Black Friday Bed Buying Guide: How To Get The Best Deal

Black Friday is the best time of year to buy a bed. It is also the easiest time to buy the wrong one. Prices drop, stock moves fast, and it is tempting to grab the first big discount you see. This guide is here to stop that. Read it once, make a shortlist, and you will know exactly what you want before the sale starts.

When Is Black Friday 2026?

Black Friday falls on Friday 27 November 2026. Cyber Monday follows on Monday 30 November. Plenty of shops start their sales earlier in the month and keep them running through the weekend, so you don't need to wait for the Friday itself. At Crazy Price Beds, our sale prices are already live on the Black Friday sale page.

Is Black Friday A Good Time To Buy A Bed?

Yes, with one condition: only buy the bed you were already going to buy. A bed is a big purchase, so the sale is most useful when it lowers the price of something you have already researched. A discount on the wrong size is not a saving.

It also helps that beds are bulky and expensive, which is why retailers put them in the sale. If you have been waiting for a good moment to replace a tired frame, set up a guest room before Christmas, or move a child out of their cot, this is it.

Step 1: Measure Before You Browse

Measure the room first. Then measure the doorways, the stairs and any tight corners the bed has to get through. Most of our beds arrive flat-packed, which makes tricky access much easier, but it is still worth knowing.

Leave space to walk around the bed and open drawers and wardrobe doors. As a rough guide, aim for at least 60cm on the sides you use most.

Step 2: Pick The Right Size

These are the standard UK sizes:

• Single (90cm x 190cm): ideal for children, box rooms and guest rooms. See our single beds.
• Small double (120cm x 190cm): a smart choice if you're short on space but want a bit more room than a single. See our small double beds.
• Double (135cm x 190cm): the usual choice for a main bedroom. See our double beds.
• King size (150cm x 200cm): extra width and length for couples who like to spread out. See our king size beds.

Step 3: Set A Budget

Decide on a number before you start scrolling. It stops you drifting up the price list, and it makes comparing beds much quicker. Our price pages do the filtering for you:

• Beds under £150 for first flats, spare rooms and kids' rooms
• Beds under £200 for more choice on size and style
• Beds under £250 for storage beds, velvet finishes and statement styles

Remember to budget for a mattress too if your frame doesn't include one. Check each product page to see what you get.

Step 4: Choose The Style And Features

This is the fun part. A few things to think about:

• Storage. If your bedroom is small, an ottoman bed gives you a whole storage space under the mattress. It is brilliant for spare bedding and out-of-season clothes.
• Material. Metal frames are light, modern and great value. Wooden frames feel warm and traditional. Velvet and upholstered beds come with a padded headboard, which is lovely for sitting up with a book.
• Guests. A day bed or guest bed with a trundle gives you a second bed without taking up extra space the rest of the year.
• Colour. Grey, black and white frames go with almost anything, so they are easy to dress up later.

Buying For A Child?

Black Friday is a good moment to sort a child's room, as many kids' beds are in the sale. A house bed is a great first big bed, and bunk beds or a mid sleeper free up floor space in shared rooms. If you are considering bunk beds, read our bunk bed safety guide first. Browse everything in our kids' beds range.

Don't Forget The Mattress

A new frame deserves a mattress that suits how you sleep. Selected mattresses are included in our sale, and our Black Friday mattress guide explains the differences between memory foam, pocket sprung and spring mattresses. Shop the full mattress range when you're ready.

Black Friday Bed Buying FAQs

How early should I order a bed in the Black Friday sale?

As early as you are happy to. Popular sizes and finishes can sell out, and ordering early gives you more time before Christmas if the bed is for a guest room or a gift.

Are Black Friday beds lower quality?

Not at Crazy Price Beds. The same beds are on sale, and we keep prices low all year by shipping direct from our warehouse and cutting out the middlemen.

Can I buy a bed frame without a mattress?

Yes. Most of our frames are sold without a mattress, so you can pick the comfort level you like. The product page lists exactly what is included.
