Double Beds

How big is a double bed frame?

A double bed is one of the most popular choices for people in the UK. With 4 feet 6 inches (135cm) in width and 6 feet 3 inches (190cm) in length, they are ideal for couples or solo sleepers wanting extra room while they sleep.

You’ll find that a double bed is 1 foot 6 inches wider than a single bed. Choosing the right size bed for you and your home is extremely important. Before purchasing, double-check that the space you intend to house a bed frame will fit your desired frame. If you are struggling to fit in a double bed, consider a small double bed that is 6 inches (15cm) narrower than a double bed, making them ideal for bedrooms where space is at a premium.

Can 2 adults sleep in a double bed?

Yes, two adults can sleep in a double bed. A double bed, also known as a full-size bed, measures approximately 54 inches wide and 75 inches long, which provides ample space for two people to sleep comfortably. However, it's important to note that personal comfort preferences and sleeping habits may vary and a larger bed such as a king size may be a better option for some couples. Additionally, the thickness and comfort of the mattress can also impact the overall sleeping experience for two adults in a double bed.
