Small double beds can be a practical and comfortable choice for childrens' bedrooms and guest rooms, alike!
With 12 different beds in our growing small double bed range, we thought we’d explain why they’re becoming more and more popular..
Extra Space: A small double bed provides more sleeping space than a single bed, which can be especially useful for children who move around a lot in their sleep - or even for sleepovers with friends.
Longevity: As children grow, they may outgrow a single bed. A small double bed can accommodate them for a longer period, meaning that it is more useful for a longer time period.
Comfort: Children move around a lot in their sleep. The extra width of a small double bed can offer more comfort and room, allowing kids to spread out and sleep more soundly, which can lead to a better quality of sleep.
Versatility: Small double beds can be used for various purposes, such as reading, playing, or even doing homework. They can also be a cozy spot for parents to sit with their children during bedtime stories.
Space: Pop a storage or sleepover trundle underneath a small double bed to add extra room for toys or sleepovers.
Style statement: Small double beds can make a room look more mature and stylish, which can be appealing as kids grow older and want their space to reflect their evolving tastes.
Future Proofing: Investing in a small double bed early on can save you from having to upgrade to a larger bed as your child grows, making it a cost-effective choice in the long run. They’re also great options for the guest room after.
We are regularly asked questions about our small double beds, so here, we have pulled the most frequently asked ones together for you:
What age is most suitable for a small double bed?
At around 6 or 7 years old, children may benefit from the extra space a small double bed provides. This bed size can comfortably accommodate them through their teenage years.
But a small double bed might even be a good solution for littler ones who need a parent with them, providing enough space for them too.
Can I put a small double bed in a small room?
Whilst like any bed, a small double can be positioned in corners of rooms, it is a good idea to ensure that the bedroom has enough space to accommodate a small double bed without making the room feel cramped. This is especially important for younger children who need more space to play.
What size bedding should I use with a small double bed?
Consider the size of the bedding that you’d like to use. A standard double size duvet set is usually a good option for a small double bed. - Roomy enough for the size, and with a little drape over the sides for effect.
What small double bed designs are available?
From simple, versatile styles that will suit all interiors, to traditional, spindle beds, and small doubles with low foot boards, consider the style and colour of the bed as it will be the focal point of the room. We recommend timeless designs that can be styled in a variety of ways and suit different interior schemes. This is especially important if you think you might move in the future, or if the bed may be used in a different room after.
