Will My Bed Fit My Room? Free Bedroom Layout Checker
Pick a UK bed size and enter your room. We draw it to scale and check that you can get in and out on each side, reach the foot, and open any drawers or wardrobe doors, and tell you which sizes work.
A guide, not a guarantee. The checker works on a bed with its head against one wall in a plain rectangular room. It cannot see doors, windows, radiators or bedside tables, so check those with tape on the floor.
How to measure your bedroom
- Length of the head wall: the wall the head of the bed goes against, between the corners, doors or furniture it must fit between.
- Distance to the opposite wall: from the head wall straight across the room, to the wall or to a wardrobe that stands at the foot of the bed.
- The bed: choose the UK size, whether it has a frame or divan base, and any storage that opens. Not sure of the size? Use our bed size finder.
What gets checked
- Width of the wall: the bed, with its frame, has to fit the head wall.
- Space at the sides: room to get in and out, which matters for each person who sleeps in the bed.
- Space at the foot: room to walk, and to open drawers, an ottoman lid or hinged wardrobe doors.
- Every size at once: a table shows which UK sizes would fit this room, so you can see what a bigger or smaller bed would mean.

Frequently asked questions
How much space should there be round a bed?
About 60 cm on each side you get in from, and at the foot, is a comfortable minimum for most people. Bedrooms often manage less on one side, with the bed pushed against a wall, but two people each need a side to get in and out without climbing over each other.
Why does storage change the answer?
Drawers and ottoman lids need room to open. A set of drawers at the foot pulls out by about 50 cm, and you need to stand in front of them. The checker allows about 80 cm in front of anything that opens, so you can use it properly.
How much room do wardrobe doors need?
Sliding doors need about 60 cm to stand and reach in. Hinged doors need the width of the door to swing, so about 90 cm is a safer figure. If a wardrobe sits at the foot of the bed, that space is on top of the bed itself.
Does it matter if the bed is a divan or a frame?
A little. A divan is about the same size as the mattress. A wooden or metal frame is typically 10 cm wider and a few centimetres longer. A headboard adds to the length too, which is why you can enter its thickness.
Can I put the bed against a wall?
Yes, and many people do, especially in smaller rooms. For one sleeper it works well, because you get in from the open side. Two adults will want to be able to get in from both sides, so the checker looks at the space each side when the bed is centred.
What if the bed is in the middle of the room, not against a wall?
The checker is built for a bed with its head against a wall, which is how most are placed. For a bed in the middle of a room, add the headboard clearance to the room length and use the longer figure.
Can I use inches?
Yes. Switch to inches at the top of the form. Everything is calculated in centimetres and converted for you.
Is my data stored or sent anywhere?
No. The calculation runs in your browser. If you copy a results link, the measurements are in the link itself, and nothing else.
