Quick Answer: Mattress Miracle sells double bed frames from $190 for a folding metal frame to $1,440 for the Beaudoin Chelsea, with 28 in this collection. A double is the same size as a full: the Sleep Foundation gives both as 54 by 75 inches. Frames deliver in Ontario, free on most online orders of $500 or more and $80 below that.
Double bed frame size: is a full the same as a double?
Yes. A double frame and a full frame hold the same mattress, 54 inches wide by 75 inches long. The Sleep Foundation lists that as the full size, "also known as a double bed." Stores use both names, and you'll see both on this page: 20 of our double frame listings say Double and 8 say Full. Beaudoin, which makes most of them, labels the size Full (54" x 75") on its own spec pages. Our Canadian double bed size guide gives the same numbers in centimetres.
A double is wide for one sleeper and snug for two. Split 54 inches down the middle and each person gets 27 inches. The Sleep Foundation puts a queen at 6 inches wider and 5 inches longer than a full. It also notes that sleepers 6 feet or taller may find their feet past the end of a 75-inch bed. If either of those sounds like your house, compare our queen bed frames before you decide.
Room size is the other check. The Sleep Foundation says a room of about 120 square feet fits a full bed along with the rest of your bedroom furniture. Measure the frame, too, since a padded headboard or a storage footboard adds inches the mattress size doesn't show. Our bed frame buying guide for Canadian homes explains how to measure a room for each frame style.
Dorothy Balicki, Mattress Miracle: "A double is the sweet spot for a single sleeper who wants real room to move without taking up a queen's footprint. I recommend it often for teens transitioning from a single and for adults in studio apartments where a queen would dominate the entire room."

The foldable metal double frame at $190 is the lowest price on the page. It folds flat for a closet, which suits a spare room or a sofa-bed stand-in, and its own listing points daily sleepers toward a permanent frame. For a teen's room or a first apartment, look at the Padded Bed Frame with a faux leather headboard ($425) and the Elysian Velvet Platform ($380). Both are listed as platform beds, so the mattress goes straight on top. Our double platform beds collection adds four more doubles between $510 and $650, among them Beaudoin's Level platform at $510 and two IFDC beds with side drawers.
The storage option is listed under its queen name, but the frame with storage underneath also comes in a double for $495, with drawers that slide out from under the mattress. It's the one to look at when a small bedroom has no space for a dresser.
Beaudoin says its beds are "entirely conceived and manufactured in Canada." Each double comes in 14 fabrics and most models are sold two ways, with a Woodland footboard or an Absolute footboard. The Ennis upholstered double starts the range at $1,240. Beaudoin lists the Ennis with a 17-inch base and a 49-inch total height. The Adam ($1,400) has the same 17-inch base, a 54-inch total height and an 850 lb weight capacity. At the top of the range, the Chelsea upholstered bed with a Woodland footboard is $1,440.
Does a double bed frame need a box spring?
A double bed frame needs a box spring only if it is built to hold one and your mattress calls for one. The three IFDC platform frames on this page need nothing added; for the folding frame, ask us which mattresses it suits. Beaudoin offers its upholstered beds, the Adam and the Ennis among them, with either a particle platform or a box spring support, and the box spring is not included with the support version. If you go the box spring route, a double box spring from $139.99 comes 2, 5 or 7 1/2 inches tall, so you can set how high the bed sits.
Foam, latex and most hybrid mattresses sit fine on a platform. A traditional innerspring sold as a set with a box spring may need that box spring to keep its warranty. Read the warranty card before you pick the platform version of a Beaudoin bed. The warranty card also sets the slat-gap and centre-support rules, which vary by maker. Our comparison of slats and box springs covers which mattress types need which.
Two add-ons fit a double frame. Beaudoin lists the Adam and the Ennis as compatible with adjustable bases, and we carry double adjustable bases from $999.95. And if you'd rather keep a frame you own and just change the look, our double headboards start at $350 for the Ennis.
