Bed Size Guide

Not sure which bed size will fit your room? Below are the standard UK mattress dimensions each size name refers to, plus a few tips for planning the space around the bed. Exact dimensions can vary slightly by design — always check the specific product page for the sizes available on that bed.

Size Standard width Standard length Good for
Single 90cm (3'0") 190cm One person, children's or box rooms
Small Double 120cm (4'0") 190cm One person wanting extra space, or a snug fit for two
Double 135cm (4'6") 190cm Couples or one person wanting more space
King 150cm (5'0") 200cm Couples wanting extra room, medium-to-large bedrooms
Super King 180cm (6'0") 200cm Couples wanting maximum space, larger main bedrooms

Planning the room around your bed

  • Leave at least 60–70cm of clear space along each side of the bed you'll walk around regularly, where the room allows.
  • For an ottoman storage bed, check you have enough clearance above the bed (or in front, for end-lift designs) to fully raise the lid.
  • Measure your doorway and any staircases or landings the bed will need to pass through before ordering a larger size.
  • If you are replacing an existing bed, measure your current mattress rather than relying on its size name — actual dimensions can vary slightly between manufacturers.
