Collection: Double

A double mattress in New Zealand is 139 x 191 cm. It is wider than a king single but shorter than a queen, which makes it a good fit for guest rooms, teenagers' rooms and smaller main bedrooms. At Cambridge Beds & Furniture, double mattresses start from $349 and double mattress and base sets start from $649, and you can try them at our Morrinsville showroom.

Who is a double bed best for?

A double works well for:

• A single adult who wants more room than a king single
• Guest rooms that get used a few times a year
• Teenagers who have outgrown a single
• Rooms under about 3 x 3 m where a queen would feel cramped

For two adults sleeping together every night, a double is tight. Each person gets about 70 cm of width, and the 191 cm length can leave taller people with their feet over the end. If that's you, a queen is usually worth the extra money.

Double vs queen: which should I buy?

• Size: Double 139 x 191 cm; Queen 152 x 202 cm
• Best for: Double One adult, guest rooms, teens; Queen Couples, taller sleepers
• Mattress + base from: Double $649; Queen $699

The price gap between the two is often smaller than people expect, so if the room fits a queen it's worth pricing both.

Double bed and mattress for a guest room

A double bed and mattress is a good fit for a spare room, a sleepout or a granny flat, where a queen would take up too much space. Buy the mattress and base together to keep the price down, or add a headboard later. You can see our double range at 199 Thames Street, Morrinsville, open seven days.
