UK Bed Size Guide | Find Your Perfect Bed Size

Choosing the right bed size is one of the most important decisions when buying a new bed. Too small and you'll be uncomfortable; too large and your bedroom feels cramped. Our UK Bed Size Guide covers all standard sizes so you can make the right choice with confidence.

How to Measure Your Bedroom for a New Bed

Before ordering, measure your bedroom carefully:

• Allow at least 60cm (2ft) of clearance on each side of the bed for comfortable access
• Allow at least 90cm (3ft) of clearance at the foot of the bed
• Account for bedside tables, wardrobes, and any other furniture
• Consider the room door swing to ensure it won't hit the bed

Which Bed Size Is Right for You?

Single sleeper with limited space? A Small Double (4ft) gives you noticeably more room than a Single without overwhelming a smaller bedroom.

Couple sharing a bed? A King Size (5ft) is the most popular choice for couples in the UK, offering generous space without requiring a huge room.

Tall sleepers? King Size and Super King beds are 200cm (6ft 6) long — ideal if you are over 6ft tall.

Master bedroom upgrade? A Super King (6ft) makes a truly dramatic statement and gives both sleepers maximum comfort.
