Double Beds & Double Bed Frames

Double beds for comfort and everyday sleep

Double beds offer a comfortable balance of space and practicality, making them a popular choice for couples or individuals who enjoy extra room to stretch out. Measuring approximately 137cm wide x 190cm long, a double bed fits comfortably in many bedrooms while still leaving space for other furniture.

If you’re furnishing a guest room, upgrading a smaller bedroom, or creating a cosy main bedroom setup, a well-designed double bed can act as the centrepiece of your sleep space. Complete your setup with a supportive double mattress and comfortable bedding such as soft double bed sheets.

Double bed styles, materials, and bedroom planning

Double bed frames are available in a wide range of styles to suit different interiors. Upholstered beds offer a soft and inviting look, while timber frames bring visual warmth and natural character to the room. Metal bed frames can introduce a modern or industrial feel, and storage designs with drawers or lift-up bases help maximise organisation in smaller bedrooms.

When planning your layout, allow enough space around the bed for comfortable movement and bedside furniture. You can enhance the look of your bed with a matching double bedhead and add extra comfort with supportive double mattress toppers and underlays for a restful night’s sleep.
