All about 4ft small double divan beds

Where space is limited in a bedroom, 4ft small double beds are an ideal solution as they take up less floor space than a 4ft6 double divan bed, but can still sleep 2 people comfortably. Whether you're furnishing a guest room or a teenager's bedroom, these compact size beds provide the ultimate solution.

Do 4ft divan beds offer storage options?

Divan beds often feature built-in drawers, that can be arranged on one or both sides of the bed. These offer great concealed storage options for items like bedding, clothing and towels. Most also have the option of adding continental style half drawers to the head end half of the bed. This allows you to access the contents of the drawers without having to move a bedside table.Ottoman divan bases are an ideal solution for smaller bedrooms as they don’t require the added space on each side for drawers to open. Available in both side and end opening, they’re the best option should the bed be up against a wall as you still have maximum storage with easy access. 

Can I customise the upholstery on the divan bed?

Yes, most manufacturers offer a wide range of fabrics and colours to choose from. From plush velvet and chenille fabrics to tweed and faux suede and leather, there is something to suit every bedroom.

Can I buy a matching headboard with the divan base?

Most manufacturers of divan bases offer a range of headboards in the same fabrics. These range from simple strutted headboards to grand floor standing headboards with hotel style wings and deeply padded upholstery. If you are not wanting a fabric headboard there are also metal and wooden headboard options available that will fit a 4ft small double divan bed. 

What kind of mattresses come with small double divan beds?

Can two people share a small double divan bed?

Are small double divan beds easy to assemble?

Small double divan beds are easy to assemble, with the base delivered in two halves and the mattress and any headboard coming separately.  Both halves of the base are either joined by u-clips or linking bars, with the castors, glides or legs easily fitted.
