Choosing a new bed is exciting—but it can also feel overwhelming. With so many options available, one of the most important decisions you’ll make is the bed size. Get it wrong, and you might end up with a bed that feels cramped or, worse, too big for your room. Get it right, and you’ll enjoy years of restful sleep and a perfectly balanced bedroom space.
At Soft Sleep Bed, we provide a wide range of bed sizes across the UK, from compact singles to spacious super kings. This guide will help you pick the right one for your lifestyle, space, and comfort.
Your bed is the centrepiece of your bedroom. Beyond its appearance, size influences:
Comfort – Enough space to sleep without feeling restricted.
Room layout – Adequate walking space around your bed.
Storage options – Some sizes allow for more storage capacity.
Future use – A bed that works for your needs for years to come.

Always measure your bedroom before ordering a bed. Leave at least 60–70cm of walking space around the bed for comfort and practicality.
Single sleepers can enjoy anything from a single to a king, depending on space.
Couples should consider a double as a minimum—but most prefer king or super king for long-term comfort.
Families with children who co-sleep often benefit from a super king.
Think about bedside tables, wardrobes, and walking space. A bed should enhance your bedroom, not overwhelm it.
Ottoman beds lift up to reveal generous hidden storage.
Divan bases offer drawer configurations (2–4 drawers).
The larger the bed, the more storage options you’ll gain.
Beds last many years. Even if your current space is small, consider if you might move into a larger home. Investing in a king or super king might future-proof your comfort.
Did you know that bed size directly impacts sleep quality? Research shows that couples sleep better with more space. Tossing and turning can disturb your partner, but with a king or super king, both sleepers enjoy more freedom.
For children, a single bed is often enough, but as they grow, upgrading to a small double ensures comfort into teenage years.
Your bed size influences the style of your entire bedroom.
Small rooms: Go for lighter colours and compact beds like singles or small doubles.
Medium rooms: Double or king sizes balance comfort and style.
Large rooms: A super king becomes the perfect centrepiece, adding grandeur and elegance.
Pairing your bed size with a tall headboard can make the room feel even more luxurious.
Measure twice, buy once – Always confirm space for both bed and other furniture.
Plan for storage – Decide between Ottoman, divan, or standard bases.
Think about your future needs – Growing families often need more space.
Don’t compromise on sleep comfort – Bigger is almost always better if space allows.
Style matters – Match your bed size with your headboard height and bedroom décor.
