Is a double bed big enough for two adults?

What room size do I need for a double bed?

Allow space to walk around at least one side, plus clearance for wardrobe doors. If you're choosing an ottoman base, leave room for it to lift fully.

They're close but not identical — UK doubles are 135cm wide, US full sizes are around 137cm, and lengths differ. Buy UK-sized bedding for a UK double.
