Typically, small double beds are also commonly referred to as queen size beds throughout the UK. This means there are minimal if any differences between a smaller double and a queen-size bed. Any mattress that is designed for a queen will fit a smaller double and vice versa!

Frames should always be considered when it comes to measurements as you will want to make sure you have enough room for the usual selection of mattresses. The most common measurement for a smaller double is 1.2m (120cm) x 1.9m (190cm) – However, this can alter depending on the type.

Always double check measurement before the delivery as you don’t want to splash out on a brand new memory foam mattress only to realise it’s too large for your new bed!

There are two main types of material that you will find used in most beds, wooden and upholstered. Beds that require self-assembly will usually be constructed using wood, so you can easily attach each piece together without needing the help of on-site assembly services.
Wooden beds offer a traditional style to your bedroom, adding that classical touch to compliment an older style of décor.

Upholstered designs are most commonly found in Ottoman and Divan style beds where they place a large focus on a soft headboard. Easily the eye-catcher of any bedroom, an upholstered style will provide a luxurious aesthetic.

Where possible, we would recommend a combination of the two as this will provide a high comfort rating alongside a sturdy construction.

There is a wide range of different bed styles that are smaller than your standard double. The most popular choice however is the queen size or the single type.

Both come in a range of different styles, so be sure to check out the advantages of each to make the most informed decision.

Smaller single beds are ideal if you live in a studio or your bedrooms have limited space, so you need to find the right piece of furniture that can fit. There are lots of products that take how much living room you have access to into consideration. Be sure to filter through the results to find the one right for your home!
