Double beds for singles or couples

Double beds are a step up from a king single bed and the perfect compromise between a regular single bed and a queen bed. A double bed size fits perfectly into double bedrooms or large single bedrooms, providing a comfy night’s sleep for two people or affording plenty of space to stretch out for one person.

Buying a new double bed

Choose a bed from our wide range of bedroom furniture along with everything you need to create a comfortable place to sleep. As well as our diverse collection of beautiful double bed designs, you’ll find that our popular bedroom furniture range includes a great selection of:

• Bedside tables for somewhere to pop a reading lamp, book, glass of water
• Double mattresses in pocket spring, foam, and latex from leading, high-quality brands
• Double bedroom suites to create a coordinated look with everything you need
• Bedding accessories such as mattress protectors, sheets and double bed quilt covers
• Tallboys and chests of drawers provide drawer storage space
• Dressing tables for extra storage and often including a large mirror.

Sleeping two people in a double bed

A double size bed frame is designed for couples sleeping, fitting perfectly into large or small double bedrooms and big single bedrooms, too.

While double beds don’t offer as much space for couples as queen size beds, king size beds, or super king beds, they provide suitable dimensions for two people to sleep comfortably side by side. If the two parties are restless sleepers and the bedroom is big enough, the extra width afforded by a queen size bed may provide a better night’s sleep for both.

What are the dimensions of a double bed?

It is important to know the dimensions of the room and the bed before you put the two together! Remember you may need to allow space for additional bedroom furniture such as bedside tables or a chest of drawers.

A standard double bed mattress measures 138.5cm wide x 190cm long. A double bed mattress base or frame will be slightly bigger, the exact measurements depending on the style of bed.

Double bed vs queen bed

A double bed is smaller than a queen bed. A standard double bed size is 138.5cm x 190cm, whereas a standard queen size bed is much wider and longer, measuring 152.5cm x 203cm.

You can use a queen bed top sheet and quilt cover set on a double bed to provide greater coverage down the sides and at the foot of the bed, which makes it warmer in winter. If two people are sleeping together, choosing bed linen in the next size up can prevent one party from hogging all the bedcovers!

The right time for a double bed

A double bed is a great way to transition your older child or teen into a bigger sleep space when they outgrow their single bed. It is a perfect size for sleeping solo and for couples too.

The right age to up-size to a double bed is a matter of personal preference. Often the decision to move from a single bed to a double bed is more about:

1. the level of comfort required
2. the amount of space available in the bedroom
3. lifestyle choices, and,
4. budget.

These are the considerations that often determine when the right time (or age) is to move from a single bed to a double bed. Be sure to check out our range of kids’ beds to explore all sizing options.

Double beds with storage

A double storage bed comes in two types – gas lift and drawer access. Both types have a base with two or three compartments inside them. A storage bed allows access to the compartments via pull-out drawers whereas a gas lift bed lifts the mattress and upper frame.

If you’re short on storage space or floor space, double bed storage drawers and gas lift storage beds can provide a significant amount of extra storage space for clothes, linen or whatever you need without adding another piece of furniture into the room.

Double bed vs twin bed

The term ‘twin bed’ refers to a pair of single beds, and a double bed is wider than one single bed, although the same length.

Twin singles provide the flexibility to either be used as two individual, single beds or pushed together and made up to create one double bed. As a single bed measures 91.5cm wide, a pair of twin singles pushed together is equivalent to the width of a king size bed.

What is the average size of a double bed?

In Australia, a standard double bed mattress measures 138.5cm wide x 190cm long. However, a double bed frame is likely to be a little larger than the mattress depending on the style of bed you choose, particularly if you go for an upholstered fabric or timber frame.

What features to look for when buying a double bed?

The main features to look for when buying a double bed are whether the size fits your room and whether the frame you choose matches your existing home decor. Amart has a beautiful range of timber, leather-look, metal and fabric beds to suit your style and budget.
