A double bedstead is a frame specifically designed to support a double mattress, typically measuring 138–153 cm wide in Australia. In simple terms, it’s the structure that holds your mattress, elevates it off the floor, and provides stability and support. Unlike basic bed frames or platforms, bedsteads often feature decorative headboards, footboards, and side rails, making them both functional and stylish.
Here’s why Australians love double bedsteads: they combine practicality with interior design flair, creating a focal point in the bedroom while ensuring a comfortable and supportive base for sleep.

Double bedsteads are available in a wide array of designs, materials, and finishes to suit different bedrooms and personal tastes. Here are the main types available in Australia:
Made from solid timber, these provide durability and timeless appeal. Popular woods include oak, pine, and mahogany. Ideal for traditional or rustic bedrooms.
Steel or iron bedsteads are sleek, durable, and often feature intricate detailing. They suit industrial, vintage, or minimalist interiors.
Soft fabric or leather coverings offer a plush, modern look. These often include padded headboards for extra comfort while reading or relaxing.
Double bedsteads with built-in drawers or under-bed storage combine functionality with design, ideal for smaller bedrooms.
Low-profile, contemporary designs that work with memory foam or hybrid mattresses. Often feature minimalist aesthetics with a focus on clean lines.
Intricately carved wood or metal bedsteads for a statement piece in the bedroom. Perfect for adding character or a vintage charm.
Selecting the right double bedstead involves considering size, style, material, and bedroom layout. Here’s a practical guide for Australians shopping for double bedsteads:
Measure Your Bedroom
Ensure the bedstead fits comfortably with enough room to move around. A double bedstead typically requires a minimum of 2.4 m by 2.4 m of floor space including walking areas.
Decide on Material
Wood for warmth and durability, metal for sleekness and longevity, or upholstered for comfort and style.
Consider Mattress Compatibility
Choose a bedstead that suits your mattress type—innerspring, memory foam, or hybrid mattresses. Some bedsteads work better with slatted bases, while others support a solid platform.
Storage Needs
If your bedroom is compact, consider bedsteads with built-in drawers or storage space underneath.
Match Your Bedroom Style
Classic wooden bedsteads suit traditional interiors, while upholstered or metal bedsteads complement modern or eclectic designs.
Budget Considerations
Prices vary depending on material, brand, and features. House of Isabella offers options across a wide price range, with flexible payment via Afterpay & Zip.
