What is the most popular bed size in the UK?

From solo snoozers to cozy couples, we all want a bed that fits our space, our needs, and of course—our sleep style. 

The Double bed, measuring 137cm x 190 cm (that’s 4'6" x 6'3" in old-school measurements), remains the top choice for UK sleepers. It strikes a perfect balance between space-saving and comfort, making it a go-to option for:

  • Couples in standard-sized rooms
  • Solo sleepers who like a little more wiggle room
  • Guest bedrooms
  • Teenagers transitioning to their “grown-up” bed

Bigger beds are on the rise!

While the Double bed still holds the crown today, there’s a growing trend of people upgrading to King Beds (150cm x 200 cm) and even Superking Beds (180cm x 200 cm) beds.

As more and more people are prioritising sleep comfort and modern bedrooms are being designed smarter, allowing space for bigger beds upgrading to king beds or superking beds becomes a no-brainer. 

With more couples working from home or spending extra time in bed the larger sleeping space is a welcome luxury. 

We handcraft all our beds at our Devon workshop, and can make your bed to any standard UK bed size, from Small Single to Emperor or a bespoke size and shape of your choice.
