Factors the Quiz Considers
The quiz analyses your answers on room use, colour preference, storage needs, available space and materials. These directly affect which bed type will work best in practice. For example, a small bedroom under 3m x 3m benefits from slim profiles and integrated storage rather than large traditional frames.
Understanding UK Bed Sizes
Common UK sizes are small single 75x190cm (2ft6), single 90x190cm (3ft), small double 120x190cm (4ft), double 135x190cm (4ft6), king 150x200cm (5ft) and super king 180x200cm (6ft). EU sizes differ, such as EU double 140x200cm. Always measure your room and existing bedding before purchase.
Storage Solutions That Work
Ottoman beds and beds with drawers provide practical storage without taking extra floor space. Pair them with chest of drawers or bedside tables that match the bed height. In children's rooms, look for designs that meet safety standards rather than maximum storage volume.
Safety and Regulations for Children's Beds
All bunk beds sold in the UK must comply with BS EN 747. The top-bunk guard rail must rise at least 16cm above the mattress surface, so use the maximum mattress depth stated by the maker. Top bunks are not suitable for children under 6. All mattresses must meet the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988 and BS 7177.
Matching Furniture to Your Bed
Once the bed style is chosen, select complementary pieces. Modern looks pair well with simple wardrobes and mirrors. Traditional styles suit wooden chest of drawers and dressing tables. Children's rooms often need additional kids bedroom accessories for storage and play. Check each product page for exact dimensions, finishes and assembly requirements.

How accurate is this bedroom style quiz?
It gives a strong indication based on your stated preferences and room practicalities. Final choice should factor in exact measurements of your space and the specific product dimensions listed on each page.
Do I need to buy a new mattress with the bed?
Most frames can take your existing mattress if the size and depth are compatible. Check the bed maker's stated maximum mattress depth for bunk beds and ottomans. Single mattresses are 90x190cm; double are 135x190cm.
What safety standards apply to kids beds and bunk beds?
Bunk beds must meet BS EN 747 with guard rails at least 16cm above the mattress. Top bunks are not recommended for children under 6. All upholstered furniture and mattresses must comply with UK fire safety regulations.
How do I choose the right size bed for my room?
Allow at least 60cm clearance on each side for making the bed. A king size bed (150x200cm) needs a room at least 270cm wide. Measure carefully and check the exact dimensions on the product page.
