Double Bed Frames
Double bed frames are a practical choice for many New Zealand bedrooms. Sized for a standard NZ double mattress of 138cm x 188cm, they offer more sleeping space than a single while keeping a smaller footprint than queen or king sizes. This range includes double bed bases, standard bed frames and storage beds with built-in drawers, available in timber, metal and upholstered fabric finishes across a variety of colours and styles.
Have a question?
A standard NZ double mattress is usually around 138cm x 188cm, although some NZ size guides list double beds as 137cm x 188cm. Most double bed frames are designed for this mattress size, but it is still worth checking the product dimensions before buying, especially if you already have a mattress at home.
A double bed frame can work well in a small bedroom if you want more sleeping space than a single without moving up to a queen. It is often a practical option for teenagers, solo adults, guest rooms and compact rental bedrooms where floor space still matters.
A double bed base is usually simpler and lower in design, while a double bed frame often includes a headboard, side rails or a more decorative structure. If you want a clean, practical setup, a base may be enough. If you want the bed to shape the room style, a frame is the better choice.
A double bed frame with drawers is useful when bedroom storage is limited. The built-in drawers can hold spare bedding, seasonal clothes or everyday items that would otherwise take up wardrobe space. For many NZ apartments, rentals and shared homes, storage beds are a practical way to make better use of the room.
