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.
| Size | Metric (cm) | Imperial | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single | 90 × 190 cm | 3'0" × 6'3" | Children's rooms, guest rooms, single sleepers |
| Small Double | 120 × 190 cm | 4'0" × 6'3" | Single sleepers wanting extra space, snug rooms |
| Double | 135–140 × 190 cm | 4'6" × 6'3" | Couples, standard UK bedrooms |
| King | 150 × 200 cm | 5'0" × 6'6" | Couples wanting more room, larger bedrooms |
| Super King | 180 × 200 cm | 6'0" × 6'6" | Maximum comfort, primary bedrooms |
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.
