Beds FAQs
Everything you need to know before you buy
What types of beds are available?
The main bed types are divan beds, bed frames, ottoman beds, bunk beds and sofa beds. Divan beds sit on a fabric-upholstered base and often include built-in storage. Bed frames are the traditional style with a headboard, footboard and slatted base. Ottoman beds have a lift-up base that reveals large storage underneath. Bunk beds stack two sleeping surfaces vertically and are ideal for children's rooms or shared spaces. Sofa beds double as seating during the day. Each type suits different needs, room sizes and budgets.
What bed size do I need?
UK bed sizes run from small single (75 x 190cm) and single (90 x 190cm) for one person, to small double (120 x 190cm) and double (135 x 190cm) for couples in smaller rooms, up to king size (150 x 200cm) and super king (180 x 200cm) for those who want maximum space. As a rule, allow at least 60cm of clearance around the bed on the sides you'll walk past, and measure your room before buying — a king size bed can feel very different in a 3m x 3m room compared to a 4m x 4m one.
What's the difference between a bed frame and a divan bed?
A bed frame is a freestanding structure — typically with a headboard, side rails and a slatted base — that holds the mattress above the floor. Divan beds have a solid or sprung upholstered base that sits directly on the floor on castors, with the mattress on top. Bed frames tend to make more of a style statement and suit a wider variety of room aesthetics. Divan beds are more practical — they're lower profile, offer built-in storage options, and generally provide a more even, consistent support surface for the mattress.
Do I need a special mattress for my bed frame?
Most standard mattresses are compatible with most bed frames — the critical factor is size. Beyond that, slatted frames with slats more than 7cm apart are not suitable for some mattress types, particularly memory foam and pocket spring mattresses, as the gaps can cause the mattress to sag and wear unevenly. If your slats are widely spaced, a solid base board insert will resolve the issue. Adjustable bed frames require a specialist flexible mattress — a standard spring mattress cannot bend safely around an articulating base.
What is an ottoman bed and is it worth it?
An ottoman bed has a base that lifts up — either from the side or the end — to reveal a large storage area underneath. The entire depth of the base is usable storage, making it one of the highest-capacity storage solutions available for a bedroom without taking up any additional floor space. Ottoman beds are particularly popular in flats and smaller homes. They do cost more than a plain bed frame or divan, but for bedrooms where storage is at a premium the investment is usually well worthwhile.
How do I choose the right bed for a small bedroom?
In a small bedroom, prioritise beds that make the most of the available space. A divan with ottoman storage or drawers removes the need for separate storage furniture. A lower-profile bed — a divan or low-frame bed — makes the room feel more open than a high-sided frame. Avoid beds with large footboards in rooms where floor space is tight. If the room is very small, a small double (120 x 190cm) is worth considering over a standard double — it's 15cm narrower and can make a significant difference to how the room feels.
What is the best bed for back pain?
The mattress matters far more than the frame for back pain, but the base plays a role too. A solid platform-top divan provides even, consistent support for a quality mattress. For back pain sufferers, the most important things are choosing a medium-firm mattress with good spinal support — pocket spring, hybrid or memory foam are all worth considering — and ensuring it sits on a base that supports it evenly across the full surface. Avoid very soft mattresses or old bases with broken slats that allow the mattress to sag.
How long should a bed last?
The divan base or bed frame itself can last 15 to 20 years with normal use. The mattress is typically the first component to need replacing, usually after 8 to 12 years for a quality pocket spring or memory foam mattress. Signs that your mattress needs replacing include visible sagging, waking with aches and stiffness, or a mattress that no longer returns to shape after you get up. When replacing the mattress, it's worth assessing the base at the same time — a worn or damaged base will shorten the life of a new mattress.
Are wooden bed frames sturdy enough for everyday use?
Quality solid wood and engineered wood bed frames are very sturdy and suitable for everyday long-term use. The key is build quality — solid hardwood frames (oak, pine, walnut) are the most durable, while engineered wood or MDF frames at a lower price point can be equally stable if well-constructed. Look for frames with a centre support bar on larger sizes (double and above), as this prevents the slatted base from bowing over time. Poorly made frames with thin slats or weak joinery can creak and loosen with use, so it's worth investing in a reputable brand.
Can I use a headboard on a divan bed?
Yes — most divan bases include a headboard bracket on the back panel so you can attach a headboard at any time. Headboards are typically sold separately, giving you the freedom to choose a style and fabric that suits your room. Divan headboards come in a wide range of styles from simple upholstered panels to statement winged or buttoned designs. Some headboards are floor-standing and don't require a frame attachment at all, making them compatible with any base. Always check that the headboard you're buying is designed to fit your base size.
What bed is best for children?
For younger children, a low-to-the-floor bed frame or divan minimises the risk of injury if they fall or roll out during the night. Mid-sleeper and high-sleeper frames with guard rails work well for older children from around 6 years old, providing a play or study area underneath. Bunk beds are ideal for shared rooms and are generally suitable from around 6 years upwards for the top bunk. Look for frames that meet current UK safety standards and have sufficient guard rail height. As children grow, a single or small double frame gives them room to spread out.
What should I check before buying a bed online?
Measure your room carefully before ordering — account for the bed frame dimensions as well as the mattress, and leave adequate clearance on all walkable sides. Check whether the bed is supplied with a mattress or mattress only, and confirm the size — UK bed sizes are standardised but some imported frames use European dimensions that are slightly different. Check delivery details: some beds are delivered flat-packed for self-assembly, others are delivered assembled or in parts. If the bed includes storage, check whether the drawers are side or end opening to ensure they'll work in your room layout.