Double bed frame delivery and setup in Ontario
Mattress Miracle delivers double bed frames within Ontario only; frames don't go by courier to the rest of Canada. Most online orders get free white glove delivery and setup within 200 km of Brantford, which reaches from Paris and St. George through Stoney Creek and Milton to Mississauga, Toronto, London and Peterborough. For the longest drives the crew may add a small fee, and we give you the figure when you book.
On this page, the $500 line decides the delivery charge. Furniture orders under $500 pay $80 delivery in Ontario. That covers each IFDC double bought alone, from the $190 folding frame and the Elysian Velvet Platform double at $380 to the storage frame at $495. Every Beaudoin double is over the line. If the frame replaces an old bed, we take the old mattress away for $20 when we deliver.
Pairing a double mattress with the frame
A double frame and a double mattress bought together count as one order, and the order total decides the $80. Two examples from today's double prices: the $190 folding frame with a C.J. Mulholland Series 4000 double mattress ($297) comes to $487 and still pays $80. The Padded Bed Frame ($425) with a Sleep In Ortho Care double ($675) comes to $1,100, and delivery is free. Our advisors' usual advice holds for doubles too: if the budget is tight, spend it on the mattress first.
Both names are in use for one size, 54 by 75 inches. The Sleep Foundation calls it a full, "also known as a double bed." Beaudoin labels its frames Full, while 20 of our 28 double frame listings say Double.
Is a double the same as a queen?
No. The Sleep Foundation puts a queen at 60 by 80 inches, 6 inches wider and 5 inches longer than a double. A queen mattress won't fit a double frame. Our guide to choosing between a double and a queen covers when the bigger size is worth the floor space.
Are a double bed and a twin bed the same?
No. Beaudoin's size chart lists a twin at 39 by 75 inches and a double (full) at 54 by 75. They are the same length, and the double is 15 inches wider. A double isn't two singles either: two twins side by side are 78 inches wide.
Do two double beds make a king?
No. Two doubles side by side measure 108 by 75 inches, while Beaudoin lists a king at 78 by 80. Two twins come closer at 78 inches wide, but they are still 5 inches shorter than a king. For a king, see our king bed frames.
Can two adults sleep on a double bed frame?
They can, with 27 inches each. That is tight for many couples, and the Sleep Foundation describes the queen as the size most couples who share a bed prefer. For a guest room that sometimes takes two adults, a double is often the size that fits the room.
Will a full mattress fit a double bed frame?
Yes. Full and double mattresses are both 54 by 75 inches, so any full mattress fits a double frame. Check the mattress height against the frame if the headboard is low.
What size room do I need for a double bed?
The Sleep Foundation suggests about 120 square feet to fit a full bed and the rest of your bedroom furniture. It also advises a few feet of walking space on both sides and at the foot. Our chart of Canadian bed frame sizes puts twin through king in one table.
What double frame works with a foam or hybrid mattress?
A platform frame. The Elysian, the Padded Bed Frame, the double storage frame and the platform version of every Beaudoin bed all hold a foam or hybrid mattress without a box spring. Follow the slat and support rules on your mattress warranty, and our platform bed, foundation or box spring guide sorts it out by mattress type.
How much weight can a double bed frame hold?
Go by the maker's rating. Beaudoin rates the Adam upholstered bed frame at 850 lb. The IFDC listings give no rating we have confirmed with the maker, so call 519-770-0001 and we will ask before you buy.
Can I attach a headboard to a double bed frame?
Every Beaudoin double already has its headboard. Beaudoin also sells the Adam and Ennis headboards on their own, sized to fit its 10-inch and 13-inch Reflexx platforms. Headboard fit on other frames depends on the mounting, so ask an advisor which of our double headboards suits the frame you have.
Where can I buy a cheap double bed frame in Brantford?
The lowest double price at Mattress Miracle today is $190 for the Foldable Metal Bed Frame, and the lowest platform bed is the Elysian Velvet Platform at $380. Bought alone, either pays $80 delivery in Ontario; orders of $500 and up usually deliver free.
Do you ship double bed frames across Canada?
No. Bed frames deliver within Ontario only. Some rolled mattresses do go by courier, and they are listed with our mattresses shipped across Canada.
