Super King

The small double bed, often affectionately known as the 'Queen' size in the UK, is the ultimate problem-solver for the modern home. Measuring 120cm wide, it sits perfectly between a standard single and a full double. It is the go-to choice for those who want the luxury of a shared sleeping space without overwhelming a smaller bedroom.

Whether you are furnishing a compact master suite, a premium guest room, or giving a teenager the upgrade they've been asking for, our 4ft beds provide that essential extra bit of wiggle room. It offers 30cm more width than a single, which makes a world of difference to your sleep quality without cramping your floor plan.

Why the 4ft small double is a British favourite

Smart proportions for modern living

In many UK homes, bedrooms can be awkwardly shaped or narrow. Our small double frames are designed to tuck into alcoves or sit comfortably in rooms where a 4ft 6in bed would block a walkway or a wardrobe door. By saving those few precious centimetres on either side, you create a room that feels open, airy, and functional.

Exceptional British craftsmanship

We take pride in the build quality of our collection. Every frame is a result of meticulous design:

Tailored Upholstery: Our beds are wrapped in high-quality fabrics, from textured weaves to indulgent velvets. Each seam is finished by hand to ensure a crisp, high-end look.

Durable Support Systems: We use high-tensile slats and central support rails to ensure your mattress stays level. This prevents sagging and ensures the bed remains silent and sturdy for years.

Bespoke Headboard Designs: From classic button-back styles to contemporary minimalist lines, our headboards act as a comfortable backrest for those slow Sunday mornings.

Storage without compromise

If your bedroom is short on cupboard space, our small double range includes clever storage options. Our ottoman lift beds provide a vast, easy-to-access compartment beneath the mattress. This is ideal for hiding away suitcases, spare duvets, or seasonal clothing, keeping your sanctuary clutter-free.

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.

Is a 4ft bed big enough for a couple?

Yes, it is. While a standard double offers more room, a 4ft small double is a very popular choice for couples who have a smaller bedroom. It is also the gold standard for guest rooms where you want to offer a comfortable night's sleep for two people without taking up all the floor space.

What size mattress do I need for a small double bed?

You will need a standard UK small double mattress, which measures 120cm x 190cm (4ft x 6ft 3in). Standard double mattresses will be too wide for these frames, so it is important to match the sizes correctly.

Will my bedroom look too crowded with a small double?

The beauty of the 4ft bed is its ability to fit where others can't. If you have at least 60cm of walking space around the sides of the bed, a small double will usually sit comfortably in the room without making it feel cramped.

Are these beds easy to assemble?

Our frames are designed for straightforward home assembly. We provide clear instructions and all the necessary fixings. Many of our customers find that two people can have the bed ready for use in a very short amount of time.
