UK Bed and Mattress Size Guide

UK bed sizing runs a little differently to the rest of the world. Use this guide to check dimensions before you order — every product page also lists the exact frame and mattress size for that item.

Measuring Your Room

Leave at least 60–70cm of clearance around each side of the bed for walking space and wardrobe doors. Measure your doorway and any stairwells too — most of our frames are delivered pre-assembled or in easy-fit sections, but it's worth checking the base dimensions will fit through on delivery day.

Headboard and Base Height

Our divan frames have a standard headboard height of 54cm and a base height of 34cm, giving a comfortable overall bed height once your mattress is added. Exact dimensions are listed on each product page.
