This double bed design gallery covers the bed most Indian couples sleep on, in every width a carpenter builds: 4 by 6, 4.5 by 6, 5 by 6.25 and the 6 ft king. People search for it as dabal bed design or dubal bed design, but the brief they give the workshop is always the same: fit the room, hold the quilts, look good for years.
Under every picture you get mattress width and length, wood or board with its finish, where things get stored, plus one line for your carpenter. Wooden frames come first, then modern laminate looks, storage beds, cushioned headboards and plain everyday frames.
Need a narrower or wider size? This page is the hub for all of them, from single beds to king size beds, with the full list in the guide below.
Wooden Double Bed Design Photos in Teak, Sheesham and Mango
Solid timber is still the first choice for a bed that should outlast the flat. These wooden double bed design picks show three woods and three moods.
- SizeDouble 48 x 75 in
- BuildTeak, natural matte PU
- StorageLift-up box
Horizontal slats in sagwan keep the sirana light and airy, and the box below swallows winter razais. Fits a calm, earthy room.
Tell your carpenterAsk that slats are fixed into grooves at both ends, so none can twist loose after a dry summer.
- SizeQueen 60 x 78 in
- BuildSheesham, dark walnut PU
- Storage2 side drawers
The arch softens a boxy room, and a row of small brass studs along the edge adds a quiet festive touch.
Tell your carpenterRequest solid sheesham for the arch, not a ply cutout with a veneer face, and check stud spacing is even.
- SizeDouble 48 x 72 in
- BuildMango wood, honey wax
- StorageNone, open legs
Raised on legs, this frame lets the broom reach under every day. Mango wood keeps it lighter on the pocket than teak.
Tell your carpenterOrder the legs at least 6 inches high if you want a mop or a storage basket to slide under.
Modern Double Bed Design with Floating Bases and Lights
Modern double bed design in India leans on laminate, veneer and hidden light. The frames look simple, but the details cost care. More in the modern bed gallery.
- SizeQueen 60 x 75 in
- BuildPly, charcoal laminate
- StorageHydraulic lift
Setting the base back from the edge makes the bed seem to hover. A soft strip light below doubles as a night lamp.
Tell your carpenterRecess the base at least 4 inches and keep the light driver in a reachable slot for repair.
- SizeDouble 48 x 75 in
- BuildPly, white and oak lam.
- StorageHydraulic lift
A wide headboard with built-in niches replaces bedside tables in a tight room. White and oak keep it bright.
Tell your carpenterKeep niche depth near 6 inches and line them with laminate so phones and water glasses do not mark the board.
- SizeKing 72 x 75 in
- BuildPly, smoked grey veneer
- StorageLift-up box
The headboard tilts back slightly, so sitting up to read is easier on the neck. Grey veneer keeps a quiet look.
Tell your carpenterAsk for a 10 to 15 degree tilt on the headboard and solid wood edging on top where hands rest.
Box and Hydraulic Double Beds with Storage
Storage is why most families pick a double bed ka design with a box. Drawers, lift-up lids and gas lift pistons each suit a different room. The box bed gallery goes deeper.
- SizeQueen 60 x 75 in
- BuildPly, walnut laminate
- StorageHydraulic lift
A full lift top uses every inch of the base. Good where the bed stands against a wall and side drawers would not open.
Tell your carpenterPistons come labelled 150, 200 or 300 kg; tell the carpenter your mattress thickness so he picks the right pair.
- SizeDouble 48 x 75 in
- BuildPly, ivory laminate
- Storage6 side drawers
Six drawers sort clothes, linen and files without lifting anything. Works when both sides of the bed have open floor.
Tell your carpenterUse 18 mm ply for drawer boxes and check each drawer runs smooth on its channel before delivery.
- SizeDouble 48 x 72 in
- BuildPly, teak laminate
- StorageHead box and lift-up
A head box adds a deep shelf behind the pillows for books, medicines and a phone charger. Base storage stays separate.
Tell your carpenterBring a power point behind the head box before installing, and leave a cable hole in the back panel.
Stylish Double Bed Design Photos with Cushioned Headboards
Padding makes a bed comfortable to lean on and adds colour without paint. These new stylish double bed design looks use three popular fabrics.
- SizeQueen 60 x 75 in
- BuildPly, emerald velvet
- StorageLift-up box
Deep green velvet with button tufting reads rich in lamp light. Pair it with light walls so it does not darken the room.
Tell your carpenterAsk for buttons stitched through to the board, not just glued, so they stay put when you lean back.
- SizeDouble 48 x 75 in
- BuildPly, tan leatherette
- StorageHydraulic lift
Leatherette wipes clean, so hair oil marks lift off easily. Hot west-facing rooms are hard on it over time.
Tell your carpenterKeep the headboard out of strong window sun; leatherette can peel over years in heat.
