Double ottoman beds

Double ottoman bed frames and divan bases

You can choose a complete frame with its own headboard, or a divan base with the headboard sold separately.

The Orla double frame

The Orla is our side-opening double. A gas-lift design carries the weight of the mattress for you, and the storage beneath the mattress is 21.5cm deep. You can have the linen-look upholstery in Natural or Olive.

Harrison Spinks ottoman bases

The Classic and Premium ottoman bases raise the bed top from the front, on air-pressured pistons. Each comes in a choice of four fabrics and is upholstered at the Harrison Spinks factory in Leeds.

Fitting a double ottoman bed into your room

Start with the footprint. A double mattress measures 135cm by 190cm. The Orla double measures 147cm by 218cm overall, which is 12cm wider and 28cm longer. The Harrison Spinks ottoman bases measure 135cm by 190cm, so allow extra length if you add a headboard.
Then think about how each one opens. The Orla needs clear space at the side, and a Harrison Spinks base needs clear space at the front.

Double ottoman beds with a mattress

Our double mattresses come in a choice of tensions, so you can pick the feel that suits you and add the mattress to your order. Check the weight of the mattress first. We recommend 20kg to 70kg for the Orla double. For the Harrison Spinks ottoman bases, we recommend 37kg to 54kg.

Is a double the right size for you?

At 135cm wide by 190cm long, or 4ft 6in by 6ft 3in, a double suits two people sharing a smaller bedroom. Shared between two, it gives each of you 67.5cm of width. Our Product Technologist, Louise Silver, points to research cited by the National Bed Federation, which shows that the average person changes position 60 to 70 times a night. In a double, she notes, those movements are more likely to disrupt your partner's neutral alignment. A small double is 15cm narrower, at 120cm by 190cm. Our mattress size guide suggests a small double for two people on the odd night, and a double for regular sharing.

If you would like more space between you, and the room allows, consider the next size up. A king size is 15cm wider and 10cm longer than a double, which gives you 17% more sleeping area.

If a double suits you but you would like a different style of bed, see every style in this size.

Is an ottoman double bed long enough if you are tall?

Louise Silver recommends a mattress at least 10cm longer than the tallest person who sleeps on it. At 190cm long, a double suits sleepers up to 180cm tall. If you are taller than 180cm, a king size gives you 200cm of length, which suits sleepers up to 190cm by the same rule.
