What is a small double bed?

A small double bed is a slightly narrower version of the standard double bed and is often referred to as a three-quarter or queen size bed. It’s a great middle-ground between a traditional single bed & a double bed and a handy choice if you are looking for a bed that has ample sleeping space but doesn’t take up too much space in a bedroom.

A small double bed can act as a vital stepping stone to a traditional double bed; it is great to give a child more space whilst not having to commit to the size of a double. Small doubles are also great when looking to save on space; sometimes a double bed may be too big for a bedroom or just overwhelm the space. In this instance, a small double bed is perfect.

What size is a small double bed?

A typical small double bed size is 120cm wide x 190cm length (metric measurements) or 4′ wide x 6’3″ length (imperial measurements). This is 30cm or 1′ wider than a typical single bed and 15cm or 6′ shorter than a typical double bed.

What size duvet do you need for a small double bed?

Small double beds require a unique small double duvet size; these specially sized duvets fit perfectly but can be hard to come by as only a handful of specialist retailers do them. For lots of small double beds, you can avoid the extra unnecessary headache by opting for a double duvet; although slightly bigger, double duvets will do the job for most small double beds.
