Upgrade to a classic UK double bed. Our 4ft 6in frames combine timeless British craftsmanship with modern style. Perfect for couples and master bedrooms.
The standard double bed is the cornerstone of the UK home for a reason. Measuring 135cm wide (4ft 6in), it offers the ideal proportions for couples to sleep comfortably or for solo sleepers to enjoy an expansive, luxurious space. It is the size that turns a bedroom into a sanctuary, providing a generous sleeping surface without requiring the footprint of a larger King Size Bed.
Our collection of double beds is designed for those who appreciate the finer details. We focus on creating frames that are as much pieces of furniture as they are places to rest. From the height of the headboard to the finish of the feet, every element is considered to ensure your bed remains a timeless centrepiece for years to come.
Why our double beds stand apart
Uncompromising structural integrity
A double bed needs to support two adults night after night. While smaller Single Beds or Small Double Beds are great for guest rooms, the standard double is built for the daily rigours of a master bedroom. We ensure our frames are up to the task by using traditional construction methods.
Heavy-Duty Framework: We utilise solid timber and reinforced metal fixings to ensure the frame stays silent and stable, regardless of how often you move in your sleep.
The Perfect Foundation: To get the most out of your frame, pair it with one of our Double Mattresses, which are specifically engineered to sit flush within these 4ft 6in dimensions.
Aesthetics tailored to your taste
Your bed should reflect your personal style. Our range spans from the traditional to the contemporary:
The Upholstered Look: We offer a vast library of fabrics, including stain-resistant velvets and textured bouclés. Each bed is upholstered by skilled craftspeople to ensure a smooth, premium finish.
Statement Headboards: Whether you prefer a dramatic high-back wing bed or a simple, understated panel design, our headboards provide a sturdy and comfortable backrest for lounging.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the bed frames compatible with all mattress types?
Yes, the bed frames are designed to be compatible with a wide range of mattress types. Whether you prefer a traditional innerspring mattress, a plush memory foam mattress, a supportive latex mattress, or even a hybrid mattress combining different materials, the bed frames provide a suitable foundation for all. Their sturdy construction and versatile design ensure that they can support the weight and structure of various mattress types, offering you flexibility and peace of mind when choosing your preferred mattress for a comfortable night's sleep.
How much weight can the bed frame support?
The weight capacity of the bed frames varies depending on the specific model and size. Generally, these bed frames are designed to support a significant amount of weight, typically ranging from 500 to 1000 pounds or more, depending on factors such as the materials used in construction and the frame's design. For precise information about the weight capacity of a particular model, it's best to refer to the product specifications provided with the product.
Do the bed frames come with a warranty?
Yes, these typically come with a manufacturer's warranty to provide assurance and protection for your purchase. The specific details of the warranty, including its duration and coverage, may vary depending on the model and region. It's common for warranties to cover manufacturing defects and structural issues that may arise during normal use of the bed frame.
Can I use a headboard with the bed frame?
Yes, many models are compatible with headboards. Some bed frames come with pre-drilled holes or attachment points specifically designed to accommodate headboards, allowing you to easily attach a headboard of your choice to personalise your bedroom decor. However, it's essential to check the specifications of the specific bed frame model you're interested in to ensure compatibility with a headboard. If the bed frame is compatible, you can then choose a headboard that complements your style and preferences to complete the look of your bed and bedroom. If you already own a headboard or plan to purchase one separately, make sure to verify its compatibility with the bed frame before making a purchase. If you have any questions or need assistance with compatibility, you can reach out to WinkSleep's customer support for guidance and clarification.
Can I use a headboard and footboard with any bed frame?
Not all bed frames are designed to accommodate both headboards and footboards. While many bed frames do have provisions for attaching a headboard, not all of them have corresponding attachment points for a footboard. If you desire both a headboard and a footboard, it's essential to select a bed frame specifically designed to support both. These bed frames typically have attachment points at both the head and foot of the frame to secure both pieces securely. Before purchasing a bed frame to use both a headboard and footboard, be sure to check the product specifications or consult with the manufacturer to ensure compatibility with your desired setup. This ensures that you can achieve the look and functionality you desire for your bed and bedroom space.
How do I clean and maintain my bed frame?
Cleaning and maintaining your bed frame can help prolong its lifespan and keep it looking its best. Here are some general tips for cleaning and maintaining your bed frame: Regular Dusting: Dust your bed frame regularly with a soft cloth or a vacuum cleaner attachment to remove dust and debris that can accumulate over time. Pay attention to crevices and corners where dust may collect. Spot Cleaning: For minor stains or spills, spot-clean the affected area immediately with a mild detergent and warm water. Use a soft cloth or sponge to gently scrub the stain, then rinse with clean water and pat dry with a towel. Deep Cleaning: Periodically deep clean your bed frame by wiping it down with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the entire surface of the bed frame, including the headboard, footboard, and side rails. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly with a towel. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on your bed frame, as they can damage the finish or material. Stick to mild detergents and gentle cleaning solutions to ensure the longevity of your bed frame. By following these simple tips, you can keep your bed frame clean, well-maintained, and looking its best for years to come. Check out of Bed Buying Guide for more details.
How quickly will my Nectar mattress arrive, and will it come with my bed frame?
Nectar mattresses are dispatched directly from the supplier and typically arrive within 3–5 working days. Please note that if you have also ordered a bed frame, the mattress will arrive as a separate delivery to ensure the fastest possible shipping.
What is the delivery lead time for Sleepeezee mattresses?
Sleepeezee mattresses have a delivery lead time of approximately 3–4 weeks. If you purchase a bed frame in the same order, please be aware that the mattress will be delivered separately from the frame.
What are the dimensions of a standard double bed?
A UK double bed fits a 135cm x 190cm (4ft 6in x 6ft 3in) mattress. If you find this a bit tight for two people, you might want to explore our King Size options, but for most UK bedrooms, the 4ft 6in is the perfect "Goldilocks" fit.
Will a double bed fit in a guest room?
A 4ft 6in double is the standard choice for a master bedroom, but it can also work beautifully in larger guest rooms. If space is at a premium, our Small Double Beds offer a slightly narrower alternative that still accommodates two people.
Do I need a specific type of mattress for these frames?
Our frames are designed to be compatible with all standard UK Mattresses, including pocket sprung, memory foam, and hybrid models. The flat, sturdy base ensures that whatever mattress you choose will perform at its best.
Is it easy to move a double bed frame into the house?
Yes. Our bed frames are delivered in sections to ensure they can be navigated through standard UK hallways. Once in the room of your choice, the assembly is straightforward and can usually be completed in under an hour.