- SizeQueen 60 x 78 in
- BuildPly, blush linen fabric
- Storage2 foot drawers
Scalloped tops are a recent favourite for a soft, cheerful room. Blush linen-look fabric pairs well with brass and white.
Tell your carpenterAsk for a removable zip cover on the headboard so it can be dry cleaned without dismantling.
Simple Double Bed Design for Everyday Rooms
A simple double bed design costs less, cleans easily and never looks dated. These three skip extras but keep good proportions. See more on the simple bed page.
- SizeDouble 48 x 72 in
- BuildPly, cream laminate
- StorageLift-up box
Rounded corners save shins in a tight room. A flat headboard keeps the cost down and pairs with any wall colour.
Tell your carpenterAsk for a radius of about 2 inches on each corner and edge band that bends cleanly without gaps.
- SizeDouble 48 x 72 in
- BuildMS tube, white powder
- StorageNone, open legs
Light enough for two people to carry up the stairs, and quick to assemble with bolts. Suits rented homes and hostels.
Tell your carpenterCheck the slat base has a centre support leg , or the mattress will slump at its centre.
- SizeDouble 48 x 75 in
- BuildRubberwood, clear melamine
- StorageNone, slat base
Rubberwood weighs little, is easier on cost than teak, and a clear finish shows its pale grain. A good first bed for a new home.
Tell your carpenterMake sure the timber is treated against borers, since rubberwood is soft and attracts them if left raw.
Indian Double Bed Sizes and How Much Room Each One Needs
Carpenters name beds by feet; mattress sellers use inches. Match the two before any wood is cut, because the frame is built around the mattress you buy. Type your room into the size checker further up this page to see which width still leaves enough floor.
| Shop name | Mattress, inches | Frame, roughly | Room it suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 by 6 (double) | 48 wide, 72 long | about 52 x 78 | Small rooms, single sleeper with space |
| 4.5 by 6 | 54 wide, less common | about 58 x 78 | Carpenter middle size, check mattress first |
| 5 by 6.25 (queen) | 60 wide, 75 long | about 64 x 81 | Most couples in a medium room |
| 6 by 6.25 (king) | 72 wide, 75 long | about 76 x 81 | Large master rooms |
Frame figures here are a guide: a padded sirana or thick side rails add more. Plan two feet minimum of free floor on each side you use to get in, nearer three if you can, and about three feet before wardrobe shutters.

Solid Wood or Plywood for a Double Bed
| Point | Solid wood frame | Plywood with laminate or veneer |
|---|---|---|
| Look | Real grain all through, can be carved | Any colour or grain sheet |
| Storage boxes | Heavy if the whole box is timber | Easy, sides from MR grade sheet |
| Monsoon | Moves a little, needs seasoned wood | Stable, seal every edge |
| Repair | Can be sanded and repolished | Damaged laminate needs a new sheet |
| Cost drivers | Species, thickness, carving | Fittings, veneer, PU finish |
Many homes mix both: a teak or sheesham outer frame hiding a ply storage box. The wooden bed and plywood bed pages compare them in depth.
Double Bed Troubles and What Fixes Them
| What goes wrong | Why | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Mattress slides past the edge | Frame built before the mattress was bought | Add a lip strip inside the frame, or reorder to the true size |
| Middle of the bed sags | No centre support under a wide top | Ask for a centre rail with a leg |
| Wardrobe door hits the bed | Room measured against the mattress, not the frame | Choose drawers at the foot or a smaller width |
| Box smells damp after rains | Closed box with no airing | Open the lid on sunny days, keep a moisture absorber inside |
Questions people ask
What is the standard double bed size in India?
A true double takes a 48 inch wide mattress, usually 72 or 75 inches long. Many families say double bed for any bed two people share, including queen and king. Ask the shop for the mattress width in inches to be sure.
Which is the latest double bed design right now?
Floating bases with a soft under light, fluted or channel stitched headboards and hydraulic storage are popular this season. Warm wood tones paired with fabric are also back. Pick what suits your room rather than chasing every trend.
Is a dabal bed design with a box better than one on legs?
A box gives storage, which most Indian flats need. Legs make cleaning under the bed easy and feel lighter in small rooms. If you choose a box, pick hydraulic or drawers based on whether the bed stands against a wall.
How thick should the plywood be for a double bed?
Most workshops cut the side walls and lid from 18 or 19 mm sheet. For an indoor room that stays dry, MR grade does the job. Thinner sheets can be used for drawer bottoms and back panels.
Can a double bed ke design include a dressing table or wardrobe?
Yes, many carpenters build a matching set with the same laminate or polish. Plan the layout first so the wardrobe doors still open fully with the bed in place. See the bed with wardrobe page for ideas.
Which bedroom double bed design suits a small room?
A 4 by 6 bed with drawers at the foot or a hydraulic top keeps floor space free. A low headboard and light colours stop the bed from crowding the room. Avoid wide side tables and use a headboard shelf instead.
