All About Double Beds What Else You Need to Know

Right until the sixth decade of the 20th century, double beds were the most popular form of beds for a couple to sleep in. With the advent of bigger versions like the queen and king size beds, the double beds have lost their popularity. However, the Double Beds is the most common bed size that can be found around the world; some credit of this can surely be given to the English empire. This has a great advantage when you consider moving around various countries in the world, at least your bed dimension will be constant. It is also known as a full bed.

In the United Kingdom, the bed measures 54”X 75”. This implies that each person has a 27” wide sleeping place for himself/herself. In the UK, there is a special version of this bed called as the small double that spans over an area of 48”X 78”, which can be a great advantage for the taller fellows. The United States follows the same dimension whereas some European countries have double Divan beds measuring 55’ X 79”.

Of late, double beds with storage have become very popular. These have special storage compartments that help us utilize the limited space without having to compromise on the comfort.
