Single Beds

What size is a single bed?

A standard UK single bed measures approximately 3 feet (91cm) in width and 6 feet 3 inches (190cm) in length. These measurements may vary slightly depending on the type of single bed frame or any added features like headboards and footboards. Perfect for children’s rooms and guest bedrooms, single beds are a fantastic choice for box rooms or spaces where every inch counts. Not sure if it’ll fit?
