Frequently asked questions

Is a king bed too big for a small room?

It can be. If your room is compact, a Double leaves more walkway. Use the room-fit calculator with your measurements to check.

Does The Sovereign Bed come in super king?

Not at the moment. It comes in Double (4ft 6in) and King (5ft).
