Double bed frames

Timber, upholstered, storage and sofa bed styles, all in double size — a solid middle-ground pick if you want a bit more room than a single without going bigger.

About double bed frames

A double bed frame is the practical middle ground, more room than a single without the footprint of a queen. Perfect for guest rooms, teens' rooms or solo sleepers who like a little extra space, in timber, upholstered, storage and sofa bed styles.

Double bed frame dimensions

Compact yet spacious enough for solo sleepers or cosy couples, a double size bed is a versatile choice.

  • Dimensions: 1380mm wide x 1880mm long

  • Best for: Solo sleepers, teenagers, guest rooms, and smaller master bedrooms

  • Space-friendly: Generous enough to relax in, yet compact enough to fit in most bedrooms

If you're deciding between sizes, check out our bed size guide to compare your options.

Fitting a double bed frame in your room

Before choosing your bed frame, consider how it will fit in your space:

  • Ideal room size: We recommend at least 3m x 3m for comfortable movement and bedside tables.

  • Maximise your layout: Opt for a frame with built-in storage, whether drawers or a gas lift base, to keep clutter at bay.

  • Design tip: A slimline frame or minimalist headboard helps create a more open, airy feel in smaller rooms.

  • Perfect fit: Pair your double bed frame with a double mattress for the ultimate combination of comfort and support.

Find your perfect double bed frame

A great bed frame does more than just support your mattress, it sets the tone for your entire bedroom, with styles to suit any bedroom.

Timeless Timber Elegance: A wooden frame brings warmth and character to any bedroom. From rich walnut and classic oak to contemporary painted finishes, timber beds offer durability and a timeless aesthetic.

Upholstered for Luxury: For those who love a softer, more refined look, an upholstered frame delivers comfort and sophistication. Padded headboards with tufted, velvet, or linen finishes add a touch of luxury while also making late-night reading more comfortable.

Clever Storage Solutions: A double bed frame with storage or a gas-lift double bed frame is a smart way to stash away bedding, seasonal clothes, or shoes while keeping your room looking neat and tidy.

Affordable & Stylish Options: There are plenty of affordable double beds that combine quality, durability, and great design without stretching your wallet.
