Size Guide

Choosing the right size of bed and mattress can be confusing - this guide aims to make bed and mattress sizes as clear as possible.

We now supply all our mattresses with matching divan bases - check the 'divan base' tabs on each mattress page for details.

Bed frame sizes

Bed frame sizes are measured by the size of mattress that they fit. For example, a bed frame described as a 4ft 6 (double) bed frame will take a standard UK double mattress.

If you need exact dimensions for the overall size of a given bed frame, please contact us at info@bedandmattress.co.uk or call us on 01243 775151 and we will endeavour to answer your query.
