Size Guide

Size is, as often as not, governed by the size of the bedroom.
But, generally, buy a bed as big as the room will accommodate, so you will be as comfortable as possible.
In Britain, the accepted sizes for mattresses throughout the industry are set out below.
These are the sizes for mattresses or traditional divan bases.
So it follows that if you decide on a bedstead in metal or wood, the overall sizes of the bedstead will be slightly larger to accommodate the mattress. This is to allow for the thickness of the bedstead legs and frame. Generally add on 5cms all round - this is 10cms in overall length of the mattress and 10cms in overall width of the mattress.
10cms is only a guide, as the thickness of frames varies.
