Small Double/4ft Bed
Our handcrafted small double beds blend traditional craftsmanship with modern comfort. Each iron, brass, or nickel bed frame is carefully built to order by skilled artisans in our Norfolk workshop. Whether you’re furnishing a guest room, a teenager’s space, or a compact master bedroom, our small double metal beds offer the perfect balance of charm, strength, and timeless style. With classic knuckle joints, heritage finishes, and enduring quality, these 4ft beds make a thoughtful and space-saving choice.
Standard Bed Size
A small double bed — also known as a 4ft bed — measures 120cm x 190cm (4’0” x 6’3”), making it ideal for narrower rooms that still need room for two. Because every frame is made to order, we can customise your bed to suit both your space and your style. Whether you need a slightly shorter frame, extra storage clearance, or a different finish, our team can tailor the dimensions for you.
Please note that overall bed frame sizes may vary depending on the style. You’ll find exact measurements on each product page, or you’re welcome to contact our team for personalised advice.
