4ft6 Double Beds

A 4ft6 double bed, also called a standard double bed, measures 4 feet 6 inches wide (137cm) and 6 feet 3 inches long (190cm). It’s the perfect size for couples or anyone who enjoys some extra space to stretch out.

The bed's size typically refers to the mattress size, but be mindful that the external dimensions of the bed may be slightly larger.

Double beds need a double mattress—simple as that!

Measuring 4ft6 by 6ft3 (137cm x 190cm), these mattresses are a perfect fit. With options ranging from firm to soft, springy to foam-tastic, you can find your match made in mattress heaven.

The main difference is width. A 4ft small
double bed is 4 feet (122 cm) wide, while a 4ft6 double bed is 6 inches (15 cm)
wider. This extra width can make a significant difference in comfort,
especially for couples who tend to move around a lot during sleep.

Spacious: Provides ample room for two people to sleep comfortably.  

Versatile: Suitable for a variety of bedroom sizes and styles.

Affordable: Generally more affordable than larger bed sizes like king or super king.

Bed frame style: Select a frame that complements your bedroom decor.

Storage: Do you need extra storage in the bed, drawers or ottoman storage space can cost more but may save you money on extra furniture.

Room size: Ensure the bed will fit comfortably in your bedroom without over crowding the space. A divan bed can take up less room than a bed frame as the mattress sits edge to edge of the base.

Budget: Shop around for the best value for money to keep within budget.

A double bed can accommodate two adults, but it might feel a bit snug if both sleepers need more personal space. For couples who prefer extra room, upgrading to a king size or super king size might be better.

Double beds with storage offer a practical and stylish solution for maximising space in any bedroom. These versatile pieces of furniture combine the comfort and aesthetic appeal of a traditional double bed with the added benefit of integrated storage compartments.

There are several types of storage you can get in a double bed. A divan bed with drawers or an ottoman bed are great way to maximise space. A bed with a storage headboard that has built in compartments is perfect for small items that you want within reach.

There are many different types of double bed frames available, each with its own unique style and features. Some of the most popular types include:  

Double Wooden bed frames: These are a classic choice that can add a touch of warmth and natural beauty to any bedroom. They are available in a variety of woods, such as oak and pine.

Double Metal bed frames: These are a more modern option that can add a sleek and contemporary look to your bedroom. They are often made from iron or steel and can be finished in a variety of colors.  

Double Upholstered bed frames: These are a luxurious option that can add a touch of sophistication to your bedroom. They are typically covered in fabric, such as velvet or chenille, and can be tufted or buttoned for added detail.  

Double Storage bed frames: These are a practical option for those who need extra storage space. They often have drawers built into the base of the bed or a hidden ottoman compartment underneath the mattress.  

A divan bed consists of a sturdy base made from a wooden frame, typically upholstered in fabric, and often paired with a divan headboard in a matching fabric.

Divan beds normally take up less room in your bedroom as the mattress sits edge to edge of the base, making the external foot print less than most bed frames.
