A bed room planner compares your room with the full bed frame. Enter both sizes in centimetres to see the space left. Then check doors, storage and delivery access. Print your result and the UK bed size chart. The drawing cannot confirm that furniture will pass through stairs or doorways.

Measure once. Take your plan with you.
Use the full outside size of the frame, including the headboard. Mattress size alone is not enough.
This is a rectangle check. It does not prove comfortable access or a safe fit. Check doors, drawers, radiators, skirting, sockets and the full delivery route. Use the maker’s clearance rules for an ottoman or adjustable bed.
