Positioned between a double bed and a single bed, a 4ft bed is also known as a compact double and a small double bed. 4ft beds measure 120cm x 190cm or 4ft x 6ft 3in, and actually have more sleep space per person than a super king size bed, so they offer a touch of luxury to any smaller bedroom.

A 4ft bed is a useful size of bed that is ideal for a guest bedroom where space is limited or if only one person is sleeping in a small bedroom but wants slightly more sleep space. They are also good in older children’s and teenager’s bedrooms as they grow.

In our 4ft bed section you will find a wide range of different styles including divan beds, leathe beds, upholstered beds, metal bed frames and wooden bed frames. There is also the high sleeper from Hyder that has a compact double bed. Our prices start from just £79 for a 4ft bed frame and we also have a Best Price Promise to make sure you get the lowest price possible. You’ll also find 4ft beds within our Next Day Delivery section if you need your new bed quickly or simply can’t wait. We also have a great choice of 4ft bed mattresses to match your new bed frame, all from well known manufacturers and with various spring styles.

There are a number of reasons that lead to the purchase of a double mattress. And there are also different factors that influence the decision in making the choice to purchase this particular mattress.

Although primarily purchased for their comfort and ergonomics in allowing more freedom of movement or positioning during the sleep phase, the double mattress is most affiliated to designer beds.

Cast iron frames built to accommodate one of these large mattresses are almost as popular as the wooden beds that so often come with this type of mattress size. But whatever your preference or style of bed, there are a few rules for the correct upkeep of your mattress.

Ensure that the base you lay your mattress on is the suitable size. This will ensure longevity of the sponginess and evenness of distribution of weight on your mattress, which will prolong the use of the mattress. Take turns sleeping on different sides of the mattress if it is for one person. If two people are consistently sleeping on the mattress then be sure to swap sides and turn the mattress over entirely every now and then.

Where possible prevent the kids from jumping on the mattress as this really wears out the springs quickly. Also, try to keep your adorable pets off the bed as pet hairs that get into springs will cause quicker eroding of the materials thus shortening the lifespan of your mattress.

Following these guidelines will not protect your mattress indefinitely, but will give you a longer use and increase the lifespan of your mattress.

Of all the pieces of bedroom furniture you acquire, your bed is the most important. Inadequate length of sleep time or poor quality of sleep can cause a wide range of physical, emotional and psychological maladies. In contrast, those who acquire adequate, good quality sleep enjoy better health, happier, and longer lives. It is therefore important to ensure you only consider buying orthopaedic standard mattresses.

Any chiropractor will tell you the benefits of quality sleep. The importance of sleep is widely recognised in the medical field. America leads in the field of sleep medicine, where a number of institutions provide training in the identification and treatment of sleep disorders.

The diagnosis of sleep disorders requires comprehensive knowledge of a number of conditions. Hence, many sleep disorders are misdiagnosed or overlooked altogether. One of the most common sleep disorders diagnosed is insomnia.

The time and expense entailed in consulting qualified sleep specialists can be delayed, if not avoided altogether, through the purchase and use of orthopaedic standard mattresses. Insomnia makes you realize just how important sleep is, and thus the need for a sturdy and reliable bed.

By investing in a medically endorsed mattress you are investing in your health. A proper bed will ensure quality of sleep and, consequently, quality of life. Of course, a mattress should be mounted on a suitably sturdy bed frame. Handcrafted wooden frames are beautiful and strong. Choose wooden frames like mahogany, teak, or oak. Wooden frames provide support and are pleasing on the eye. Whatever you do, don’t drift off on driftwood!

Most people spend an average of half their lives in their bedroom, if not asleep. With so much time spent in your bedroom, it is worth making it as inviting and homely as possible. Start by simply rearranging your bedroom furniture and notice the dramatic improvement. You will be amazed at how shifting a few pieces of furniture can transform the entire atmosphere in your bedroom.

Rearranging your existing bedroom furniture will dramatically improve the ambience in your bedroom, but it won’t necessarily improve your quality of sleep. With half your life spent in your bedroom, on your back, it is worth investing in one of the many good quality standard mattresses available. A quality mattress will ensure you awake refreshed and well-rested.

Quality mattresses make for quality sleep, while designer beds make for stylish and inviting bedrooms. With well-placed furniture, your bedroom will be transformed into a sanctuary where you can relax and replenish. Considering the amount of time you spend in your bedroom, it is worth taking the time and trouble required to make it truly inviting.

Once you have selected suitable items of furniture for your private sanctuary – your little piece of paradise – you can accentuate the space with a few feature pieces. If your bedroom gets good light, add some greenery. Your local nursery will be able to advise you on suitable houseplants for your space.

Select your favourite prints of loved ones to be framed and mounted on your wall. When it comes to your bedroom, make the space personal. Make it pleasing to your eye. That way, your slumber place becomes your sanctuary, as well.

When it comes to luxury beds, the only limitation is money. In today’s hi-tech world, beds can resemble the bridge of a space ship in functionality. (No doubt there are many youngsters out there who dream of boys’ beds with that much hi-tech functionality, but rest and sleep would be the last thing on their minds if they had them!)

