Double Bed Frames

About

Double bed frames are the size most Australian bedrooms land on when a single feels cramped and a queen would crowd the room. Early Settler's range covers timber, powder-coated iron and upholstered designs, so the frame can work with the room rather than fight it. Early Settler’s double bed frames bring together considered designs for bedrooms of different sizes and styles, making it easier to choose a frame that feels at home in your space. What are the dimensions of a double bed base? 138 x 188cm is the standard size of an Australian double mattress , though the frame around it always takes up more floor space. Across our collection, double bed frames measure 144 to 156cm wide and 195 to 207cm deep, so the footprint varies noticeably between designs. That extra width often comes from details such as upholstered sides or posts. Check the measurements of the individual frame before buying rather than assuming every double frame has the same overall footprint. Is a double bed for 1 or 2 people? Double beds are most comfortable for one adult who wants genuine room to stretch out. It also works for two people who sleep close together or in a room that cannot fit anything larger, though two adults who like more space will find it tight. Day to day, doubles suit guest rooms, teenagers moving up from a single bed frame , second bedrooms, and main bedrooms in inner-city apartments. Apartment bedrooms are usually built to a tighter footprint than a standalone home, and a queen or king can end up running close to wall-to-wall. A double fits that same room with clear floor left over, so you can open a wardrobe, get to both sides of the bed, and still fit a bedside table. We have been fitting beds into Australian bedrooms since 1985, and the pattern holds: people rarely regret a bed being slightly smaller, but they do regret a room that only works if nobody moves. We would rather say that plainly than have you work it out after delivery. How does a double compare to a queen be
