Double bed dimensions: we help you choose the size that suits your space and needs

Sleeping well starts with a choice that is often underestimated: the size of the double bed.
If it's too small, your nights will become a struggle for the blanket.
If it is too big, the room loses its balance.

At Morphea, we guide you to find the perfect double bed for your body, your mattress , your space and your lifestyle.

What size bed do I need for two people?

In France, standard dimensions vary depending on body type, the number of sleepers, and the size of the room. Here is a complete table to help you understand:

💡 Morphea tip : remember to leave at least 50 cm around the bed to move freely in the bedroom.

What is a 160x200 cm bed called?

The 160x200 cm bed is the famous Queen Size bed.
Today, it is the preferred format for couples, combining space, comfort and elegance.

Why choose it?

• An extra 20 cm in width, for significantly greater sleeping comfort.

• Excellent sleeping independence: each person moves freely.
  

• Compatible with all Morphea bedding: hybrid mattresses , pocket spring mattresses , slatted or upholstered bed bases.

What is the size of a 160x200 cm double bed?

It is a Queen Size double bed, 160 cm wide and 200 cm long.
A format designed for couples who want to feel close without feeling awkward.

The advantages of the Queen Size Morphea:

• Uniform support thanks to a thickness greater than average (up to 28 cm).
  

• Breathable materials for a cool sleep.
  

• A 10-year guarantee and a 100-night trial.

Can I put a 140x190 mattress on a 140x200 bed?

Yes, but it is strongly discouraged.
The 10cm gap at the foot of the bed causes misalignment of the bed base and progressive discomfort.

Morphea recommendation : always match mattress and bed base of the same size.
This is the key to optimal support and better sleeping independence.

What is the ideal bed size for a couple?

It all depends on your habits:

• If you like to sleep close together, the 140x200 cm size may be sufficient.
  

• For a perfect balance between space and coziness, choose the Queen Size bed (160x200 cm).
  

• For absolute comfort and total freedom, the King Size (180x200 cm) or the King Size+ (200x200 cm) remains unbeatable.
  

At Morphea, comfort for two always starts with bedding adapted to your lifestyle.

What type of bed base is suitable for a double bed?

The bed base is the foundation of sleeping comfort. It supports the mattress, improves air circulation, and extends the life of your bedding.

Recommended bed base types:

• slatted bed base : perfect for memory foam mattresses.
  

• Upholstered bed base : ideal for spring mattresses, for firm and balanced comfort.
  

• Slatted or articulated bed base : recommended for electric or adjustable beds.
  

Morphea's logistical tips:

• Check the passage in the stairwell or elevator for beds 160×200 and larger.
  

• Consider using two-part bed bases to facilitate delivery (2x80x200 = 160x200).
  

• Leave 10 cm of space between the bed base and the wall for better ventilation.
