Your guide to choosing bedroom furniture you'll love

Your bed is the largest item in the room and the one you'll use most, so it's the smartest place to start. Get this right and the rest of the room falls into place around it.

Bed frames and bedheads

A good bed frame sets the tone for the whole room, so think about the look you're going for before you shop. Our online bed frames and bedheads come in timber-look, upholstered, metal and fabric styles, so there's something to suit a cosy cottage feel or a sleek, modern look; whatever you’re after! A bedhead does more than finish the look too; it supports you when you're sitting up to read and protects the wall behind your bed from scuffs. If you're after something a little different, our online bed frames range has extra styles and sizes available to order.

How to choose your bed frame

Style first: decide the look you're going for before you shop, since the frame sets the tone for the whole room. The range spans timber-look, upholstered, metal and fabric, so you can match a cosy cottage feel or a sleek, modern look.

Function of the bed: Bedheads aren’t just decorative. It supports you when you're sitting up to read and protects the wall behind your bed from scuffs. Some bed frames also offer hidden storage in underbed drawers or gas-lift storage.

Fit and space: measure your room and leave at least 60cm of walking space around the bed so it feels open rather than crowded.

A great mattress is the difference between waking up refreshed and tossing and turning all night, so it's worth taking your time here.

Start with the size. Think about how much room you have and how much space you like to stretch out, then match the mattress to your space and who's sleeping in it. As a quick guide, here's how our sizes compare.

Then think about feel. If you like a firmer, more supportive surface, or you wake up with a sore back, our memory foam and hybrid mattresses mould to your body and hold their shape night after night. Prefer something softer underfoot? Add a mattress topper for an extra layer of cushioning on top. Our full range of bed mattresses is available online only, all at incredibly low prices.

Single Mattresses

A single mattress suits kids' rooms and guest beds beautifully, measuring roughly 92cm wide. It gives one sleeper plenty of comfort without taking up much floor space. If you'd like a little extra legroom, a king single (around 107cm wide) is a great step up that still fits a compact room.

Double Mattresses

A double mattress (around 138cm wide) gives a single sleeper room to spread out, or suits couples in a cosier bedroom. It's a popular choice for teens or a spare room where you're tight on space.

Queen Mattresses

A queen mattress (around 153cm wide) is our most popular size and a great fit for most main bedrooms. It gives couples comfortable room to move while leaving space to walk around the bed. It's the easy choice if you're not sure where to start, all at low prices you'll love.

King Mattresses

A king mattress (around 183cm wide) is the roomiest option, ideal if you love to stretch out or share the bed with kids and pets. Just make sure your room is large enough to fit it with walking space around the edges.

Good storage is what keeps a bedroom feeling calm and clutter-free, so think about what you need to tuck away before you buy. The trick is to match your storage to your space and your habits, not just to fill a corner.

Drawers and a chest of drawers

A chest of drawers is a true bedroom workhorse: it holds all your folded clothes and doubles as a surface for a lamp or a few framed photos. Our drawers come in low and tall designs, so you can pick a low set to sit under a window or a taller one to make the most of a narrow wall. If you need something you can move around, our storage drawers and trolleys are easy to roll wherever they're needed. Hot tip: tall drawers are a clever choice for smaller rooms because they store more without taking up much floor space.

Bookshelves and shelving units

For books, décor and the bits you like on show, our bookshelves and shelving units add storage and personality without eating up much floor space. Going up rather than out is one of the smartest small bedroom storage ideas, since it draws the eye upward and keeps the floor clear. Tuck baskets or storage tubs and boxes onto the lower shelves to hide away anything you'd rather not display, and use a dedicated bedroom storage solution for out-of-season bits. If the room is shared with little ones, our kids storage makes it easy for them to help tidy up too, all at low prices you'll love.

Keep clothes and shoes sorted

Once the larger items are sorted, it's time to tackle clothes and shoes, the things that tend to pile up fastest. The right setup here makes your morning routine so much easier.

Garment racks

If your wardrobe is bursting, a garment rack gives you extra hanging space and works brilliantly as an open wardrobe in rooms without built-ins. It's also handy for laying out tomorrow's outfit or airing clothes after a wash. Set one up in a hallway or by the door alongside our entryway storage for a spot to grab coats and bags on your way out.

Shoe storage

Wondering how to store shoes in a small space? The answer is to go vertical. Our shoe storage keeps pairs off the floor and easy to find, whether you choose a freestanding rack or a closed cabinet. Store out-of-season shoes up high and keep your everyday pairs at eye level for a tidy, grab-and-go setup. While you're sorting accessories, add some jewellery storage to keep necklaces untangled and on display, and a little beauty storage to keep your morning bits in one place at our famously low prices.

With the essentials in place, the fun part begins. Finishing touches are what turn a functional room into a space that feels completely yours.

Bedside tables

A bedside table is a bedroom essential: it gives you somewhere to rest a lamp and keep your phone close overnight. Pick a height that sits roughly level with the top of your mattress, so everything's easy to reach from bed. Top it with one of our bedside table lamps for a soft, cosy glow that's perfect for winding down at the end of the day.

Lounge chairs and the extras

If you've got the floor space, a comfy lounge chair creates the perfect spot to read a chapter before bed or pull on your shoes in the morning. It's a small addition that makes a room feel considered and complete. Styling a kids' room? Our kids furniture has scaled-down options that work beautifully in smaller spaces. Once everything's in place, a quick look through our storage and organisation range helps you tie the whole room together at low prices.

Creating a bedroom you love doesn't have to be complicated. Start with a great bed, then build the storage and finishing touches around it. Take it one category at a time and you'll end up with a room that's calm and completely yours. With everything you need in one place at incredibly low prices, it's never been easier to bring your dream bedroom to life.
