You'll need to bring your own bedding for your room in halls of residence, this includes your duvet, duvet cover, pillows, pillowcases and sheets.
Bed sizes vary across our halls. We do our best to make sure the information on this page is correct. However, in some rooms the bed size may differ. We cannot change bed sizes and we are not able to provide a larger bed unless there is a clear and proven need. For example, if you are extremely tall and require a longer bed.
The information on this page will help you choose the correct bedding size for your room.
Bed sizes
- Single beds - 90cm by 190 cm (3ft by 6ft 3in)
- Small double beds - 120cm by 190cm (4ft by 6ft 3in)
- Double beds - 140cm by 190cm (4ft 6in by 6ft 3in)
For a small double bed, we recommend choosing a double‑sized duvet.
