One final consideration...

When considering the purchase of 4ft beds you must make sure you take heed of all the overall dimensions.  This is especially crucial if the reason why you are buying a 4ft bed in the first place is because it can't be larger than a specific size. Whilst the mattress it holds will always measure 120 x 190cm, the bases themselves can vary. For a example a wooden bed with a chunky head and foot end might measure considerable more than the mattress. If trying to keep your measurements trim then the divan style beds are the best options to consider as they will be closest in size to mattress measurements.
