Double bed with mattress included
Retailers who bundle frame and mattress together take the guesswork out of compatibility — the slats, frame dimensions, and mattress size are guaranteed to match. That convenience comes at a price premium, but it removes the risk of buying mismatched components.
What sizes are available?
The standard double mattress at major Irish retailers measures 135 cm wide by 200 cm long, often expressed as “4ft6” in product listings. Some older stock or imported ranges still carry the shorter 190 cm length, so it is worth checking the exact dimension before purchasing if you are replacing existing bedding or sheets.
The table below shows the main double bed sizes currently circulating in the Irish market, including the legacy 190 cm length that still appears in some clearance stock.
| Size label | Dimensions |
|---|---|
| 4ft6 Standard Double | 135 cm × 200 cm |
| Legacy Double | 135 cm × 190 cm |
| King Size | 150 cm × 200 cm |
Price ranges for bundles
The most affordable IKEA double bed with mattress bundle is the HEMNES frame paired with a firm Akrehamn mattress, priced around €400 at time of publication. Entry-level divan sets from retailers like Bargaintown.ie start from €309, though the mattress quality in that range reflects the lower price point.
Budget bundles under €350 tend to pair foam mattresses with solid wood or engineered wood frames — the frame holds up fine, but the mattress will typically need replacing within 5–7 years. For long-term use, spending closer to €450–€550 on a hybrid or pocket-spring mattress bundled with a sturdy frame works out cheaper than replacing a budget mattress twice.
Double bed with mattress ikea
IKEA dominates the Irish market for double beds with mattress deals, partly because their model naming is consistent across regions and partly because their Dublin store and online shop share identical pricing — no regional surprises. Their double bed offering spans basic pine frames at the low end to hybrid mattress bundles at the premium end.
IKEA models and features
The MALM high bed frame is IKEA’s most recognisable double frame — it costs €219 in white with Luröy slats, and adding two under-bed storage boxes brings the total to €294. The BRIMNES series targets buyers in smaller spaces, with hidden storage compartments built into the frame structure at €349. Both frames work with the full range of IKEA double mattresses.
- NEIDEN pine bed frame: €99 (cheapest new IKEA double bed frame)
- TARVA pine bed frame: €159
- SLATTUM upholstered frame: €129 (rated 4.5/5 from 14 reviews)
- MALM high frame: €219 (white and black-brown variants)
- SONGESAND with 2 storage boxes: €264
- BRIMNES with storage and headboard: €349
The range demonstrates how IKEA prices their double beds from budget pine to premium storage solutions, with the cheapest frame at €99 and the most feature-rich option at €349.
Availability in Ireland
IKEA’s online shop lists all double bed frames with current pricing and stock indicators. The Dublin store carries the full standard range, and prices match the online store exactly. Delivery is available Ireland-wide, though lead times vary outside major urban areas.
IKEA’s 10-year mattress guarantee is standard across their range — from the €135 ÅFJÄLL foam mattress to the €549 ÅNNELAND hybrid. The guarantee applies regardless of purchase channel, making online orders from IKEA Ireland just as covered as in-store buys.
Double Bed with Mattress Ireland
Beyond IKEA, the Irish market includes several specialists who either focus exclusively on beds and mattresses or carry them as a core category alongside home furnishings. Each brings a different mix of price points, service models, and stock profiles.
Top Irish retailers
Dreams.ie has built its reputation on sleep-focused expertise, stocking 4ft6 double frames alongside curated mattress bundles with a comfort-first approach. Mattress Mick operates from Dublin with a strong focus on mattress knowledge and frame options, making it a practical choice if you want advice before committing. Harry Corry offers a broader home furnishings range including bed sets in multiple materials and colourways, while Bargaintown.ie competes primarily on price for the divan category.
Irish shoppers can choose from these specialists depending on whether they prioritise expertise, price, or design variety.
| Retailer | Double bed focus | Price entry point |
|---|---|---|
| Bargaintown.ie | Divan bundles, value-led | €309 |
| Dreams.ie | Comfort expertise, 4ft6 focus | Varies |
| Mattress Mick | Dublin-based, sleep specialists | Varies |
| Harry Corry | Material variety, bed sets | Varies |
| JYSK | Scandinavian-style frames, affordability | Varies |
Local delivery options
Most Irish bed retailers offer county-wide delivery for large items, with some waiving delivery fees above a spend threshold. IKEA Ireland delivers nationwide through their logistics network, while smaller specialists may use third-party couriers for non-store areas.
Double beds for sale with mattress
Whether you are browsing online collections or walking into a showroom, the main decision is whether to buy new or explore the used market. Both have merit depending on your budget, timeline, and willingness to assemble.
Current deals
Promotional pricing on double bed with mattress sets typically peaks ahead of major moving periods — late spring and early autumn. DoneDeal.ie currently lists 32 ads for IKEA double beds and mattresses in Ireland, with prices ranging from around €300 for complete setups up to €500 for premium configurations.
Used mattress purchases carry hygiene considerations — reputable sellers will disclose whether a mattress has been used, and some buyers prefer to replace the mattress separately while reusing a quality frame. Frame condition is easier to assess remotely than mattress condition.
