Beds for a bedroom you'll love waking up in

The bed is the heart of any bedroom and the single piece that shapes how the whole room feels. Get it right and everything else falls into place. Our range covers every UK size and style — space-saving single beds, versatile doubles, roomy king sizes and clever ottoman beds with lift-up storage — in upholstered, wooden, metal and fabric finishes to suit the room and the sleeper. Below is a straightforward guide to choosing the right size, frame style and storage, so you can shop with confidence.

Whether you're furnishing a child's room, a main bedroom or a guest space, the advice here will help you match the bed to your room and your household — with fast UK delivery and 30-day returns on every frame.

UK bed sizes at a glance

Choosing the right size is the first decision, and it's mostly about the room as well as the sleeper.

  • Single (90 x 190cm) — ideal for children's rooms, box rooms and single guest spaces where floor area is tight. See our single beds.
  • Double (135 x 190cm) — the everyday choice for couples and roomy solo sleepers, fitting most standard bedrooms. Browse double beds.
  • King size (150 x 200cm) — extra width and length for a more spacious night's sleep, best in a generous room. Explore king size beds.
  • Ottoman beds — any size with a lift-up base that reveals a huge hidden storage void underneath. See ottoman beds.

Measuring your room

Before you settle on a size, measure the room and plan the layout. Leave at least 60 to 70cm of clear space along each side you'll use to get in and out, and enough room to open wardrobe and drawer fronts fully. Remember the frame footprint is larger than the mattress — add a few centimetres for the surround and any footboard. If you're choosing an ottoman, check there's clearance for the base to lift, and if a divan, that it can be manoeuvred up the stairs and around landings.

Frame styles and storage

The frame sets the tone of the room. Upholstered and fabric beds add softness and a padded headboard for reading in bed; wooden frames bring warmth and last for years; metal frames feel light and airy and suit both traditional and industrial schemes. If storage is short, an ottoman bed lifts on gas struts to swallow spare bedding and out-of-season clothes, while divans with built-in drawers offer handy everyday access. Match the headboard height and finish to your room, remembering a tall headboard makes a real statement.

Mattress support and comfort

The base matters as much as the mattress. Sprung slatted bases flex gently for extra give and comfort, while solid or close-slatted bases give firmer, even support that many memory-foam mattresses prefer. Check the maximum mattress depth a frame is designed for, and always confirm whether a mattress is included, as bed frames are frequently sold on their own. Choosing the right pairing of frame and mattress is what turns a good-looking bed into a genuinely comfortable one.

Beds — frequently asked questions

What are the standard UK bed sizes?

The common sizes are single at 90 x 190cm, double at 135 x 190cm and king size at 150 x 200cm. Singles suit children's and box rooms, doubles fit most bedrooms, and king size gives couples extra width and length in a larger room.

How much space should I leave around a bed?

Aim for at least 60 to 70cm of clear floor along each side you use to get in and out, plus room to open wardrobe and drawer fronts. Remember the frame is a little larger than the mattress, so allow for the surround and any footboard.

Are ottoman beds worth it for storage?

Yes, if you are short on storage. The base lifts on gas struts to reveal a large space underneath, ideal for spare bedding, pillows and out-of-season clothes. Just check there is clearance above the bed for the base to open fully.

Do your beds come with a mattress?

Bed frames are often sold on their own, so always check the product description to see whether a mattress is included. This lets you pair the frame with a mattress that suits how you like to sleep.

What type of base is best for my mattress?

Sprung slatted bases flex for a little extra give, while solid or close-slatted bases give firmer, even support that suits many memory-foam mattresses. Check the maximum mattress depth the frame is designed to take before you buy.

How are beds delivered, and can I return one?

Beds are carefully packed for UK delivery and many frames arrive flat-packed for easier handling through doorways and up stairs. Every frame is covered by our 30-day returns policy.
