Single ottoman bed dimensions
A UK single mattress is 3ft wide and 6ft 3in long (90 x 190cm). Our single ottoman frames are a little larger than the mattress:
- Standard single frame: 100cm wide x 212cm long
- Wingback single frame: usually around 110cm wide, as the wings add extra width. Some designs differ, so check the size table on each bed.
- Single ottoman bases without a headboard, such as the Nora and Lena, are 100 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 single ottoman bed fit my room?
As a rough guide, a single bed sits comfortably in a box room or child's room of about 2.2m x 2.7m or larger, with around 60cm free on the open side. 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, our short length Pia base, which is only 4cm longer than the mattress, could be a better fit.
Why choose a single ottoman?
A single ottoman bed is ideal for children's rooms, teenagers, box rooms and guest rooms. Single rooms are often the smallest in the house, so the storage underneath really earns its keep, with space for spare bedding, toys, school things and out-of-season clothes, and no gap under the bed for things to get lost in.
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.
