The space-smart middle ground. A double gives a solo sleeper real room to stretch out and a teen a proper step up from a single, all without the floor space a queen demands — which makes it the natural pick for compact bedrooms, first apartments and guest rooms. A2Z stocks double bed frames across Brisbane and the Gold Coast in timber, fabric, PU leather and metal, with storage and gas-lift options, priced direct and held in stock locally.

Is a Double the Right Size for You?
A double sits in the sweet spot between a king single and a queen. For one person it's genuinely roomy — plenty of space to stretch out and sprawl — and it slots into smaller bedrooms, studios and first apartments where a queen would dominate. Two adults can share a double, but it's a cosy fit; if you're a couple with the room to spare, it's worth comparing a queen before you decide. For solo sleepers, teens moving up from a single, and guest rooms, a double is the practical, space-smart choice.
Double Bed Size in Australia
A double fits a mattress measuring 137 cm wide × 187 cm long — wider than a king single but shorter, and narrower than a queen. Here's how it sits among its neighbours so you can match the bed to the room and the sleeper.
| Size | Mattress dimensions | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| King Single | 106 × 203 cm | Teens, taller solo sleepers |
| Double | 137 × 187 cm | Solo adults, compact rooms, guests |
| Queen | 153 × 203 cm | Couples wanting full room to spread |
Measure the room and leave at least 60 cm of clearance around the frame for bedside tables and easy movement. For every size compared, see our Australian bed sizes guide.
Materials for Your First Grown-Up Bed
A double is often the first "proper" bed someone buys after a single — so it's worth choosing a material you'll still be happy with in five years, not just this week.
Timber
The grown-up classic — warm, solid and a look that holds its own in any room as your style changes. Browse wooden bed frames.
Fabric & Upholstered
The easiest way to make a basic frame feel finished — a padded headboard is comfortable to lean on and instantly lifts the room. See fabric and upholstered frames.
PU Leather & Metal
PU leather brings a sleek, wipe-clean finish; metal keeps things light, affordable and simple. Compare PU leather and metal.
Storage for a Smaller Room
The double is most at home in compact bedrooms — which is exactly where built-in storage pays off. A double bed with drawers or a gas-lift base reclaims the dead space under the mattress for spare bedding, linen and the things a smaller wardrobe can't hold, keeping the floor clear in a room that hasn't got space to waste. To match the whole room in one go, a double bedroom suite brings the bed, bedsides and storage together.
Double Bed Frames to Suit Every Budget
A double is often a first-home or rental purchase, so price matters. Because we import direct and hold stock locally, we keep our double bed frames fair on price without cutting the build quality that actually carries your mattress — and you can spread the cost with Afterpay, Zip, Humm or Latitude. If value is the priority, our affordable bed frames gather the best picks together.
Complete the Room
Pair the frame with a matched double mattress so the dimensions line up, then add a bedside table, a tallboy, and pillows with a mattress protector to finish.
Browse by Style
After a particular look? The breezy ease of Hamptons and coastal furniture suits light, airy rooms; Scandinavian pieces lean on clean lines and pale timber; and rustic furniture brings warmth through solid timber.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size is a double bed in Australia?
A double fits a mattress measuring 137 cm wide × 187 cm long — wider than a king single (106 × 203 cm) but shorter, and narrower than a queen (153 × 203 cm). Always check the product page for exact frame specifications.
Can two people sleep in a double bed?
Yes, but it's a cosy fit — a double gives each person roughly the width of a single. It's ideal for solo sleepers who want room to spread out and fine for couples who don't mind getting close. If you're a couple with the floor space, a queen is more comfortable for two.
Is a double bed the same as two single beds?
No. A double is a single sleeping surface 137 cm wide. Two single mattresses pushed together are considerably wider, so they won't fit a double frame — they'd suit a king-size split base instead.
Double or queen — which should I choose?
It comes down to the room and who's sleeping in it. Choose a double for a solo sleeper, a teen or a compact room where a queen won't fit comfortably. Choose a queen if two adults will share it regularly and the room can take the extra width.
Can I get a double bed frame with storage?
Yes. Drawer and gas-lift bases are available in the double size and are a smart move in smaller rooms. Browse our double beds with storage to compare.
Are double bed frames easy to assemble?
Yes. Frames arrive flat-packed with clear instructions and go together with a few basic tools. We'd suggest two people for storage frames to make it quicker.
Can I pick up a double bed frame the same day?
In most cases, yes. Our showrooms hold stock locally, so if the frame you want is available you can collect it the same day. Free local delivery and paid wider delivery are also available.
Do double bed frames come with a warranty?
Every frame comes with a minimum 12-month warranty unless otherwise noted on the product page. Full terms are on our warranty and returns page.
