Choosing the Right Width Adjustable Bed
One of the most common questions we are asked is:
"What size adjustable bed should I choose?"
- The answer depends on three things:
- How much space you have in your bedroom
- Whether the bed is for one person or two
- How much personal sleeping space you prefer
Unlike many retailers who import standard-sized products, we manufacture our adjustable beds in the UK and offer a wide range of sizes to suit different requirements.
Most of our adjustable beds are manufactured at 6'6" (198cm) long. This is slightly longer than many standard beds because raising the head and foot sections of an adjustable bed effectively shortens the sleeping surface.
If you are particularly tall, we can manufacture adjustable beds up to 7' long. Likewise, if space is limited, shorter 6'3" versions are available.
Choosing an Individual Adjustable Bed
2'3" (69cm) Wide
This is the narrowest adjustable bed we manufacture.
Whilst it can be used as an individual bed, it is most commonly purchased as part of a twin adjustable bed setup.
If possible, we generally recommend choosing a wider mattress. A 2'3" mattress can feel quite narrow, particularly if you move around during the night.
2'6" (76cm) Wide
A popular size when used as part of a twin adjustable bed.
Two 2'6" adjustable beds placed together create a standard 5' King Size bed, giving each person their own mattress and adjustment controls.
3' (91cm) Wide
Our most popular individual adjustable bed size.
A 3' adjustable bed provides plenty of room for most users without taking up excessive space within the bedroom.
If you are buying for one person and have adequate room available, this is often the size we recommend.
3'6" (107cm) Wide
Ideal if you enjoy a little extra space.
Many customers who have previously slept in a double bed find that a 3'6" adjustable bed offers the perfect balance between comfort and practicality.
4' (122cm) Wide
The largest individual adjustable bed we would normally recommend.
This size provides a luxurious amount of sleeping space for a single user and is ideal if bedroom space is not a concern.
Choosing a Twin Adjustable Bed
For couples, we almost always recommend twin adjustable beds.
Each person has their own mattress and adjustable mechanism, allowing them to find their ideal sleeping position without affecting their partner.
This is particularly beneficial if one person suffers from back pain, arthritis, acid reflux, snoring, or circulatory issues.
4'6" Twin Adjustable Bed
Created using two 2'3" mattresses.
Whilst suitable for some couples, the individual sleeping surfaces are relatively narrow.
5' King Size Twin Adjustable Bed
Created using two 2'6" adjustable beds.
This is one of our most popular options for couples and offers an excellent balance between bedroom space and personal comfort.
6' Super King Twin Adjustable Bed
Created using two 3' adjustable beds.
If you have the space, this is often the best choice.
Each person benefits from a full 3' sleeping area whilst still enjoying the advantages of independent adjustment.
For many couples, a 6' Super King Twin Adjustable Bed provides the perfect combination of comfort, support, and personal space.
Which Size Adjustable Bed Should I Choose?
If you're buying for one person, a 3' or 3'6" adjustable bed is usually the best starting point.
If you're buying for a couple, we generally recommend a twin adjustable bed rather than a traditional double. The ability to adjust each side independently makes a significant difference to comfort and sleep quality.
If your bedroom allows, a 6' Super King Twin Adjustable Bed remains our most recommended option, offering maximum personal space and complete independent adjustment for both sleepers.
