Double bed frames

About double bed frames

A double bed frame gives solo sleepers plenty of room to spread out, without taking over the room. It's a practical pick for smaller master bedrooms, guest rooms, teens upgrading from a single, and anyone who wants more space than a single bed offers. It's available in wooden, upholstered, metal and storage styles.

The perfect balance of space and comfort

Whether you're upgrading a teen's room, styling a guest bedroom, or making the most of a compact master bedroom, a double bed gives you extra width without overwhelming your space.

Designed for solo adults, growing teens and occasional couples, double beds offer versatility, comfort and style. With plenty of options, from minimalist wooden frames to double beds with storage, finding the right fit for your room and your lifestyle has never been easier.

How big is a double bed frame?

Size matters when choosing the perfect bed frame. A double size bed measures 1380mm wide x 1880mm long, making it much wider than a single (920mm x 1880mm). That extra width makes all the difference for solo sleepers who like to sprawl, or anyone wanting a roomier upgrade.

Taller sleepers, take note: a double is the same length as a single. If you need extra legroom, consider a king single or a queen, which are both 2030mm long.

Will it fit? Finding the perfect spot for your double

Double beds work well in smaller bedrooms, but it's worth checking your space before committing. Here's what you need to know:

• Room size: A room of at least 3m x 3.2m allows space for your bed, bedside tables and easy movement.
• Need storage? If you're adding a double bed with storage, leave extra clearance for drawers or a gas lift base to open easily.
• Compact room? Slimline frames or smart storage options help you make the most of every centimetre.

Style your space: Double bed frame designs

A double size bed isn't just about sleep. It sets the tone for the whole room. Whether you love clean Scandi-style simplicity, classic timber or modern luxury, here's how to match your bed frame to your style:

Wooden bed frames: Timeless, sturdy and effortlessly stylish, wooden bed frames bring warmth to any space. Choose from natural oak, deep walnut or crisp white finishes to complement your décor.

Upholstered bed frames: For a soft, luxurious feel, an upholstered double bed frame is the way to go. Think plush fabrics, tufted headboards and a cosy, inviting vibe that adds comfort and elegance.

Metal bed frames: Love a modern industrial look? A metal double bed frame delivers sleek lines and a minimalist edge, ideal for contemporary spaces.

Double bed with storage: Short on space? A double bed with storage gives you room to hide away clutter, spare bedding or seasonal clothes. Choose from built-in drawers or a gas lift frame for ultimate convenience.
