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 are the benefits of a king size?

A king-size offers several benefits, particularly for those who value space and comfort in their sleeping arrangements. Here are some of the main advantages:

Benefits of a Kingsize

1. Ample Space:

  • A king-size provides plenty of room for couples to sleep comfortably without disturbing each other. This is especially beneficial for those who are restless sleepers or have different sleep patterns.

  • It can become the focal point of the room, enhancing the overall design and atmosphere.

5. Health Benefits:

  • Provides more options for comfortable sleeping positions, potentially reducing back and joint pain.

6. Versatility:

  • Can accommodate a variety of activities beyond sleeping, such as reading, watching TV, or working on a laptop, with plenty of room for pillows and blankets.

7. Resale Value:

  • Investing in a high-quality king-size can potentially increase the resale value of your bedroom set if you ever decide to sell it.

8. Shared Bedtime:

  • Provides space for couples to engage in activities together, such as watching movies or reading, without feeling cramped.

Overall, a king-size is an excellent choice for those who prioritize comfort, space, and luxury in their sleeping environment.

Who should buy a king size?

A king-size is a great investment for anyone who values space and comfort in their sleeping arrangements. Here are some specific situations and types of individuals who might benefit most from purchasing a king-size:

1. Couples:

  • Couples who prefer more personal space while sleeping can greatly benefit from the extra width of a king-size,
  • Those who experience sleep disturbances from their partner’s movements will appreciate the reduced motion transfer in a king-size.

2. Taller Individuals:

  • People who are taller than average may find that the additional length of a king-size offers more legroom and comfort compared to smaller sizes.

3. Families with Children or Pets:

  • Families who co-sleep with young children or share with pets will appreciate the extra space a king-size provides, allowing everyone to sleep comfortably without feeling crowded
  • Parents who occasionally have their kids join them for nighttime comfort or morning cuddles will find the space accommodating.

4. Individuals with Health Concerns:

  • People who suffer from back or joint pain may benefit from the ability to spread out and change positions easily, which can help reduce pressure points and improve sleep quality.
  • Those who require additional pillows or sleep aids for conditions such as sleep apnea may find a king-size more accommodating.

5. People Who Enjoy a Luxurious Sleep Environment:

  • Individuals who prioritize luxury and aesthetics in their bedroom will appreciate the king-size's ability to serve as a statement piece, enhancing the room's overall design and atmosphere.
  • Those who enjoy a hotel-like sleeping experience at home will find the king-size’s spaciousness appealing.

6. Active Sleepers:

  • People who tend to move around a lot during the night will appreciate the extra space to stretch out and shift positions without disturbing a partner.

7. Homeowners with Large Bedrooms:

  • Those who have a large master bedroom will find that a king-size fits proportionately, providing ample space for the bed and other furniture while maintaining a balanced aesthetic.

Conclusion

Overall, a king-size is ideal for couples, families, or individuals who want more space and comfort in their sleeping arrangements. It provides an excellent balance of luxury and functionality, making it a worthwhile investment for many people.

What are the disadvantages of a king size?

While a king-size offers many benefits, such as increased space and comfort, there are also some potential disadvantages to consider:

Disadvantages of a King-Size

1. Cost:

  • Higher Initial Investment: King-size and their associated bedding, such as sheets, duvets, and mattress protectors, are typically more expensive than smaller sizes.
  • Maintenance Costs: The larger size may lead to higher costs for cleaning and replacing bedding and mattress accessories.

2. Room Size Requirements:

  • Space Constraints: A king-size requires a larger bedroom to accommodate its dimensions comfortably while leaving enough space for movement and other furniture. In smaller rooms, a king-size might make the space feel cramped.

3. Mobility and Handling:

  • Difficult to Move: King-size can be heavy and cumbersome, making them challenging to move or reposition, particularly if you are relocating or redecorating frequently.
  • Assembly: Assembly can be more complex and time-consuming compared to smaller sizes, requiring more effort to set up.

4. Cost of Accessories:

  • Bedding Costs: King-size bedding, including sheets, comforters, and mattress protectors, is often more expensive and may require special sizes or custom options.
  • Storage: Larger bedding and accessories may require more storage space when not in use.

5. Room Layout:

  • Limited Flexibility: In smaller rooms, a king-size can limit your options for arranging other furniture and might restrict the flow of movement within the room.
  • Visual Balance: In a small room, a king-size might dominate the space, affecting the overall aesthetics and balance of the room.

6. Heat Retention:

  • Warmth: Larger sizes may retain more heat, which can be a disadvantage in warmer climates or for individuals who prefer a cooler sleeping environment. However, this can also be mitigated with appropriate bedding.

7. Comfort and Use:

  • Space vs. Intimacy: While the extra space can be comfortable, some people may prefer a smaller size for a cozier or more intimate feel, especially if they like to be close to their partner during sleep.

8. Maintenance:

  • Mattress Maintenance: A larger size can be harder to clean and maintain, especially if it becomes stained or needs to be rotated or flipped regularly.

Conclusion

A king-size provides substantial benefits in terms of space and comfort, but these advantages come with some trade-offs, including higher costs, space requirements, and practical considerations for handling and maintenance. Assessing these potential disadvantages in relation to your specific needs and room size can help determine whether a king-size is the right choice for you.
