4ft Small Double Beds

What Is a 4ft Double Bed?

Also known as a three-quarter bed, the 4ft double bed measures 4 feet wide (120cm) and 6 feet 3 inches long (190cm). It sits neatly between a large single and a full double, offering a middle ground when space or budget is tight.

Why Choose a 4ft Bed?

A small double bed is popular with single adults who like plenty of space to move around. It is a foot wider than a standard single offers, but doesn't take up as much space as a double bed or the larger king size or super king size. This size bed has plenty of space to move freely, which is ideal if you turn a lot during the night or do not like feeling hemmed in. Small double divan beds give you plenty of room to move, while also fitting into rooms on the smaller side.

While a small double is narrow for two adults, it is large enough for two people to sleep side by side.  A 4ft bed is ideal when you need space for two, but your room won’t quite take a full double. It’s also a popular upgrade for older teenagers, students, and renters.

Pros:

• Space-saving: Fits in smaller rooms where a standard double would feel cramped.
• Comfortable for one, usable for two: Great for solo sleepers who like room to stretch, and usable by couples if needed.
• Budget-friendly: Often cheaper than full-size doubles, and many cheap small double beds with mattress included offer great value.
• Stylish options available: From ottoman storage bases to upholstered headboards, you’ll find plenty of choice.

Cons:

• Tight for two: While two people can share, it might feel snug for long-term use.
• Shopping for bedding: You’ll need to make sure your fitted sheets are labelled for 4ft beds or small doubles.

Who Are Small Double Beds Best Suited For?

• Teenagers or students who want to upgrade from a single.
• Solo sleepers who need more room.
• Guest rooms where space is limited.
• Couples in small flats or short-term arrangements.
• Buyers on a budget looking for the cheapest small double bed that still offers comfort and durability.

Types of Small Double Bed Frames

Whether you need extra storage, a minimalist frame, or something soft and stylish, there’s a 4ft bed base to match your needs.

Divan bed bases are a compact and practical choice. They sit lower to the ground and our divans include optional drawers built into the base, making them ideal for rooms where floor space is limited. If storage is a priority, ottoman beds offer even more room with lift-up bases that reveal hidden compartments – perfect for storing bedding, shoes or seasonal clothes.

If comfort and design matter to you, you won't find anything better than our upholstered bed frames. With padded headboards and soft-touch finishes in a wide range of colours, they’re as attractive as they are cosy.
