Best overall

Emma Box Bed

If you want one frame that suits almost any bedroom, the Emma Box Bed is the bed we would buy this Black Friday, an upholstered double at £629. Its LVL slats are rated by Emma for a 250 kg load. The frame is only 5 cm larger than the mattress, which helps in a tight room, and the optional headboard adjusts in height to your mattress. It beats the solid oak Yasumi for most bedrooms because it takes less floor space and lets you leave the headboard off, while the Yasumi asks more for its wood and its longer guarantee.

When we checked on 26 October 2026, Emma was adding free pillows and a waterproof protector worth up to £269 to orders of a bed with a mattress. Count that as a bonus if you need a mattress anyway.

Pros

LVL slats rated for 250 kg
Frame only 5 cm larger than the mattress
Headboard height adjusts to the mattress
30-night trial with free returns

Cons

Headboard adds about £186 in a double
Delivery takes 1 to 3 weeks
No single or small double

More product details

Material: Poplar plywood frame with fabric-covered sides, poplar LVL slats, solid rubber wood feet and steel fittings. Optional upholstered headboard. Colours dark grey or beige.

Simba Yasumi Solid Oak Bed with Headboard

Best premium pick

Simba Yasumi Solid Oak Bed with Headboard

Solid European oak and Japanese-style Sashimono joints, which slot together without screws, set the Yasumi apart from flat-pack pine, and it goes together without tools in about 15 minutes. It costs £749 for a double with its low headboard. Simba backs it with a 200-night trial and a 10-year guarantee, the longest terms of any bed we rank, shared with the Alderley.

Pros

Solid European oak frame and headboard
Tool-free build in about 15 minutes
200-night trial, 10-year guarantee
Natural or Walnut finish

Cons

Aspire End Lift Ottoman Storage Bed

At £249 for a double, the Aspire End Lift is the cheapest ottoman here, with a gas-lift well that Aspire measures at 141 x 193 x 26 cm in a double, roughly 700 litres. You give up a boarded storage floor, a trial and a long guarantee for that price.

One warning for Black Friday. An archived copy of Aspire's page from January 2025 shows the single at today's price beside the same struck-through "was" price, so treat any saving measured against it with care.

Pros

Gas-lift opening
Sprung poplar slats
Free UK mainland delivery
Grey, beige or black colours

Cons

Fabric storage floor, not boarded
End lift needs space at the foot
No trial period

More product details

Material: Steel frame upholstered in textured linen-look fabric (grey, beige or black), padded buttoned headboard and matching footboard, 8-ply poplar sprung slats, gas-lift pistons, black fabric cloth under the storage well, silver feet.
Sizes: 90x190, 120x190, 135x190, 150x200, 180x200

Best adjustable bed

Laybrook Corfe Adjustable Bed

Sitting up in bed, raising your legs and getting in and out more easily are what the Laybrook Corfe is for, and it is the adjustable bed we would look at first. The double costs £1,734 with a 17 cm Q-flex foam mattress and installation on most of the mainland. Laybrook's autumn sale advertises up to £1,000 off selected adjustable beds, and on 26 October it took £120 off the Corfe double (£100 before VAT).

Buyers who qualify for VAT relief save more than that, about £289 on this double.

Pros

Price includes mattress and installation
Five-part electric profiling
Optional side drawers
Single, dual and linked versions

Cons

7-day money-back window
Standard frame rated to 18 stone

More product details

Material: Q-flex high-density open-cell foam mattress (17 cm) with a removable, washable double-stretch cotton cover, on a five-part electric profiling mechanism. Divan surround and headboard upholstered in off-white Belgian damask, optional drawers, lockable castors.

Sizes: 75x198, 90x198, 105x198, 120x198, 135x198, 150x198, 180x198

A double set with a four-drawer base costs £1,520, and Silentnight adds a 60-night comfort exchange on the mattress and a five-year guarantee.

Best ottoman with a long trial

Simba Alderley Ottoman Bed

A solid board floor under the storage, Simba's 200-night trial and its 10-year guarantee make the Alderley the safest ottoman to buy online, at £649 for a double or £599 as a 4ft small double. Storage is the limit. Simba quotes up to 123.6 litres even in a super king, a modest figure next to the Aspire ottoman, so it suits light storage needs.

Pros

Solid board storage floor
Sold as a 4ft small double
Slatted platform over the storage
Builds in about 20 minutes

Cons

Modest storage, by Simba's own figure
Two fabric choices

Best budget bed frame

Aspire Atlantic Solid Wood Bed Frame

£172 buys a white-painted solid pine double frame, the least you can spend on a proper frame here, and Aspire says it is tested to the EN 1725 bed standard. That suits a spare room or a first flat, where a sprung base matters less than the price.

Pros

Cheapest double frame we rank
Shaker-style headboard and footboard
20 cm clearance underneath
White or natural finish

Cons

Solid slats, no sprung give
12-month warranty

More product details

Material: Solid pine frame in a white painted finish, shaker-style slatted headboard and footboard, solid wooden slat system. Also sold in a natural varnished finish.

Buying advice

What to look for when buying

Paata Bedding adviser and product analyst

“Price the bed in the size you will actually buy and find out whether the saving sits on the frame or on a bundle you never needed. A percentage on its own tells you nothing.”

