Double Bed with Mattress Bundles in UK and Ireland

A double bed with mattress bundle gives Irish and UK buyers the easiest path to a complete bedroom setup. Retailers across both markets now stock frames and mattresses sold together, with prices starting from €309 at budget outlets and climbing to premium packages at established chains.

Standard Double Size: 4ft6 (135×190cm) · Entry Price Example: €309 · Common Retailers: IKEA, Dreams.ie, Bargain Town · Availability Regions: Ireland, UK · Frame Options: Divan, Frame

Comparing retailers across regions reveals pricing patterns worth noting for cross-border shoppers.

The data confirms that the same SLATTUM frame costs roughly 10% more in Ireland than in the UK at current exchange rates.

Double bed with mattress included

Buying a frame and mattress together removes the guesswork of matching sizes and often works out cheaper than purchasing separately. At IKEA Ireland, a dedicated “beds with mattresses included” section lists options in single, double, king, and super king sizes.

The standout bundle is the LYNGÖR divan bed with Vesteröy firm mattress (article 095.533.03), priced at €553. The set includes pocket springs for comfort, a flat slat base for stability, and a washable mattress cover. IKEA notes that bed linen is sold separately, and legs come packaged in the box.

For those watching budgets, Adverts.ie carries 41 IKEA double bed frames listed second-hand in Ireland, with prices starting around €50 for basic frames. A used HEMNES frame with mattress occasionally appears for roughly €400.

Benefits of bundled sets

• Single purchase covers both major bedroom pieces
• Frame and mattress guaranteed to fit together
• Often cheaper than buying each item separately
• Simplifies delivery coordination

Popular included options

IKEA’s bundled offerings span different comfort preferences. The Vesteröy line uses pocket springs for targeted support, while other ranges include foam options for different firmness levels.

Those prioritizing long-term value should weigh the 10-year IKEA mattress guarantee against budget bundles that may use lower-density foam prone to sagging.

Double bed with mattress IKEA

IKEA dominates the market for double beds with mattresses across both Ireland and the UK. The retailer stocks frame-only options, mattress-only options, and ready-made bundles, giving shoppers flexibility depending on their budget and timeline.

Frame-only prices in Ireland start with the SLATTUM upholstered bed frame in Vissle dark grey at €129 for a standard double. The MALM high bed frame with two storage boxes costs €294, while the SONGESAND frame with matching storage boxes sits at €264.

In the UK, the equivalent SLATTUM frame is priced at £119. UK mattress options include the VESTERÖY pocket sprung mattress at £199, the VALEVÅG medium-firm version at £219, and the VÅGSTRANDA firm pocket sprung mattress at £349.

Regional pricing differs notably: the same SLATTUM frame costs roughly 10% more in Ireland (€129) than in the UK (£119, approximately €140 at current rates). Budget-conscious buyers in Northern Ireland may find cross-border shopping worthwhile for frame-only purchases.

IKEA double set range

The retailer categorises beds with mattresses included across all standard sizes, making it straightforward to filter by room requirements. Many models feature built-in storage, which appeals to buyers in smaller properties where maximising floor space matters.

Dublin availability

Both the IKEA Ireland store in Dublin and the online platform carry the same range. Delivery options extend to home assembly in most areas, though buyers should confirm lead times directly with IKEA as these fluctuate seasonally.

Double bed with mattress and headboard

Adding a headboard transforms a basic frame into a complete bedroom statement. Frame-and-headboard combinations range from minimalist slat designs to upholstered padded styles in various finishes.

The HEMNES bed frame from IKEA exemplifies the solid-wood approach: made from eco-friendly timber, it pairs well with a range of headboard styles and accommodates standard double mattresses. HEMNES bundles with the Akrehamn firm mattress appear on IKEA Ireland for double-size configurations.

Divan bases offer another route, with many incorporating the headboard as part of a coordinated set. The LYNGÖR divan works with various headboard attachments, allowing customisation without buying a separate frame.

Frame and headboard combos

When selecting a frame with headboard, check that the headboard attachment points match your chosen frame. Some retailers sell packages where both elements come pre-matched, while others allow mix-and-match purchasing.

Style examples

• White painted wood frames (HEMNES, MALM) suit contemporary bedrooms
• Dark grey upholstered frames (SLATTUM) add warmth to neutral spaces
• Natural oak finishes suit Scandinavian and minimalist interiors

The choice between pre-matched packages and mix-and-match purchasing affects both cost and customisation flexibility.

Double bed with mattress Ireland

Irish shoppers have several established routes for purchasing double beds with mattresses. Beyond IKEA, retailers like Dreams.ie and Harvey Norman stock extensive bedroom collections with varying price points and delivery arrangements.

Dreams.ie focuses specifically on beds and mattresses, offering 4ft6 double options across different firmness levels and materials. Harvey Norman provides a broader electronics-and-furniture range, often featuring seasonal promotions that bundle mattress and frame purchases.

Bargain Town positions itself at the value end, with entry-level double bed and mattress combinations starting around €309. Their range tends toward basic divan sets without the premium features found at full-service retailers.

Irish retailers overview

Double bed with mattress cheap

Finding an affordable double bed with mattress requires weighing new versus second-hand options and understanding which retailers deliver genuine value versus marketing speak.

The second-hand market in Ireland shows active listings for IKEA double frames: Adverts.ie currently carries 41 listings, with basic frames starting around €50 and the HEMNES with mattress occasionally listed for €400. In Northern Ireland, Gumtree shows 18 active IKEA double bed advertisements, with MALM white frames appearing from approximately £65.

For buyers preferring new purchases, The Range in the UK stocks affordable bed frames and occasional bundle deals. The key is checking what mattress quality the retailer includes — some budget bundles use lower-density foam that may sag within a few years.

Budget options

• Second-hand IKEA frames from €50 on Adverts.ie
• Used HEMNES with mattress around €400
• The Range budget frames in UK stores
• Bargain Town divan basics from €309

UK and Ireland deals

Cross-border differences affect final costs. UK buyers benefit from lower base prices on IKEA frames (£119 for SLATTUM versus €129 in Ireland), while Irish buyers have clearer access to bundle pricing details. Northern Ireland residents can access both markets, potentially finding the best of both regions.

A standard double bed has a mattress that is 200 cm long and 135 cm wide. It’s not the biggest bed size, but still big enough for two people to share the bed space and sleep comfortably.

The VESTERÖY pocket-sprung mattress available in the UK demonstrates IKEA’s approach to targeted support, with individual coils working independently to reduce motion transfer between sleepers.
