Intro: Are you ready to transform your bedroom into a cozy retreat? Whether you're starting fresh in your new place or revamping your guest room, choosing the right bed size is essential. In this second part of our series on mattress sizes, we'll delve into the world of double beds, also known as full beds. Let's explore why this versatile option might be the perfect fit for you.
The Appeal of a Double Bed
Back in the 1870s, double beds gained popularity among couples as the go-to mattress. However, as time went on, larger options like queen and king beds emerged, offering more space and comfort. Despite this, double beds still serve as an excellent choice for single sleepers or couples who prefer a cozy sleeping arrangement. Just keep in mind that if you enjoy sprawled-out sleeping or sharing your bed with furry friends, a double bed might feel a little snug.
A Closer Look at Double Bed Dimensions
To envision the perfect double bed in your space, it's crucial to understand its dimensions. A double bed measures 4.5 feet x 6.25 feet, occupying about 28 square feet. Ideally, your bedroom should be at least 110 square feet (10' x 11') to accommodate this size comfortably.
Double Bed Size:
- Inches: 54" x 75"
- Centimeters: 137.16 cm x 190.5 cm
- Feet: 4.5 feet x 6.25 feet
Who Fits Best?
A double bed is great for:
- Older children transitioning from a twin bed
- Young adults
- Guest rooms
- Cuddling couples
On the other hand, it may not be ideal for:
- Taller individuals
- Sleepers who move around a lot or like to spread out
- Couples who want to share the bed with their pets