Frame and mattress combos
The MALM bed frame with Vesteröy firm mattress bundle costs €468 for a white Standard Double from IKEA directly. This represents a meaningful saving over buying the same components separately — the frame at €219 and the Vesteröy mattress at around €250 would total more than the bundle price.
The table below compares different MALM and BRIMNES bundle configurations to help Irish buyers evaluate storage versus non-storage options.
| Bundle combination | Approximate total | Storage included |
|---|---|---|
| MALM + Vesteröy firm mattress | €468 | No |
| MALM + 2 storage boxes | €294 | Yes |
| SONGESAND + 2 storage boxes | €264 | Yes |
| BRIMNES + storage + headboard | €349 | Yes |
Double bed and mattress deals Ireland
The best value in Ireland right now clusters around three scenarios: budget bundles under €350 for first-home buyers, mid-range frame-plus-hybrid-mattress combinations for long-term sleep quality, and storage-focused deals for buyers in space-constrained homes.
Best value options
For buyers prioritising price above all else, the NEIDEN pine frame at €99 paired with an ÅFJÄLL foam mattress at €135 totals €234 — well under the €350 mark and backed by a 10-year guarantee from IKEA Ireland. The trade-off is mattress thickness (12 cm versus 24 cm for the premium ÅNNELAND hybrid) and foam versus spring construction.
A €135 foam mattress will compress and sag faster than a pocket-spring or hybrid equivalent — if you weigh over 80 kg or share the bed, budget foam often does not last the full 10-year guarantee period in practice. For couples or heavier sleepers, the ÅNNELAND hybrid at €549 paired with a MALM frame at €219 (total €768) pays for itself in mattress longevity.
JYSK and others
JYSK carries Scandinavian-style double beds at competitive prices, though their Irish online presence and store stock vary more than IKEA’s. They are worth checking if you already have a JYSK nearby, but their pricing and range transparency online does not match IKEA’s level of detail.
Upsides
- Bundles eliminate size mismatches between frame and mattress
- IKEA’s 10-year mattress guarantee covers both budget and premium tiers
- Storage options in frames like MALM and BRIMNES add practical value
- Used market on DoneDeal.ie offers working alternatives under €300
Downsides
- Budget foam mattresses (12 cm) degrade faster for heavier users
- Storage boxes add cost but reduce ground clearance
- Legacy 190 cm length mattresses still circulate — always check exact dimensions
- Promotional windows are not publicly announced in advance
A standard double bed has a mattress that is 200 cm long and 135 cm wide. It is not the biggest bed size, but still big enough for two people to share the bed space and sleep comfortably.

Frequently asked questions
What dimensions does a double bed have?
A standard double mattress in Ireland measures 135 cm wide by 200 cm long (commonly listed as 4ft6). Some older imported sets or clearance stock may still be 190 cm long, so always verify the exact dimension before purchasing if you need to match existing bedding.
Can I get a double bed with mattress delivered in Ireland?
Yes. IKEA Ireland offers nationwide delivery for all bed frames and mattresses, with identical pricing to their Dublin store. Other Irish retailers including Dreams.ie, Mattress Mick, and Bargaintown.ie also offer delivery services across the Republic of Ireland, though terms and lead times vary by retailer and location.
What is the difference between double and king beds?
A standard double is 135 cm wide while a king-size mattress is 150 cm wide — an extra 15 cm that makes a meaningful difference for two adults sharing the bed. The king also comes in a longer 200 cm length standard, versus the 135 × 190 option sometimes found in legacy double stock.
Are there storage options for double beds?
Yes. Several retailers offer double beds with built-in or add-on storage. The MALM high bed frame with two under-bed storage boxes costs €294, while the BRIMNES frame includes multiple hidden compartments as part of its standard design at €349. Storage boxes add €75–€130 to frame prices depending on the model.
How do I choose a mattress for a double bed?
Match mattress type to your sleep profile: foam mattresses like the ÅFJÄLL (12 cm, firm, €135) suit lighter sleepers or guest rooms, while hybrid mattresses like the ÅNNELAND (24 cm, pocket springs, €549) handle heavier weights and shared beds better. Always verify the mattress is sized for your frame — 135 × 200 cm is the standard double.
What warranty comes with double bed sets?
IKEA mattresses carry a 10-year guarantee across their full range, from the entry-level ÅFJÄLL foam to the premium ÅNNELAND hybrid. Other Irish retailers offer varying warranty terms — typically 1–5 years on frames and 1–10 years on mattresses depending on the brand and retailer.
Is assembly required for double bed frames?
All flat-pack double bed frames require assembly, typically taking 30–90 minutes depending on the model’s complexity. IKEA frames come with clear instructions and the required tools. Some retailers offer paid assembly services in Dublin and surrounding areas — check with the individual store.
For Irish buyers, the choice between a bundled double bed with mattress and buying separately comes down to priority: save money now with a budget foam combo under €350, or invest in a hybrid mattress and sturdy frame that outlasts multiple cheaper replacements. IKEA’s pricing transparency and 10-year guarantee make them the clearest benchmark, but regional specialists like Dreams.ie and Mattress Mick offer service advantages worth considering if you want hands-on advice before buying.
