Explore our collection of double beds and find your perfect solo or shared sleep solution today. At Bensons, we believe that a double bed should not only be a place to sleep – it's also a striking centrepiece and can even double up as additional storage space if needed too. That’s why we offer double ottoman beds, and double divan beds in a choice of colours and materials. We also have some gorgeous double wooden bed frames, double beds with a mattress included, and even gaming and TV beds in double too. So, whatever your needs may be, finding the ideal fit is easy at Bensons.
Let’s address the numerous questions relating to double beds including:
In the UK, double beds are a standardised size. So, a double bed is 135cm – or 4ft6 if you prefer – wide and 190cm long (6ft3).
A double bed has been designed to ensure that there is enough space for two adults to sleep comfortably. But a double storage bed could also be a great option for a teenager’s bedroom, especially if they feel that they are outgrowing their single bed.
In the UK, double beds are the most popular bed size thanks to their versatility. They are a great choice for couples, adults on their own, teenagers, and even guest rooms with adequate space to accommodate a double bed too.
Not sure you have enough space in your preferred room to house a double? Our handy home measuring guide offers some great tips and tricks on how to measure the rooms in your home more accurately.
A double bed and base is an ideal option for solo sleepers and those sharing a bed too, making it a versatile for most households. Choosing the right double bed can enhance your décor and help to create the desired ambience in your bedroom as a whole too.
A double bed provides enough space for two adults to enjoy a comfortable night’s rest. And for those who don’t share a bed with a partner, a double bed leaves you with even more space to stretch out like a starfish while you sleep.
But most importantly, double beds have a relatively small footprint when compared to king size and super king options. And with a double ottoman bed with storage, you can really make the most of even the smallest bedrooms by having one piece of furniture serve as two.
No, a queen size bed is actually smaller than a double bed.
In the UK, a queen size bed is the equivalent in size to a small double bed.
Small double beds are slightly smaller in width than standard double beds. And while a queen or small-double can still sleep two adults comfortably, many people appreciate the extra space that a full size double bed can provide.
In the UK, duvets are standard measurements for the different sizes of bed. And a double duvet is the best of all the duvets as it measures 200cm x 200cm. This means you’ll have none of those ‘which way round should my duvet go inside its cover’ woes.
At Bensons for Beds, we have a whole page dedicated to double bedding for double beds. Explore everything from double mattress protectors and duvets to pillows for side sleepers as well as back and front sleepers, and beyond.
When it comes to the best double mattresses, there is no one size fits all solution. The only reason for this is that what feels comfortable and snuggly for one person may well be too soft for another. And what feels firm and supportive to someone, could feel too hard for someone else.
We offer a range of different mattresses for double beds. You can select your mattress based on its comfort rating. Choose from soft, medium, firm or extra firm. All of our double beds are compatible with our mattresses.
If you are looking for a double bed with a mattress, some of our double divan beds come in sets, with a mattress included in the price. You can also choose a mattress to suit the bed base or frame you like with the help of our instore colleagues, sales team or just by looking online.

Our diverse collection of double bed frames offers something to appeal to every want and need. A simple wooden or metal double bed frame is a great choice that can pair really well with any bedroom décor.
But for bedrooms where floor space comes at a premium, or households where additional storage always comes in handy, storage beds could be an ideal. At Bensons, our double storage beds include double divans and double [ottoman bed frames](/beds/ottoman-beds/].
Some of our divan beds are available in sets featuring a double bed base and mattress included in the total price. Many of our divan bed designs also come with a choice of handy integrated storage drawers. These can be used to store anything from bedding and blankets to shoes and sentimental items – the choice is yours.
A double ottoman bed is another option that will really maximise the storage space beneath your sleep surface. Simply raise the mattress to uncover a discreet and generous storage compartment underneath.
And if you are after something a little more luxurious and customisable, an adjustable double bed could be the lifestyle product you’ve always longed for. Electric 4ft6 beds are also great for tech-savvy adults and teens alike as many come equipped with handy USB charging ports too. Other adjustable doubles provide premium features such as massage modes and more.
For those boxset bingers and movie addicts, a stylish double TV bed could be just what you’re after. Many of our TV bed options are available in double and come complete with integrated televisions and surround sound features too. All of these can tech-savvy bed features can also be discreetly hidden away when not in use.
And a double gaming bed takes those integrated tech features up a notch with integrated LED lighting, and dedicated spaces for charging and storing peripherals.
If your guest bedroom needs to double up as an office, a double sofa bed provides a great solution. A folding sofa bed can quickly be transformed into a double bed and back to a sofa again as and when needed.
When it comes to choosing colours, let your personal preferences and design tastes guide you.
