Discover a wide selection of double beds and bed frames designed to suit UK homes. Whether you’re furnishing a master bedroom, upgrading from a single bed, or creating a more comfortable guest room, our double bed frame collection includes styles to suit every space and interior. From practical ottoman storage beds to budget and premium upholstered double beds, finding the right combination of comfort, storage and style is simple at Bensons.
A double bed is one of the UK’s most popular bed sizes, offering more sleeping space than a single while still fitting comfortably into many bedrooms. Pair your chosen frame with a standard UK double mattress for the best fit and long-lasting support.
Every bedroom has different requirements, which is why our range includes everything from compact wooden double beds to feature-rich storage and tech-savvy designs. Whether you’re looking for a minimalist frame or a luxurious upholstered statement piece, there are plenty of options to explore.
Double beds are especially popular for couples, solo sleepers wanting extra room, and guest bedrooms where comfort is a priority without taking up as much floor space as a king size bed.
Understanding the different bed styles available can help you narrow down the best option for your bedroom and lifestyle.
Double ottoman beds combine sleeping comfort with hidden storage underneath the mattress base. By lifting the frame, you can access a spacious compartment ideal for storing spare bedding, clothes, towels or seasonal items.
Ottoman storage beds are particularly useful in bedrooms where space is limited, helping reduce the need for additional furniture. Assisted lifting mechanisms also make them practical for everyday use.
Divan double beds are built around a sturdy upholstered base and are often available with integrated storage drawers. A divan base is ideal if you want practical storage but prefer not to lift the mattress like an ottoman design.
Our double divan beds can also be customised with separate headboards, making it easy to tailor the look to your bedroom décor.
Upholstered double beds create a softer, more luxurious bedroom feel and are perfect for those who enjoy reading or watching TV in bed.
Wooden double bed frames offer timeless appeal and reassuring durability, with finishes ranging from natural oak to painted, more contemporary styles.
Metal double beds are lightweight, low-maintenance and versatile enough to suit both modern and traditional interiors.
Before choosing a new double bed, it’s important to measure your bedroom properly and think about how the bed will fit alongside your other furniture.
A standard UK double mattress measures 135 cm x 190 cm, offering considerably more width than a single bed while remaining practical for medium-sized bedrooms.
The overall dimensions of a double bed frame can vary depending on the design, headboard size and storage features, so always check individual measurements before ordering.
Double beds work well in many UK bedrooms, but it’s still important to leave enough clearance around the frame for movement and storage access.
Think about:
Although all double beds fit the same mattress size, some frames take up more floor space than others.
Deep upholstery, oversized headboards and integrated storage can all increase the external dimensions. Slimline metal and wooden double frames often have a smaller footprint, making them a good option for tighter rooms.
Storage can make a huge difference in keeping a bedroom organised. Double beds with drawers offer quick access to everyday essentials, while ottoman double beds maximise hidden storage beneath the mattress.
If you prefer a traditional frame, underbed storage boxes can also help make use of unused floor space.
The style of your headboard can completely change the look of your bedroom. Upholstered headboards create a softer, hotel-inspired feel, while wooden and metal styles offer a more classic appearance.
Some double bed frames also include sprung slats, reinforced support systems or built-in tech features for added practicality and comfort.
For the best sleep experience, pair your frame with a compatible double mattress. Choosing the correct mattress size helps ensure proper support and prevents movement or overhang.
At Bensons, you’ll find a wide range of double mattress types, including pocket sprung, memory foam, and hybrid mattresses.
Many double beds are also available as part of complete bed and mattress bundles for added convenience.
