A double bed is a type of bed designed to accommodate two people. It typically measures 54 inches wide by 75 inches long, providing enough space for couples to sleep comfortably. Double beds are popular in many households and are often used in guest rooms and smaller bedrooms. These beds can come in various styles and materials, including wood, metal, and upholstered designs. They are usually paired with a mattress that fits the dimensions of the bed frame. Accessories like bed linens, pillows, and mattress protectors are commonly used to enhance comfort and hygiene.
