Wooden Double Bed Frames

Who Suits A Standard Double Bed?

• Couples with limited space – At 140 cm wide, a double bed provides practical sleeping space for two without requiring the large footprint of a queen or king size bed, which are more typical for couples in these regions.

• Solo sleepers who want room to stretch – A double bed gives solo sleepers 50 cm more width than a standard single, making it a comfortable long‑term choice for one person.

• Smaller master bedrooms – Where a larger frame would dominate the room, a standard double bed gives couples proper sleeping space while leaving enough floor space around the bed for furniture and movement.

• Growing teenagers and young adults – A solid wood double bed frame is a smart long-term investment for older teenagers moving into their first apartment or away to university, providing adult-sized comfort that works in a wide range of room sizes.

• Guest rooms – A double bed frame provides genuine guest comfort and suits the widest range of visitors, from solo guests who want space to couples who need to share.

Top Double Bed Tips From Our Joiners

• Recommended room size for a double bed – We recommend a minimum room size of 2.7m x 3m (8 ft 10 in x 9 ft 10 in) to accommodate a wooden double bed frame with comfortable access on both sides and space for nightstands. For modern homes, where room dimensions are usually smaller, a double bed works well.

• Space-saving frame – In tighter rooms, a space saver frame (which reduces external dimensions by 8–12 cm) can make a significant difference to the floor space around the bed.

• Use the space beneath wisely – Under a standard double bed frame sits one of the most valuable storage opportunities in any bedroom. If you're not choosing a storage frame, ensure your chosen style has enough clearance for standard storage boxes.

• Built for long-term stability – A double bed places consistent leverage on the frame's corner joints, particularly with two people sharing. Our mortise and tenon joinery ensures the frame stays square, stable and creak-free over time without loosening.

FAQs

Is a double bed big enough for two adults?

While a standard double bed is technically wide enough and widely used for couples, it can be a little cozy. At 140x190 cm, each adult would only have 70 cm of space each, which is slightly narrower than a small single bed (76 cm).

If you’re a couple who doesn't move much during the night, it should be fine. However, if you both move frequently and have the space to do so, we recommend upgrading to a queen size bed or a king size bed for long-term comfort.

What is the difference between a double and a queen size bed?

A standard double measures 140 cm wide by 190 cm long. A standard queen measures 160 cm wide by 200 cm long, making it 10 cm wider and 10 cm longer. The queen size offers significantly more sleeping space for couples but requires a larger bedroom. In most bedrooms under 3.5m x 4m, a double is often the more practical choice.

How much weight can a wooden double bed frame support?

Our solid wood double bed frames support up to 471 kg (1038 lbs), achieved through solid timber construction, mortise and tenon joinery, and extra-thick slats that are double the industry standard thickness, significantly higher than most mass-produced alternatives.

What other double bed sizes are available?

Our standard double beds provide a generous sleeping space on a 140x190 cm mattress for solo sleepers or couples. Other options are:

• European double beds (140x200 cm) - Offering an extra 10 cm of length to match the dimensions of double mattresses from IKEA.

Do I need a new mattress when getting a new standard double bed frame?

Not necessarily; our standard double bed frames are made specifically to fit 140x190 cm mattresses. As long as your current mattress is the right size, supportive, comfortable, and free from sagging, it will perform optimally on our solid wood bases.
