What Is Size of Double Bed in cm?

A UK double bed mattress measures 135cm wide by 190cm long, and this guide explains what that means in practice for your room. We set out the full UK size chart in centimetres, from small single through to super king, and explain why the continental 140cm double causes so much bedding confusion for online buyers. There is practical guidance on the floor clearance a double needs, how to measure a loft or dormer room at mattress height rather than skirting level, and which duvet and fitted sheet sizes actually match. We also cover matching bedside cabinets, wardrobes and drawers to the space that remains, when a small double makes better sense, and how to check delivery access....

Beds sold as queen in the UK are usually kings at 150cm by 200cm, while imported American queens measure 152cm by 203cm, a difference of only a couple of centimetres. This guide lays out every British bed size in centimetres, explains where the queen label came from and why the gap between a double and a king was never filled. It also covers the room dimensions a king genuinely needs, how frame style and colour change the way a large bed reads in a small space, and how to buy bedding by measurement rather than by name so nothing arrives the wrong size....
