Make and create the bed of your dreams with a double bed from IKEA. We have a wide selection of double beds and double bed frames to suit every style, taste and living space. A double bed is often a central piece of furniture in a bedroom. It can take up a lot of space, and we spend a good amount of time in it. From sleepy mornings to relaxing evenings, a double bed is your best friend throughout many parts of the day. Choosing a double bed means taking into consideration your comfort preferences, sizing requirements, and personal style.
Standard double bed size
A standard double bed has a mattress that is 200 cm long and 140 cm wide. It’s not the biggest bed size, but still big enough for two people to share the bed space and sleep comfortably. A standard double bed frame will be both longer and wider than the mattress, so you’re going to have to consider that when measuring the space where you want to put the frame. Not sure a double bed is quite big enough? If you want an even bigger bed, take a look at our king size beds and super king size beds.
Built in storage – make use of your room
We don’t all have the luxury of space in our homes! For those of us with more compact living quarters, and cosier sized bedrooms or studio apartments, it sometimes feels like we must make do with a smaller bed to save on space. We get it – space is precious, and a standard sized double bed takes up a lot of it. But have you considered double bed frames with built in storage solutions? It’s exactly what it sounds like – your bed frame doubles up as storage space either in the headboard or below the mattress in the form of draws or shelves. The clever feature means you don’t have to compromise on space – and ensures important belongings are always within reach of your bed!
For example, a double bed frame with built in draws underneath could be practical for storing bedding sets, duvets or even clothes. And what about a bed frame that lets you flip up the bed base, so you can use the entire space underneath for storing your things? Even if you opt not to go with a double bed frame with storage solutions, a lot of our bed frames are high enough to slide boxes beneath.
