Double Beds

Maximise Comfort Without Overspending on Double Beds

There’s nothing like stretching out on a bed that gives you room to breathe. That's why a double bed is a staple in modern Australian homes. It offers comfort without taking up all your floor space, making it ideal for couples, solo sleepers, and even growing teens.

At Amart, you’ll find an extensive range of double bed frames built to last, designed to look good, and priced so you don’t have to overspend. From upholstered beds with soft headboards to gas lift storage options, our collection has the perfect double bed to suit your home and lifestyle.

What size is a double bed in Australia?

The standard double bed size in Australia is about 138 cm wide and 188 cm long. This makes it wider than a king-single bed but smaller than a queen-size bed.

A standard double bed gives one person a generous room to spread out. But two adults can also share it comfortably if they don’t mind a snug fit. It’s a step up from single beds, but won’t dominate your room the way a king-size bed or super king bed might.

Why choose a double bed frame?

A double bed offers benefits beyond just giving you a comfortable place to sleep. Choosing this size means you’ll enjoy:

• Comfort for solo sleepers who like more room and couples who want a snug fit
• Better use of floor space compared to larger queen-size or king-size beds
• Versatility for guest rooms, teens, or smaller master bedrooms
• An affordable option that still delivers a restful night’s sleep
• A wide choice of bedroom furniture pairings, like bedside tables, dressers, and bookcases

How to pick a double bed that lasts

Your bed is one of the most used pieces of furniture in your home, so durability matters. Here’s what to look for in a bed that goes the distance:

• Materials: Timber frames and powder-coated metal generally last longer, while upholstered options add comfort and style with durable fabrics. 
• Support: Look for slatted bases with centre rails and support legs for extra strength.
• Weight capacity: Check the load rating, especially if two sleepers will use the bed.

At Amart, our range of double bed frames is designed with sturdy construction and quality finishes. They also come backed by warranty for peace of mind.

Choosing a style that works with your space

Your bed is the centrepiece of your bedroom, so the right style makes a big difference.

If you want a minimalist look, a low-profile bed base or timber frame works beautifully. For a touch of comfort, an upholstered bed with a padded headboard creates a cosy spot to sit back and read. Boucle beds add texture, while panelled bedheads bring structure.

With options that suit both compact guest rooms and larger master bedrooms, you’ll find the perfect fit at Amart.

Practical touches worth considering

Sometimes the little extras make the biggest impact. Double beds at Amart include features that make everyday living easier, such as:

• Gas lift storage: A gas lift bed lets you raise the bed base and store bulky items under the mattress.
• Storage drawers: Built-in underbed storage gives you space for linen, mattress protectors, and toppers.
• Smart bedheads: Some bedheads come with shelves or hidden compartments for added convenience.

These practical touches make your new bed more than just a place to sleep — they help you make the most of your floor space too.

What mattress can fit a double bed?

A standard double mattress is designed to fit perfectly on a double bed frame. It measures 138 cm by 188 cm, making it smaller than queen beds but bigger than single mattresses. At Amart, you can choose from different mattress types depending on your sleep style:

• Innerspring: Great for sleepers who like firm support
• Memory foam: Ideal if you prefer contouring comfort
• Hybrid: A balance of support and softness
• Latex: A breathable option for hot sleepers

For growing kids or teens, pairing a double bed with mattress toppers can add comfort as they get older.

Styling tips to make the most of your bedroom space

Once you’ve picked your new bed, it’s time to style your room. Here are some tips to get started:

• Position your bed against the longest wall or under a window. This opens up floor space and creates better flow.
• Use mirrors to expand the room. A tall mirror behind or beside the bed reflects light and makes your space feel bigger and brighter.
• Play with bedding layers. Stick to lighter colours to open up the room. Add a textured throw and a couple of cushions to bring depth without clutter.
• Choose furniture in similar tones to create a cohesive bedroom furniture set.

With the right styling, even a standard double bed can feel like a centrepiece in your space.
