Collection: Double Beds

Double Beds — The Right Size for the Right Room

Not every bedroom needs a queen, and pretending otherwise is how rooms end up crowded. At 138cm × 188cm, the double bed is the honest answer for the guest room, the teenager's room ready for its grown-up upgrade, and the compact second bedroom where a queen would leave no room to walk. Elegant Collections' double beds bring the same standards as our larger frames — velvet and timber designs, including gas lift storage options, in styles that carry across sizes so bedrooms can match through the house.

Pair with: a premium mattress | bedside tables | designer cushions & throws | the kids collection.

Visit our Melbourne showrooms or Sydney showroom to compare sizes side by side. Open 7 days, no appointment needed.

Will a Double Bed Fit Your Room?

The mattress: 138cm wide × 188cm long — 15cm narrower and 15cm shorter than a queen. The frame adds to this; check the frame dimensions on each product page.

The room: A double works comfortably in bedrooms from about 2.8m × 3m, keeping walkways clear where a queen would squeeze them.

Who it suits: Guest rooms (comfortable for couples staying a night or two), teenagers (a serious upgrade from a single that still leaves floor space), and adults in compact rooms who value walking space over sleeping width.

Double or Queen — Which Should You Buy?

For the main bedroom shared by a couple every night, a queen (153cm wide) is usually worth the extra 15cm — most couples notice the difference. For every other room in the house, the double is often the smarter buy: guests are comfortable, the room breathes, and the budget goes further. If height matters more than width, note that doubles and king singles share the same 188–203cm length range — check each product's specs.

Frequently Asked Questions — Double Beds

What are the dimensions of a double bed in Australia?
A double mattress is 138cm wide × 188cm long. Frames add width and length depending on the bedhead design — always check frame dimensions on the product page.

Is a double bed big enough for two adults?
For guests staying a few nights, comfortably. For a couple sleeping in it every night, most find the extra 15cm of a queen worth having. Each sleeper on a double gets 69cm of width — about the same as a single cot.

What room size do I need for a double bed?
From about 2.8m × 3m, allowing 55–60cm of walkway on the open sides. It's the size that keeps compact bedrooms functional.

Should I buy a double or king single for a teenager?
A double if the room is wide enough and sleepovers are common; a king single if the room is narrow — it gives the same generous length in a slimmer footprint.

How long does delivery take?
