The perfect middleground
Available in a range of styles, a small double bed for kids is an ideal choice for growing children.
This could be the ideal step up from a single kids’ bed, giving your child the space that they need for the most comfortable and relaxing sleep, without dominating the room. Space-conscious and versatile, there’s a variety of styles to choose from, each focused on giving your child the best possible night’s sleep.
The benefits of a small double kids' bed
Opening up a whole new world of space, a small kids' double bed is a great choice for any children’s bedroom. The main benefits include:
Extra sleeping space: Being wider than a single kids’ bed, a small double kids’ bed is a great option for children who like to sprawl out or move around during the night, especially for teenagers.
Comfortable quality sleep: No matter what style you choose, each of our small double beds is designed with comfort and practicality in mind. When paired with an appropriately sized mattress, these beds ensure a relaxing, calming night’s sleep, every time.
Space-conscious: Having multiple children share the same bedroom comes with its challenges and, sometimes, buying two separate beds can add more difficulties, rather than solve them. In which case, a small double kids’ bed is a great option. These beds will often feature a single mattress on the top, with a small double on the bottom, giving each child a space to call their own.
Considerations when buying a small kids' double bed
Although you may be set on a small double bed, make sure you take the following points into account:
Room size and layout: Make sure to take accurate measurements of your child’s bedroom before buying any bed frame, including a small double. This can help avoid disappointment when the frame arrives. As a rule of thumb, a bed should only take up a maximum of 30% of the available floor space.
Build quality and durability: When it comes to kids’ beds, safety is always the top priority. That’s why each bed we sell is made using only high-quality materials and fittings to ensure a safe, comfortable night’s sleep.
Budget: When fitting out a kids’ bedroom, the costs can quickly add up. This is especially true if you’re looking at multiple different furniture pieces. Compared to buying separately, a small double kids’ bed can sometimes be a more cost-effective solution than buying multiple beds.
Assembly: Every kid’s small double bed will require some self-assembly. But don’t worry. All of our beds are built easily and will take no longer than one to two hours. Just make sure you have a screwdriver, soft mallet, and a mixture of both Phillips and Pozidriv heads to get the job done. Remember, you can always get in touch with the Bunk Beds team for extra support.
Maintenance: Keeping your small double kids’ bed clean is a doddle, and can be done with little more than a clean, damp cloth. If you notice a spill or want to clean up some dust, simply wipe over the surface and allow it to dry.
Types of small double kids’ bed
You can choose a small kids’ double bed in a range of styles and configurations, including:
Small double kids’ bed styles
Our small double kids’ bed range includes:
Kids’ Storage Beds: This collection of kids’ beds is designed to improve organisation around their bedroom. They feature various storage options, from cupboards and drawers to bookcases and wardrobes.
Kids’ double bunk beds: A bunk bed such may well be the best choice for a children’s bedroom that’s limited on space. The top and bottom bunks will provide more than sufficient space for a couple of little sleepers.
Small double kids’ bed materials
Almost all of the beds we sell are made from MFC (melamine-faced chipboard). This durable material has a tough outer layer that can be easily wiped down, protecting the chipboard beneath from spills and swelling.
Kids’ small double bed dimensions
Kids’ small double bed frames come in a standard size of 4’0 x 6’3”. This will likely be more than big enough for a growing child or teenager, while the top bunk is often made up of a single mattress measuring 3’ x 6’3”
Need something a bit larger (or smaller)? We also offer kids’ beds in the following sizes:
Toddler Beds (2’3” x 4’ 7”): Toddler beds are smaller than standard bed sizes and are designed to be used by children aged one to four.
Single Kids’ Beds (3'0" x 6'3"): Suitable for most children over four years, as well as young teenagers, single kids’ beds are the second smallest size we have available.
Double Kids’ Beds (4'6" x 6'3"): Double kids’ beds are the largest available. They can comfortably fit two or three sleepers, if needed, with six more inches of width over the small double.
