Small Double Beds

Why Choose a Small Double Bed? A small double offers comfortable sleeping space for one person and can accommodate two people when needed. It fits neatly into tighter layouts and is popular in modern homes where space is limited. The 4ft width also makes it a practical upgrade for anyone who finds a single bed too narrow. Types of Small Double Bed Frames Small double beds are available in a wide range of frame styles, including upholstered designs, wooden frames, metal frames and storage beds. You can choose between lift up ottoman storage, divan drawer storage or simple platform frames depending on how much room you need under the bed. Many of our frames come in multiple colours and fabrics so you can match the bed to the look and feel of your room. Who Are Small Double Beds Best For? Small double beds are well suited to teenagers, students, single adults and guests. They are also a good fit for smaller master bedrooms where you want comfort without sacrificing too much floor space. If you need a compact sleeping solution that feels more spacious than a single bed, a small double is a reliable and versatile option. Choosing the Right Frame Think about the size of your room, your storage needs and your preferred style. Storage beds are helpful for small rooms, while simple frames work well in guest spaces. Upholstered options create a soft, modern look, while wooden frames offer a classic and durable finish. If you need help choosing the right small double bed, our team is here to guide you.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before you order.

  • A UK small double (4ft bed) measures 120cm wide and 190cm long. It is notably wider than a single but narrower than a standard double (135cm). It's a popular choice for solo sleepers who want more room to spread out, or for guest rooms where space is limited but a double look is preferred.

  • A small double can be used by two adults but is quite snug — most couples find a standard double or king size significantly more comfortable for regular shared use. A small double is best suited to a solo adult wanting more space than a single, or as a guest bed.

  • Standard double duvet covers will fit a small double mattress but will have more overhang. Fitted sheets need to be specifically sized for a small double (120 x 190cm) — standard double fitted sheets will be loose. We recommend purchasing small double-specific bedding for the best fit.

  • No — a small double is a UK-specific size (120 x 190cm). A queen size is a US standard with no direct UK equivalent. UK standard sizes are single (90cm), small double (120cm), double (135cm), king (150cm), and super king (180cm). Bedding and mattresses are sized accordingly.

  • Yes — the majority of our bed frame styles are available in small double sizing. The available sizes for each product are clearly shown on the product listing. If a particular style is not available in small double, our team can advise on the closest alternative.
