The highest standard in the UK mattress industry
The Bed Supermarket offers a huge range of beds, mattresses, and bed sets for sale, all manufactured in Britain. That means a lower carbon footprint and fast delivery to your door, as nothing comes from overseas.
Divan beds take up less floor space than regular beds because the mattress base doesn’t protrude — standard beds have legs that can stick out and eat into your floor space, giving you less room to walk around.
Another advantage of divan beds is that their solid bed bases can have built-in drawers that replace other bulky furniture (perfect for small bedrooms).
Two drawers handle most couples' storage needs, and four drawers suit families with more stuff than wardrobe space. No gap under the bed means things can't get lost underneath.
Ottoman beds open up to reveal storage space the size of the entire bed base - far more than any chest of drawers. Gas struts lift the mattress easily so you can access everything without straining your back.
Side-opening ottomans work well when your bed sits against a wall, and end-opening ottomans do best when you have space at the foot. Storage depth ranges from 22cm to 35cm, depending on the frame height.
Guest beds solve the "where do visitors sleep" problem without dedicating entire rooms to occasional use. Trundle designs hide a second bed underneath that rolls out when your sister-in-law visits unexpectedly.
Zip and link systems separate king or super king beds into two singles when needed. Hotels use this flexibility extensively, and homes benefit when children want separate beds or couples prefer different mattress firmness levels.
Singles (3ft wide) work for children and small adult bedrooms. Double beds (4ft 6in) suit most couples without taking over the room. King size (5ft) gives you space to spread out without elbowing your partner. Super king beds (6ft wide) need big bedrooms, but make it feel like you’re sleeping in a hotel suite. Consider ceiling height for loft conversions and measure doorways before ordering larger mattresses.
