French Double Size Beds

A perfect balance between a queen-size bed and a standard double, French double-size beds offer unique versatility. They are ideal for single sleepers who want extra space or couples looking for a comfortable solution in rooms where space constraints prevent a standard double bed.

LeComfort’s collection includes a variety of styles to match both aesthetic and functional needs. You can choose from sleek, modern designs or opt for French beds with elegant capitonné detailing, adding a timeless charm to your bedroom.

Additionally, you can customize the bed frame with a practical storage compartment or a space-saving structure.

French Double-Size Bed Sizes (140 cm)

French beds get their name because they match the standard double bed size in France! Unlike standard double beds in Italy, which typically measure 160×190 cm, French beds are slightly narrower, with a typical width of 140×190 cm.

 

At LeComfort, French beds feature an elegant upholstered headboard and are available in the following sizes:

  • 140×190 (standard)
  • 140×200 (long)
  • 140×210 (extra long)

 

* check the technical sheet of each model for available dimensions.

 

Although slightly smaller than a standard double, French beds are still considered full-size beds and are often chosen for hotel rooms due to their versatility and space-saving design.

How to Optimize Space Without Sacrificing Style

Thanks to their compact size, French beds allow you to furnish your bedroom elegantly while preserving valuable floor space.

 

In homes or apartments with limited square footage, bedrooms often have restricted dimensions, making it essential to choose space-saving furniture that still leaves room for other essential pieces.

 

A French double-size bed helps reduce the volume of a standard double bed, providing more free space around it—all without compromising on style! At LeComfort, you’ll find classic and modern models, which can be further enhanced by your choice of fabric, texil, or leather upholstery.

How to Furnish a Room with a French Bed

By now, you’ve probably realized that a French bed is the perfect choice for small apartments, as well as for those looking for a space-saving solution in a vacation home. It offers the right balance between functionality and comfort. Here are some tips to help you furnish your room efficiently and make it look more spacious!

 

  1. Choose space-saving furniture: Opt for built-in wardrobes or overhead storage units to make the most of every corner without sacrificing functionality.
  2. Make use of storage beds: Select a French double-size bed with a storage compartment. This allows you to store linens, blankets, and pillows, freeing up space in your closets.
  3. Use mirrors to visually expand the space: Mirrors are a great trick to make a room appear larger and brighter. Place a wall mirror opposite a window to reflect natural light and create a sense of openness.
  4. Avoid heavy, dark colors: Light colors on walls and furniture help give the room a bright and airy feel. Opt for shades like white, beige, or soft pastels, and add pops of color through pillows, curtains, or rugs.
  5. Go for minimalist lighting: Avoid bulky table or floor lamps and instead choose wall-mounted or pendant lights, such as spotlights and LEDs, to keep the space uncluttered while ensuring even lighting.
  6. Think multifunctional: Bedside tables with drawers, storage poufs or benches can help maximize storage space intelligently.

 

Less is more – Avoid overcrowding the room with too many decorative elements. A minimalist and functional design will create a cozy and clutter-free atmosphere.
