im switching room at home, moving from a 2m square to a 2 x 3 meter room, the extra space will be nice

so to celebrate it, ive figured i can get a double bed in there just about (7 foot gap to the desk in there)

problem being im not sure if i can get a chair down the side for the desk or if the bed will be high enough to sit on instead
(double bed is 4 foot 6 inch wide from all the sites ive looked on)




sodding all that so far, can anyone name some shops i can hunt down?

only know of two at the minute in derby and only really looked in argos and mfi online.

This one on argos looks ok but ive no idea on the quality of em




any advice ?  :?

Beware that the IKEA standard bed (and their mattresses) are 10cm or so longer than a standard UK mattress.
Are you 10cm taller than average Max?

For mattresses online I can recommend Mattress Man!

I also bought a pine bed for spare room recently from Pine solutions, but I think that for pine beds mostly theyre much of a muchness. This one seems good value http://www.pinesolutions.co.uk/acatalog/Pine_Flat_Pack_Double_Bed.html

They have oak stuff too if you can afford it.

Actually when I said Max I was talking to Max the IKEA shareholder Forgot you were Max too! Sorry

Having a slatted frame gives you a bit more flexibility in choosing a mattress and shoving stuff underneath. plus you can often take them apart IKEA style when moving etc.
Id be tempted to spend more money on a good pocket sprung mattress and scrimp on the bed frame if possible, as you actually sleep on the mattress! You want a seat back also really to sit at a desk imho.

Yup, we Swedes, being experts in the passionate arts, have made noise free mattresses an art form.

Im 62", of strapping fellerness, so I enjoy a long bed. An American double is too short for me.
