A quality double bed becomes the heart of your bedroom, combining restful comfort with design features that elevate your space.
This is a collaborative post
Choosing your new bed means deciding what works best for your needs—a complete divan bed with its premium mattress already matched or a standalone frame that lets you pair it with your ideal mattress.
Your perfect double bed might be an ornate metal showpiece, a minimalist wooden frame, or a tech-savvy design with entertainment built-in.
Join us below for some fantastic double bed picks.
Bed frames
Timberland Ottoman Bed in Natural
Beneath this sophisticated shaker-style frame lies a clever storage solution. The hydraulic lift mechanism glides smoothly, revealing a spacious compartment for all your bedroom essentials. Natural wood grain shines through the varnished finish, while clean lines ensure this versatile piece complements any decor style.
Birlea Atlas Metal Bed Frame in Black
Antique brass finials crown this elegant metal frame, adding vintage charm to your bedroom. Decorative details flow through the headboard and footboard, creating a dramatic presence without overwhelming your space. The powder-coated black finish protects the robust metal construction while offering timeless appeal.
Limelight Rosa Fabric Frame in Natural
Hotel-suite luxury meets home comfort in this sophisticated fabric frame. The multi-buttoned headboard rolls back elegantly, while dark wood feet add a refined touch. Natural upholstery softens the statement design, creating an inviting centrepiece for your bedroom.
Hidden within this leather-finished frame lies a complete entertainment system. Your 43-inch TV (sold separately) rises silently from the footboard at the touch of a button, complemented by integrated surround sound. USB charging points and Bluetooth connectivity bring modern convenience.
Beds with mattress
True craftsmanship shines through every detail of this heritage masterpiece.

Hand-stitched borders maximise your sleeping area, while the divan base conceals practical storage.
Award-winning design meets innovative materials in this contemporary sleep system. Copper-infused memory foam regulates temperature, while 800 pocket springs provide targeted support. The fully encapsulated edges prevent roll-off, and multiple storage options in the base let you customise to your needs.
Silentnight Mirapocket 1400 Puriel Divan
Natural wool fillings and 1400 responsive pocket springs work harmoniously to align your spine and regulate temperature. The hand-tufted construction ensures lasting durability, while chemical-free treatment creates a clean sleeping environment. Zoned support targets pressure points precisely where you need it most.
Giltedge Beds Ice Chill 1000 Divan
Cooling gel foam technology brings a new dimension to this advanced sleep system. The dual-season design adapts to summer and winter comfort needs, while 1000 pocket springs maintain consistent support. Premium edge reinforcement lets you use the entire surface, topped with an inviting knitted cover for lasting comfort.
Top tips to pick a comfy bed
Bed frame materials dramatically affect both comfort and style. Upholstered fabric frames bring softness through buttoned headboards and padded surrounds, perfect for creating that boutique hotel feel.
Natural wooden frames showcase authentic grain patterns that mature beautifully over time, while metal designs range from Victorian-inspired ornate curves to sleek modern lines.
Innovative storage solutions transform how your bedroom functions. Ottoman frames lift to reveal full-width spaces ideal for bulky items like duvets and winter clothes.
Side-opening ottomans work best if the ceiling above your bed is low or sloping, and end-opening ottomans work best when your bed is in the middle of the room.
Drawer bases offer easier access to everyday essentials but provide less capacity. Plus, the drawers need clearance to open outwards.
