UK BED SIZES - DIMENSIONS

Bed sizes can vary depending on the design, so if you’re unsure whether a specific bed will fit in your room, please feel free to ask. Generally, bed frames come in three size variations: sleigh beds tend to be longer, wingback beds are wider, and square-frame designer beds are more compact. Please note that adding gas-lift storage to a slatted bed frame will increase the bed length by approximately 1-2 inches (3-5 cm).

The standard UK bed sizes include 3ft single, 4ft small double, 4ft6 double, 5ft king size, and 6ft super king size. These sizes refer to the mattress dimensions (e.g., 3ft single or 5ft king size). Each bed frame has its own specific dimensions, but all our bed frames accommodate standard UK size mattresses.

Divan bases are the most compact option, matching the width and length of standard UK mattress sizes, with the headboard adding an extra 2-3 cm to the overall bed length.
