Frequently asked questions

What does double bed mean?A double bed is a bed that is wide enough for two people to sleep in. Dimensions of 139cm wide by 191cm long.
-
Is a double mattress good for 2 people?Yes, a double bed has been considered the gold standard bed size for couples, and can definitely sleep two. However, some couples may find a queen or king size mattress is their perfect fit.
-
Is a double bed to big for one person?If you have a bedroom that is not too spacious but still want a comfortable bed, then a double bed will be an ideal option for an adult or teenager, who has a spacious sleeping space without taking up too much space in the bedroom.
-
What's better a single or a double bed?More space to spread out: double beds are larger in width (139 x 191cm) than a single bed (91 x 191cm), though a single bed is more ideal for one person to sleep in rather than two and a double bed will be more suitable for small apartments or spare rooms.
-
Is a double bed the same as a queen?No, a queen size bed is 13cm wider and 11cm longer than a double bed. A double (or full) bed used to be the gold standard for couples until the queen size mattress came along. Now, double beds are mostly used by single people.
