What’s a Standard Double Bed Size?

A standard double bed in Britain measures 135 cm wide by 190 cm long, or 4 ft 6 in by 6 ft 3 in, and it remains the most widely bought size in the country.

There is guidance too on the centre support and slat spacing a double frame needs, and the access checks worth making before you order....

There is clear guidance on splitting a budget between frame and mattress, planning for bedside cabinets and wardrobes in a matching finish, and the smaller costs like deep fitted sheets that are easy to overlook. We also cover timing, delivery access checks and what to confirm before ordering....
