What size is a small double bed?
4ft small double beds, also known as queen-size bed frames in the UK, are slightly smaller than your standard double bed, measuring 3ft by 6.3ft compared to a standard double’s 4.6ft by 6.3ft.
Naturally, this means that a small double bed with a mattress is slightly narrower than a double, but even with this smaller stature, most ¾ bed options are big enough to comfortably fit two people – if anything, small double mattresses make for a cosier sleeping environment!
What are the benefits of a small double bed?
Despite their smaller size, there are plenty of benefits that come with getting a small double bed, especially if you’re looking for a double bed on a budget that you can enjoy all to yourself.
For example, small double beds are the perfect choice if you want a little bit of extra sleeping room but you’re limited on bedroom floor space, as well as if you need a comfortable sleeping option for your guest room.
And, naturally, if you are tight on floor space, then you can still benefit from extra bedroom storage by investing in a small double ottoman bed or a 4ft divan bed frame option, both of which can help to negate the loss of floor area taken up by your new bed.

How much do small double beds cost?
As you may expect, the smaller stature of queen-size beds makes them far more affordable to purchase than larger doubles and king-size bed alternatives – it’s certainly the case for the small doubles beds we have in the MattressNextDay range!
For those on a budget, we offer queen-size beds as low as £150, while our more premium models and brands cap out at a respectable £500! In other words, there’s a small double bed frame option out there for every bedroom.