What is a single size?

A "single size" typically refers to a mattress that is designed for one person. The standard dimensions for a single bed in the UK are:

  • Width: 90 cm (3FT)
  • Length: 190 cm (6FT 3)

These dimensions make the single bed a suitable option for children, teenagers, and single adults, as well as for use in guest rooms and smaller bedrooms where space is limited. The size provides ample space for one person to sleep comfortably without occupying too much room in the bedroom.

What are the benefits of a single size?

A single size offers several benefits, making it a popular choice for various scenarios. Here are some key advantages:

1. Space Efficiency:

  • Compact Size: Singles are smaller and take up less floor space, making them ideal for small bedrooms, guest rooms, dormitories, or studio apartments.
  • Flexibility in Room Layout: Their compact size allows more flexibility in arranging furniture and utilizing the room space for other purposes, such as desks, bookshelves, or play areas.

2. Cost-Effective:

  • Lower Cost: Singles are generally less expensive than larger sizes, both in terms of the bed frame and mattress. This makes them a cost-effective option for budget-conscious individuals or families.
  • Lower Maintenance Costs: Bedding accessories such as sheets, duvets, and blankets for singles are usually cheaper than those for larger beds.

3. Ideal for Single Sleepers:

  • Sufficient Space for One: A single provides adequate space for one person to sleep comfortably, making it a practical choice for children, teenagers, or single adults.
  • Guest Accommodation: Singles are perfect for guest rooms, providing a comfortable sleeping arrangement for visitors without requiring a larger bed.

4. Versatility:

  • Adaptable Use: Singles can easily be used in various settings, such as children's rooms, guest rooms, and even in some home offices or study rooms where a daybed might be needed.
  • Bunk Bed Compatibility: Singles can be used in bunk beds, which are an excellent solution for shared bedrooms or maximizing vertical space.

5. Ease of Movement:

  • Lighter Weight: Singles are easier to move and transport compared to larger beds, which is particularly beneficial for frequent movers or those who like to rearrange their rooms.
  • Simplicity in Assembly: The smaller size and lighter weight also make assembly and disassembly easier and quicker.

6. Health and Comfort:

  • Personal Space for Children: For children transitioning from a crib to a bed, a single offers a manageable and cozy space that can help them feel secure and comfortable.
  • Encourages Proper Sleep Posture: Singles can support good sleep posture and provide adequate comfort for individual sleepers, contributing to better sleep quality.

Overall, a single size is a practical and versatile choice that offers numerous benefits, particularly in terms of space-saving, cost-effectiveness, and adaptability to various living arrangements.

Who should buy a single size?

