Bed Dimensions

UK Bed Sizes - Bed Dimensions

Bed sizes will vary by design so please ask if you are unsure whether a certain bed will fit in your room, in general bedsteads come in 3 size-variations with sleigh shaped beds being very long, and wingback beds are wider while square-frame  Fabric Designer Beds are more compact. Please note adding gas-lift storage to a slatted bedstead will add 1-2" (~3-5cm) to the bed length.

3ft single, 4ft small double, 4ft6 double, 5ft king size and 6ft super king size are the standard UK bed sizes. These sizes refer to the mattress ie 3ft single, or 5ft king size. Each bed frame has it's own dimensions and all our bed frames take standard UK size mattresses.
