What size is a single bed?

A UK single bed is 3 foot by 6 foot 3 inches, or 90cm by 190cm.

Are single beds for adults?

For the average adult, a UK single bed works just fine. Choosing a single bed for your room helps save precious floor space- especially useful if you've got a small space to furnish. If you're particularly tall, or just want more room to stretch out at night, consider a double.

Is a single bed the same as a twin?

Not quite. The term twin refers to two single beds in the same room, a common setup for hotel rooms.

How do you dress a single bed?

When dressing a single bed, the accessories are up to you. Have a think about what it'll be used for and how often. If it's a spare room bed, it's best to keep it simple with cushions and throws to keep the laundry loads down. If it's for everyday use, go for it! Folding the duvet about quarter of the way down makes a single bed look fuller. Add a simple throw at the bottom and a few cushions that go with your vibe for the room.

How many pillows should be on a single bed?

We'd recommend two pillows on a single size bed for a smarter, finished look. It's nice to have the option of removing one pillow if not needed, whilst the two will make sure the bed looks neat and tidy.
