140 × 200 cm (double)

Who Suits An EU Double Bed?

• Taller individuals – At 200cm long, a European double bed offers essential legroom for anyone over 6ft tall, making it a comfortable necessity for taller sleepers.

• Those with IKEA double mattresses – Their mattresses typically measure 140x200cm and are specifically made to these European specifications. Choosing this bed frame ensures a precise fit without any awkward overhang.

• Couples in compact rooms – At 140cm wide, a European double can provide a cozy sleeping space for two in apartments or homes where the width of a standard Dutch queen size bed (160cm) or king size bed (180cm) would feel too big.

Popular EU Double Bed Types

• Four poster beds - Statement designs with solid timber posts and overhead rails, adding vertical presence and a refined, architectural feel to the room.

• Low beds – Clean, low-profile frames that sit closer to the floor, creating a more open, spacious look while maintaining a grounded aesthetic.

• Standard height beds – The everyday classic, set at a comfortable height with practical clearance underneath for storage and easy cleaning.

• Space saver beds – Compact, efficiently designed frames that minimize external bulk while still accommodating a full 140x200cm mattress.

• Platform beds – Streamlined, slatted bases that offer firm, breathable support for any mattress without the need for a traditional box spring or continental bed foundation.

• Storage beds – Smart, space-conscious designs with built-in drawers or concealed compartments to help maximize bedroom storage.

• Attic beds – Thoughtfully proportioned frames designed to fit beneath sloped ceilings and within loft spaces without wasting usable room.

• Floating beds – Contemporary frames with recessed supports that create a subtle floating effect while retaining solid, stable construction.

• Day beds – A versatile hybrid that functions as a stylish seating area by day and a comfortable guest bed by night.

• Japanese beds – Ultra-low, minimalist frames inspired by Zen design, focusing on simplicity, proportion, and natural materials.

• Scandinavian style beds – Light, functional designs with clean lines and an emphasis on natural wood tones for an airy, uncluttered look.

Top European Double Bed Tips From Our Joiners

• Understand the size difference – Always check your mattress label before ordering to avoid sizing mismatches, as they tend to be slightly different between retailers.

• Built for extended length – The additional length increases leverage at the frame’s corners. Our mortise and tenon joinery prevents racking and keeps the structure square over time.

• 1,045 lb (471kg) capacity – Using solid timber and slats that are twice the industry standard thickness, our EU double bed frames offer exceptional structural strength and long-term durability.

• Single mattress setup – In a 140x200cm setup, it is customary to use one single, continuous mattress rather than two separate ones, ensuring a smooth sleeping surface without a gap down the center.

FAQs

What other double bed sizes are available?

At 140x200cm, our EU double beds are highly versatile. Smaller and alternative choices are:

Comfort single beds / Small double beds (120x190cm) - Great for tighter rooms where you want a spacious solo sleep but a standard double would feel cramped.

• Traditional double beds (140x190cm) - A slightly shorter alternative, ideal for older homes or rooms with limited length layout.

• Extra-long beds (140x220cm) - Perfect for exceptionally tall sleepers. Since this is a completely bespoke size, please get in touch with us directly to place your custom order.

What bed sheet size fits a European double bed?

For the crispest look, we recommend using dedicated 140x200cm sheets, which are widely available across the Netherlands and at major retailers like IKEA.

Is an EU double bed big enough for two adults?

While a 140x200cm bed is technically wide enough for two people, it is frequently utilized as the ultimate luxury single bed. With this setup, each adult would only have 70cm of space each, which is narrower than a standard single mattress. For couples who want expansive long-term comfort, we recommend stepping up to a standard Dutch queen size bed (160x200cm) or a king size bed (180x200cm).

What is the recommended room size for a European double bed frame?

To accommodate the extra length and still have walking room, a bedroom size of at least 2.7 x 3m is ideal. Because the frame is narrower than a queen or king size bed, it’s a great way to get tall person legroom in a smaller room where every inch of floor space counts.

Do I need a new mattress when getting a new EU double bed frame?

Not necessarily; our EU double bed frames are made specifically to fit 140x200cm European double mattresses. As long as your current mattress is the right size, supportive, comfortable, and free from sagging, it will perform optimally on our solid wood bases.
