Finding the Right Cheap Bed for Your Home
A good night's sleep starts with the right bed, but that doesn't mean you need to spend hundreds or even thousands of pounds. Whether you're furnishing a first home, upgrading a guest room, replacing an old bed or looking for a space-saving solution, there are plenty of affordable options available.
From practical bed frames and storage beds to stylish ottoman beds and complete bed and mattress sets, today's budget-friendly beds offer comfort, durability and functionality without the premium price tag.
Types of Cheap Beds Available
- Bed Frames: Bed frames are one of the most popular and affordable options for UK households. Available in metal, wooden and upholstered styles, a bed frame provides a sturdy foundation while allowing you to choose the mattress that best suits your sleeping preferences.
- Storage Beds: Storage beds are ideal for making the most of limited bedroom space. Many feature built-in drawers underneath the mattress or hidden compartments, helping you store bedding, clothing and other household items neatly out of sight.
- Ottoman Beds: Ottoman beds offer maximum storage by lifting from the base to reveal a large storage area underneath. They're especially popular in flats, smaller bedrooms and homes where additional storage space is needed.
- Divan Beds: Divan beds combine a supportive base with a compact design, making them a practical choice for many UK homes. Some models include integrated drawers for extra storage.
- Bunk Beds: Perfect for children's bedrooms, shared rooms and sleepovers, bunk beds help maximise floor space while providing comfortable sleeping arrangements for two people.
- Bed and Mattress Sets: For convenience and value, many shoppers choose bed and mattress combinations. These complete packages can often work out cheaper than purchasing each item separately and make furnishing a bedroom simple.
- Corner Sofa Beds: Corner sofa beds are a practical solution for homes that need to maximise both seating and sleeping space. Perfect for living rooms, guest rooms, and multifunctional spaces, they provide ample seating during the day and can be converted into a comfortable bed when needed.
- Kids Beds: Kids beds are designed to provide comfort, safety and style for growing children. From simple single beds to themed designs and storage beds with built-in drawers, kids beds are a practical option for creating a functional and organised children's bedroom.
Choosing the Right Bed Size
Selecting the right bed size is just as important as choosing the style. The ideal option depends on the size of your bedroom, how many people will be using the bed and how much sleeping space you prefer.
- Small Single Bed (75cm x 190cm): A compact choice that's ideal for young children, guest rooms, or smaller spaces where maximising floor space is important.
- Single Bed (90cm x 190cm): One of the most popular options for children, teenagers, and single adults. It provides comfortable sleeping space while fitting well in smaller bedrooms.
- Small Double Bed (120cm x 190cm): Also known as a three-quarter bed, a small double offers extra room for solo sleepers while remaining compact enough for smaller bedrooms. It can also accommodate two people where space is limited.
- Double Bed (135cm x 190cm): A classic choice for couples and one of the most common bed sizes in UK homes. It offers a good balance between sleeping space and room efficiency.
- King Size Bed (150cm x 200cm): Ideal for couples who prefer additional personal space while sleeping. The increased width and length make it particularly suitable for taller sleepers and larger bedrooms.
- Super King Size Bed (180cm x 200cm): The largest standard UK bed size, offering maximum comfort and plenty of room for couples. It's perfect for spacious master bedrooms and those who value a luxurious sleeping experience.
Before purchasing, always measure your bedroom carefully to ensure there's enough room for the bed as well as wardrobes, bedside tables, and comfortable movement around the room.
