FAQ

What size is a typical children's double bed?

A standard children's double bed measures 135cm in width by 190cm in length, which is the same size as an adult double bed. This larger bed size is ideal for more spacious rooms, offering plenty of space for your child to stretch out. If you're after something slightly smaller, a small double bed for children might be more appropriate as it has a reduced width.

What are the benefits of a double bed for children?

Children’s double beds offer more room for your child to move around, with an extra 45cm of width compared to a single bed. As children grow quickly, it can be costly to continually replace their beds, but double beds provide longevity, often lasting well into their teenage years. Additionally, allowing your child to help choose their bed can give them a sense of independence and maturity, and it might even make them more excited about bedtime. Besides the space benefits, double beds can also be the centrepiece of the bedroom, with many styles available that offer the ‘WOW’ factor.

At what age can a child have a double bed?

It is generally advised that a double bed can be suitable for any child or toddler aged 3 and over. Since children experience rapid growth between the ages of 1 and 6, investing in a double bed can be a practical decision, as it eliminates the need to buy new beds as your child grows. Double beds also offer practical benefits, such as providing space for a parent to lie next to their child during restless nights. Many children's double beds come with low-to-the-ground frames, making it easy for younger children to climb in and out. Millie & Jones offers a wide variety of low double beds, suitable for both children and teenagers. You can choose from stylish wooden or metal bed frames, many of which include options for under-bed storage—perfect for storing kids' bedding or out-of-season clothing.

Can two adults sleep in a double bed?

Although our double beds are designed primarily for children, two adults can share a double bed if needed, depending on their size and comfort preferences.

Our children’s double beds come in a variety of styles to suit different bedroom themes and preferences. Since double beds are larger pieces of furniture, they often become the focal point of the room, so choosing the right design is important. Upholstered beds are perfect for those looking to add a luxurious feel to the space, offering both comfort and a statement piece of furniture. For a multifunctional option, there are extendable day beds, which can function as a sofa during the day and often include built-in storage.
