Double ottoman bed dimensions
A UK double mattress is 4ft 6in wide and 6ft 3in long (137 x 190cm). Our double ottoman frames are a little larger than the mattress:
- Standard double frame: 145cm wide x 212cm long
- Wingback double frame: usually around 155cm wide, as the wings add extra width. Some designs differ, so check the size table on each bed.
- Double ottoman bases without a headboard, such as the Nora and Lena, are 145 x 199cm, and the space-saving Pia is just 194cm long.
Headboard heights vary by design, from low headboards that fit under a window up to extra tall 210cm statement headboards. Full measurements are on every product page, and our UK bed sizes guide compares every size.
Will a double ottoman bed fit my room?
As a rough guide, a double bed sits comfortably in a room of about 2.7m x 3m or larger, with around 60cm free on each side for walking and bedside tables. Because our ottomans lift from the foot end, also leave space at the foot of the bed so you can stand and reach into the storage. If your room is tight, a 4ft Small Double or our short length Pia base could be a better fit.
Why choose a double ottoman?
The 4ft6 double is the UK's most popular bed size. It suits couples and anyone who likes room to stretch out, and fits most main and second bedrooms. The ottoman base turns the whole space under the mattress into storage for duvets, pillows, towels and out-of-season clothes, so you can free up wardrobe and cupboard space.
Built to last
Every frame is triple-reinforced with heavy-duty steel bars and sits flat on the floor with no legs, so it stays solid and quiet. The storage area has a solid base, and smooth gas struts lift the mattress platform from the foot end. Read more about why a reinforced frame matters.
