Single beds

Single Beds with Upholstered Style

Give a single bedroom a distinctive centrepiece with upholstered ottoman designs. Curved, wingback and Art Deco-inspired headboards bring different looks to the standard 90 x 190cm mattress size.

Single Beds with Upholstered Style: styles, choices and buying guide

A single bed with its own design identity

Curve 360 Dusk Till Dawn brings a curved outline, Grandeur Warwick Fabrics puts upholstery at the centre of the finish, Deacon adds wingback styling and Safina introduces an Art Deco headboard. These four designs make the collection a choice of character as well as size. The existing Single variants use the standard UK mattress dimensions, while each headboard and base has its own outer footprint. Ottoman construction adds a practical storage role beneath the visible design. That combination allows a guest room or smaller main bedroom to have a considered upholstered focal point.

Curve 360 Ottoman Bed Dusk Till Dawn

Curve 360 Ottoman Bed Dusk Till Dawn gives the bed a curved design identity. Its ottoman construction pairs that softer visual outline with practical storage beneath the sleeping surface.

Grandeur Ottoman Bed Warwick Fabrics

Grandeur Ottoman Bed Warwick Fabrics puts fabric choice at the centre of the bedroom finish. The ottoman design adds concealed storage to a bed selected as much for its appearance as its function.

Deacon Wingback Ottoman Bed

Deacon Wingback Ottoman Bed offers a framed headboard silhouette within the single-bed collection. It brings the character of a wingback design to an upholstered storage bed.

Safina Ottoman Bed Art Deco Headboard

Safina Ottoman Bed Art Deco Headboard gives the storage bed a geometric, design-led focal point. Its headboard style offers a different look from the curved and wingback choices in this collection.

A bed that brings the room together

The bed is often the largest visible piece in a bedroom, so its upholstery and headboard shape have a strong influence on the finished room. A wingback outline frames the pillows, a curved design softens the silhouette, and Chesterfield detailing adds a decorative pattern. Fabric changes how those shapes read alongside bedding, curtains and bedside furniture. The result is a choice about the whole room as well as the sleeping surface, with a practical storage base able to sit beneath a distinctive upholstered design.

Make everyday storage part of the bed

Ottoman storage gives spare bedding and seasonal belongings a dedicated place beneath the mattress. Because access is through the lifting platform, its direction matters to the room layout. An end-opening design is approached from the foot; a side-opening design is approached along a long edge. Both arrangements keep storage within the bed area, but they suit different positions of bedside furniture and surrounding space. Useful cavity depth and overall base height describe different things, so a taller-looking base is not a measurement of its storage volume.

Choose the components for your bedroom

Some purchases centre on the frame or upholstered base, while a bed set brings components together in one offer. The mattress supplies the sleeping surface; the headboard shapes the visible backdrop; and the base contributes support and any selected storage. Those roles help distinguish a complete bedroom purchase from an update to one component. Existing size choices provide the standard mattress dimensions, while the product configuration identifies the selected fabric, components and options. Room photographs show a finished look rather than a universal list of included items.

Shape, height and room proportions

A mattress size is a useful starting point for a bed, but upholstery and a projecting headboard can make the overall furniture wider or longer. A tall headboard creates a different effect beneath a full-height wall than below a window or sloping ceiling. Bed height also depends on the mattress placed on the base. These proportions explain why two beds for the same standard mattress can look quite different in a room. The individual dimension guides provide the outer measurements alongside the familiar mattress size.

UK mattress sizes

Our size options use standard UK mattress dimensions. Small Single through Double share a 190cm length, while King and Super King offer a 200cm length. Width increases across the range, so the difference between sizes is about both sleeping space and the room around the bed.

Standard UK mattress dimensions: width x length
SizeSize labelWidth x length
Small Single2ft675 x 190 cm
Single3ft90 x 190 cm
Small Double4ft120 x 190 cm
Double4ft6135 x 190 cm
King5ft150 x 200 cm
Super King6ft180 x 200 cm

These measurements describe the mattress. A bed frame, upholstered base or headboard can extend beyond the sleeping surface. Mattress depth is a separate measurement that contributes to the finished bed height; the product guides keep these dimensions distinct.

Your questions answered

Does a single bed have to look purely functional?

No. Headboard shape and fabric can give a single bed the same considered design role as a larger bed, while its standard mattress size keeps the sleeping footprint compact.

Does mattress size describe the entire bed?

It describes the sleeping surface. Upholstery, the frame and the headboard can extend beyond it, so overall bed dimensions are a separate part of the design.

What is the difference between a bed and a bed set?

A bed listing may centre on the frame or base. A set combines the components described in that offer. Mattress and headboard inclusion follow the selected configuration rather than every item shown in the photograph.

Why does the opening direction matter?

It determines the edge of the bed used to reach the storage. Side and end opening can therefore offer different ways to arrange bedside furniture and the space around the bed.

Choose your bed style and create a bedroom with storage and upholstery that work together.
