Ideal for adults, but also for children as they grow into teenagers. A double bed with clever storage built in can make a small bedroom work much harder. Our range includes ottoman beds, where the whole base lifts to reveal a deep storage space underneath, as well as double beds with fitted drawers — both good options for stashing bedding, clothes or belongings without needing extra furniture in the room.

These double beds are built by the same trusted European manufacturers as the rest of our range, using FSC® certified wood and constructed to last through the teenage years and into early adulthood. We're an authorised UK dealer, so every bed comes with a genuine manufacturer warranty, free delivery on a specialist carrier, and an optional home assembly service.

Ottoman lift-up storage beds

The whole base lifts on a gas-strut mechanism to reveal a deep storage space spanning almost the full size of the bed — usually more capacity than fitted drawers, and it keeps the room looking uncluttered since nothing is visible underneath.

Double beds with drawers

A more traditional storage layout — individual drawers and cubby holes built into the base, so you can access what you need without lifting the whole bed.

Double or small double?

A UK double mattress measures 135 x 190cm, while a small double (also called a "four-foot" bed) measures 120 x 190cm — 25cm narrower, which can be the difference between fitting comfortably in a teenager's room and overwhelming it. Measure the room width before choosing, allowing space to walk around the bed and open any wardrobe or drawers nearby.

Double beds: common questions

What's the difference between an ottoman bed and a bed with drawers?

An ottoman bed lifts the entire base for one large storage space; a bed with drawers gives you smaller, individually accessible compartments. Ottomans generally hold more, while drawers are quicker to access day to day.

Is a small double suitable for an adult?

Yes — at 120 x 190cm it's a popular choice for guest rooms and smaller adult bedrooms, as well as teenagers moving up from a single.

What size mattress does a double bed need?

A standard UK double is 135 x 190cm; a small double is 120 x 190cm. The exact size is stated on each product page.
