to accommodate standard UK mattress sizes with a small allowance for bedding. The internal dimensions of the frame match the mattress size, whilst the external dimensions are slightly larger to account for the frame structure. For example, a double bed frame might measure 145x199cm externally to house a 135x190cm mattress. Always check both measurements when planning your room layout - it's the external dimensions that determine how much floor space you'll need.
