Choosing the right bed size is about more than just fitting into a room—it’s about how you move, how you sleep, and how much "personal bubble" you need. Use our guide below to find the dimensions that fit your lifestyle.

Which Size Should You Choose?

  • The "Starfish" Sleeper: If you sleep alone but like to spread out, a Small Double (often called a Queen in the UK) offers that extra width without taking up too much floor space.

  • The Taller Sleeper: If you are over 6ft tall, we highly recommend a King Size or larger. These are cm long, giving you that vital extra legroom so your feet don't hang over the edge.

  • The Golden Rule of Space: Always measure your room twice! We recommend leaving at least 60cm (2 feet) of walking space around the sides and foot of the bed to ensure your room feels airy rather than cramped.