A single size is suitable for various individuals and situations. Here are some scenarios and people who would benefit from buying a single size:

1. Children:

  • Growing Up: Ideal for children transitioning from a crib or toddler bed to their first "big kid" bed.
  • Space for Play: Leaves more room in the bedroom for play areas, toys, and other furniture.

2. Teenagers:

  • Small Bedrooms: Perfect for teenagers with smaller bedrooms, providing enough sleeping space while allowing room for a desk, wardrobe, or other furniture.

3. Single Adults:

  • Compact Living Spaces: Suitable for single adults living in studio apartments, dormitories, or shared accommodations where space is limited.
  • Guest Rooms: Ideal for guest rooms, offering a comfortable sleeping arrangement for visitors without taking up too much space.

5. Seniors:

  • Downsizing: Ideal for seniors downsizing to a smaller living space, such as a retirement home or assisted living facility.
  • Ease of Movement: Easier to move and rearrange compared to larger beds.

6. Guest Accommodations:

  • Guest Rooms: Suitable for guest bedrooms, providing a comfortable sleeping option without occupying much space.
  • Temporary Use: Good for occasional use, such as accommodating visiting family or friends.

7. Shared Bedrooms:

  • Bunk Beds: Often used in bunk beds, making them a great choice for siblings sharing a room or for maximizing sleeping arrangements in a shared space.

8. Vacation Homes and Rentals:

  • Space Efficiency: Ideal for vacation homes, cabins, or rental properties where maximizing sleeping capacity while maintaining space efficiency is important.

9. Daybeds and Trundle Beds:

  • Multi-Use Furniture: Can be used in daybeds or trundle beds, providing a versatile solution for seating during the day and sleeping at night.

10. Budget-Conscious Buyers:

  • Cost-Effective: A single size is a more affordable option compared to larger beds, making it an attractive choice for those on a tight budget.

What are the disadvantages of a single size?

While a single size offers many benefits, it also has several disadvantages that may make it less suitable for some individuals or situations. Here are some of the main drawbacks:

1. Limited Space for Movement:

  • Restricted Sleeping Area: The narrow width (typically around 35-39 inches or 90-99 cm) can feel cramped, especially for individuals who move a lot during sleep.
  • Uncomfortable for Two: It is not designed to accommodate two people comfortably, making it unsuitable for couples.

2. Short Length for Taller Individuals:

  • o Standard Length: The typical length of 75 inches (190-191 cm) can be too short for taller individuals, leading to discomfort and poor sleep quality. Taller individuals might need to opt for a Twin XL or a larger size.

3. Limited Usefulness Beyond Childhood:

  • Growing Children: Children may outgrow a single size relatively quickly, necessitating the purchase of a larger bed as they grow.
  • Teenagers and Adults: While suitable for some, it may not provide the comfort and space required for teenagers and adults, especially if they prefer more space.

4. Lack of Versatility for Shared Spaces:

  • Guest Rooms: If you frequently host couples or more than one guest at a time, a single size may not be practical.
  • Limited Flexibility: In shared spaces like guest rooms or multipurpose rooms, a larger bed might be more versatile.

5. Perceived Aesthetic:

  • Childish Appearance: Single sizes can sometimes be associated with children’s furniture, which may not suit the aesthetic preferences of older teens or adults.
  • Design Limitations: There are fewer design options and styles available compared to larger sizes.

6. Reduced Comfort for Some Sleepers:

  • Sleep Positions: Individuals who sleep in certain positions (e.g., starfish or spread-eagle) may find the width of a single constraining.
  • Sleep Quality: The limited space can impact sleep quality for those who prefer more room to stretch out.

7. Impact on Relationship Dynamics:

  • Limited to Single Occupant: For couples or those who occasionally co-sleep with a partner or pet, a single is not a viable option.
  • Social Limitations: It may not be suitable for sleepovers or sharing with friends or siblings, which can be a consideration for teenagers.

Summary

While single sizes are practical and space-efficient, their limitations in terms of space, comfort, and versatility make them less suitable for certain individuals and situations. It's important to consider these disadvantages when deciding whether a single size is the right choice for your needs