Luxury beds range from the pristine and elegant, to the ultimate in hi-tech, but common to all of them would have to be the finest quality luxury mattresses. A normal double mattress just wouldn’t cut it in the world of luxury. Whatever the style, the moment of true luxury comes when you lie down and the corners of your mouth turn up uncontrollably, while a long, irrepressible, deep sigh escapes your throat.

Temporarily spurning the materialistic toys of modern electronics, luxury has many faces. There are king-sized four-posters of infinite designs, from ornately carved wood to intricately fashioned iron; with fabrics exotic and delicate, carefully draped with majestic flair.

If four-posters are not your style, there is luxury in exotic wood, with ivory inlays, or even gold leaf. There’s marble, bronze, leather or silk. Wardrobes and dressers, ornate or silky smooth, with mirrors of note covering every angle, and lighting to match.

If electronic functionality is what you prefer, there’s hardly a limit. Choose the shape of your bed, then add a luxuriously padded headboard equipped with control panels that command every function: intercoms to summon staff for room service, Bluetooth for those long mobile phone conversations, music from surround-sound speakers, tastefully hidden, knobs for dimming or switching lights in every part of the room, video equipment, computerized alarms to wake you delicately and temperature control.

Beds play a major role in defining our lifestyles and our general well-being. Even within defined price brackets, the choices are huge. The most important factor to take into account is the type of mattress that most suits your physical requirements, including the size. Thereafter, the style of the base comes into play, along with aesthetic preferences.

A good night’s sleep is crucial to your well-being, your health, your ability to perform your daily functions effectively and the way you react to those around you. Therefore, it makes sense to spend time determining your needs realistically and buying the best quality that you can afford.

There are a variety of mattress types, including continuous spring, independent spring, foam and cotton-filled futons. Some of the high-density foam mattresses have designs that feature firmer and softer areas to mould to your body. Generally a firm mattress is the better one, but back pains, hip injuries and various spinal disorders may well be the determining factor in your choice.

Headboards may be attached to beds, but may also be bought separately, often as part of a bedroom suite. However, it is worth remembering that they can also be home made, adding to the fun and challenge of designing a bedroom to individual tastes.

Guest beds may require different criteria, depending upon whether they will be permanently located in specific guest rooms, or whether one has space constraints. If space is an issue, one may consider convertible units that can be used as sofas for normal use, or folded away and stored, or even deflated and packed away in the case of infrequently used, emergency airbeds.

Your guests’ well-being is important too, so choose the best quality you can reasonably afford.

Without a good mattress you will not get a good nights sleep that is a known fact, even if it is said that you ’can sleep on a clothes line’. Usually the more that you spend on a mattress the better it will be. You will certainly get deeper filling, which will provide more comfort and prolonged mattress life. Not all mattresses are constructed in the same way and there are important differences, usually in the method of springing. Again the more springs that a mattress contains the more expensive it will be and the better support you will get.

There are two types of sprung mattress, the interior or coiled sprung mattress and the pocket sprung mattress. With the interior sprung design whilst each manufacturer varies the technology, they all feature row upon row of springs linked together with a spiral wire, which ensures the mattress retains its shape throughout its life. On the other hand the pocket sprung mattress is considered to more luxurious, these smaller lighter springs are individually wrapped in fabric pockets and work independently from one another.

Beds mattresses and the way that we sleep have evolved over the centuries and our ancestors would hardly believe the comfort and relaxation that the modern bed and mattress can bring to the user. However, nothing has revolutionised the bed and mattress more than memory foam, originally developed by NASA to relieve the strong G-Forces experienced by astronauts during lift-off.

As with many space related products, memory foam was soon taken up by the domestic market and can be found in a wide variety of bedding products like mattresses pillows and the like. Memory Foam sometimes known as Visco Elastic alters to your body shape and evenly distributes its weight and shapes to the body contours thus delivering a better profile ensuring a relaxing sleep, it quickly returns to its original shape when not in use.

Memory foam products are now widely used in the medical profession distributing body-weight more evenly than a traditional mattress. By not being subjected to a pressure build up, the body does not suffer from a range of aches and pains, aching joints, sciatic pain, arthritis, rheumatism, and the inevitable back pain which can lead to other problems as well loss of work. The memory foam mattress is here to stay and with many online bed stores offering them at such great prices we can see why.

It is often the last thing that we consider when looking to improve our home, yes it is that wonderful item that we all like to climb into at the end of the day – the bed! Beds don’t last forever and a bed’s life span can be affected by a number of factors, for instance the quality of this in the first place. The amount of use that a bed gets will determine its life span, the one in the spare room used only a few times a year will outlast the one used every night. Another factor can be our bodies gaining weight and when we age.

When your bed is no longer providing proper support and comfort, this is when you are no longer getting quality sleep and can feel tired, ache and are often irritable. More often than not we are unaware that it is the bed that is causing the problem. Some of the signs that it may be time for a new mattress can be if you are waking up with aches and pains, that gradually disappear as the day progresses and you are now not sleeping as well as you did before, perhaps a year ago. Buying a new bed may not be the cure for all the problems of the world with the resulting stresses and strains, but it certainly should help you get a better night’s sleep, far better than taking a sleeping pill, when you can still wake with aches and pains.
