What size is a single bed?

A single bed measures 90cm wide by 190cm long (3'0" x 6'3"), making it the most compact standard adult bed size in the UK. This size works well for children's rooms, guest bedrooms, student accommodation, or any space where floor area matters.

For more details, check our bed size guide.

Are single beds suitable for adults?

Yes, single beds work brilliantly for adults. They're ideal for compact bedrooms, studio flats, or spare rooms where you need to save space without compromising on sleep quality. Many adults choose single beds when living alone, furnishing guest rooms, or simply preferring the efficiency of a smaller bed.

Can two people sleep in a single bed?

Single beds are designed for one person. Two people can fit, but it will likely feel cramped unless you don’t mind close quarters. For comfortable sleep, we recommend at least a small double bed, or a double bed.

Types of single bed frames

Choose from a selection of single bed frames to suit your sleep style and needs.

• Single Ottoman Beds - These lift-up beds reveal generous storage underneath, accessed by raising the mattress with easy hydraulic mechanisms. Ottoman beds maximise bedroom space by storing bedding, clothing, or seasonal items out of sight.
• Single Divan Beds - Traditional divan beds feature a sturdy base, often with built-in drawers for extra storage. They come with options for matching headboards to complete the look.
• Single Day Beds - Versatile day beds function as sofas during the day and beds at night, perfect for dual-purpose rooms or home offices that double as guest spaces.
• Single Guest Beds - Our guest beds include trundle options where a second bed slides out from underneath, creating two sleeping spaces when needed and tucking away when not in use.
• Single Sofa Beds - Practical sofa beds combine comfortable seating with a hidden mattress that folds out for overnight guests, ideal for smaller homes.
• Single TV Beds - Luxury TV beds feature a built-in television at the foot end that rises at the touch of a button, bringing entertainment directly to your bedroom.
• Single Sleigh Beds - Elegant sleigh beds showcase curved headboards and footboards, adding a traditional, statement look to any bedroom.
• Single Adjustable Beds - For those needing customised comfort, adjustable beds let you raise the head or foot sections to find your perfect sleeping or reading position.
• Kids’ Single Kids - From classic high-sleeper beds to whimsical princess beds that transform the room into a fairytale, find single bed frames for every little dreamer. Kids' single beds offer playful designs and safety features for younger sleepers.

Can I get a single bed with storage?

Yes! You can choose from single beds with ottoman storage, which is easily accessed by lifting the mattress, or practical drawer options that make the most of limited space. Many of our single day beds also feature built-in drawers, ideal for storing extra bedding, clothes, and books while keeping your room clutter-free.

• Leather Single Beds - Refined leather beds add sophistication and are easy to maintain. Wipe clean and use leather conditioner to prevent cracking.

What is the difference between a single and a small single bed?

A single bed takes a 90 x 190cm mattress, while a small single takes a 75 x 190cm mattress. Both are 190cm long, so the small single is 15cm narrower and suits smaller rooms and children.
