4ft Beds
I recently received a question regarding 4ft beds over our contact form. Roger from Bistol is wondering whetherr there is any difference between a 4 ft bed and a small double bed. Naturally he is mostly curious about the difference in sizes as he wouldn’t want to risk by buying a mattress that would not fit the bed frame.
Well, there shouldn’t be any difference between a three quarter bed, a small double bed and a 4ft bed. The measurement for all of these beds are approximately 122cm (48”) wide x 191cm (75”) long. That being said, there is absolutely nothing wrong with you measuring the bed before buying it. Although the official measurements for all three expressions are the same, some manufacturers might not agree. Also keep in mind that these are UK bed sizes so an imported 4ft bed or a small double bed might not be the right size. By measuring it yourself, you will avoid the problem of the mattress not fitting into your 4ft bed frame.
If you are buying your 4ft bed online in a web store you cannot measure the small double bed before you buy it. It would be sensible to send an email to the store manager just to make sure the 4ft beds they offer are indeed the right size. A good manager will be most helpful and will not mind the extra question and that will also be a good sign you are buying your small double bed or your 4ft bed (whatever you choose to call it) in the right shop.
