Help me find a double bed for my teenager!

Hello,

My DS is 5’11 and probably a bit of growing still to do. He needs a new bed as his single bed is falling apart. I have been looking for a smalll double/or double bed for his room but struggling to find something in budget -£500ish including mattress.

We both don’t like the grey fabric beds and I’m not keen on the leather style beds either. I think the ottoman beds would be handy for storage.

Ive been looking on the FB marketplace for a bed frame for a while but it’s mostly grey or pine. I would then need to pay to get it transported so probably wouldn’t work that much cheaper. I would like to buy him a new mattress anyway.

Has anyone got any suggestions? Dreams and Benson beds are out of our price range. I’ve seen a black fabric one on Dusk but DS isn’t keen on the high headboard and it’s going over budget too when I include the mattress.

My son has this one from Happy Beds! It's really solid and well built and we're really happy with it!

We had the same issue with our teen wanting more floor space but also a bigger bed. We ended up looking at loft beds for kids since they leave plenty of room underneath for a desk or chill-out area. Some even have built-in storage, which was a lifesaver for keeping the room tidy. They come in different styles, so it was easy to find one that didn’t feel too "kiddy" for a teenager.