Check the reference price, not the percentage

Which?’s November 2025 study tracked 175 products from eight retailers for a year around Black Friday 2024 and found that 83% were the same price or cheaper at least once outside the four-week sale period. Note the double price of the bed you want today and compare it with the price on the day. The prices in the table below are the ones we recorded on 26 October 2026, and a “was” figure you never saw the retailer charge is not a reference.

Compare like with like in a double

Bed prices hide in the options. A headboard, a fabric, drawers or a mattress can move the price of the same frame by hundreds of pounds, and an “up to 50% off” banner often describes the best-discounted size or colour. The Emma Box Bed, for example, costs about £186 more in a double with its headboard than without. Check the mattress size the frame expects too: a UK double frame is built for a 135x190 mattress, so a continental 140x200 mattress will not fit.

Bed and mattress bundles

Two picks include a mattress, the Laybrook Corfe adjustable bed and the Silentnight ThermaCool divan set. Emma’s offer works the other way round, with free extras when you buy a bed and an Emma mattress together. A bundle saves money only if you needed every piece, and a bundled mattress can be thinner than one you would choose on its own, so compare its depth. If your mattress is still supportive, the frame alone is the better buy; our Black Friday mattress guide covers the mattress deals, and our bedding deals guide covers duvets and linen.

Returns, made-to-order beds and VAT

An online order comes with a cancellation period that, under regulation 30 of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, ends 14 days after the day the goods come into your possession. Regulation 28 excludes “the supply of goods that are made to the consumer’s specifications or are clearly personalised”, which can catch an upholstered bed made in a fabric you chose, so read the retailer’s terms before ordering a custom colour.

Adjustable beds have a saving of their own. Under section 4.3 of HMRC VAT Notice 701/7, an electrically or mechanically adjustable bed designed for people with disabilities can be zero-rated when a chronically sick or disabled person buys it for personal use and signs a declaration. That takes about a sixth off the price, and Laybrook shows its prices both with and without VAT.

Timing and delivery

Black Friday 2026 is on Friday 27 November and Cyber Monday on 30 November. Delivery times vary far more than prices. Stock frames can arrive within a week, while upholstered and made-to-order beds take two weeks or more. If the bed has to be up for Christmas guests, choose a stock item and confirm the delivery date at checkout before you pay. The frames arrive flat-packed for self-assembly, while the Silentnight divan set and the Laybrook bed are assembled or installed for you.

Methodology

How we rate

On 26 October 2026 we checked every bed on the retailer’s own site for the price of a double (135x190, or the nearest size the maker sells), stock in that size, delivery, guarantee and any trial or return window. Each product score weighs the stated comfort and support features, build (frame material, slats, storage mechanism) and value. The order mostly follows the score, but this guide also weighs what the money buys now, so we placed the Aspire End Lift Ottoman third despite its lower score, because nothing else here gives you ottoman storage for under £300 in a double.

A discount counts only when it shows on the retailer’s own page. On the check date that meant a price reduction at Laybrook and Emma’s free pillows and protector with a mattress. Simba’s offer of up to 26% off is open only to verified groups such as key workers and students, so we did not count it as a sale price. No retailer here had published Black Friday prices yet. We re-check every bed between 20 and 24 November and again on Black Friday, and judge each reduction against the retailer’s own price in the preceding weeks, never against a “was” figure alone.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

When is Black Friday 2026 in the UK?

Black Friday 2026 is on Friday 27 November, followed by Cyber Monday on 30 November. We re-check the beds on this page between 20 and 24 November and again on the day, as retailers publish their offers.

Are Black Friday bed deals really cheaper?

Not always. Which?'s November 2025 study found that 83% of 175 products sold as Black Friday deals were the same price or cheaper at least once outside the sale period, so compare the sale price of a bed with what the same retailer charged in October.

What is the best bed to buy on Black Friday?

The Emma Box Bed is our top pick, a compact upholstered double, only 5 cm larger than its mattress, at £629. On a tight budget, the Aspire End Lift Ottoman gives you a storage bed for £249 in a double.

Is an ottoman bed worth buying in the Black Friday sales?

Yes, if you need the storage, but compare capacity as well as price. The Aspire End Lift Ottoman has a well of roughly 700 litres in a double by Aspire's measurements, while the Simba Alderley Ottoman stores less but comes with a 200-night trial and a 10-year guarantee.

Can I return a bed bought online in a Black Friday sale?

Usually yes, because the Consumer Contracts Regulations give you 14 days from delivery to cancel an online order, and Simba and Emma add trials of 200 and 30 nights. Beds made to your own specification, such as a custom fabric, can be excluded, so check the terms first.

What size is a UK double bed?

A UK double mattress measures 135x190 cm (4ft6 x 6ft3), a king 150x200 cm and a super king 180x200 cm. Our guide to UK mattress sizes lists every size in centimetres and feet.

Should I buy a bed and mattress together on Black Friday?

Only if both need replacing. The Silentnight ThermaCool Memory 2500 divan set costs £1,520 for base and mattress in a double, and our Black Friday mattress guide covers the mattress-only deals.
