Divan Beds

Why buy a divan bed?

If you are looking for a bed that is both functional and comfortable, a divan bed consisting of a mattress and divan base could be the perfect choice for you.

With space at a premium in most bedrooms, divan beds take up less floor space than bed frames. This can be especially useful in smaller bedrooms.

Where space is limited, divan beds offer a combination of drawer storage options or ottoman lifting mechanisms that offer the maximum storage space.

Divan beds typically provide good support for mattresses due to their solid base construction. This can contribute to a more comfortable and restful sleep.

Why choose a divan bed over a bed frame and mattress?

One of the main advantages of a divan bed is they require very little assembly, compared to a bed frame and they also offer drawer or ottoman storage space.

They also come in a variety of base types from a standard platform top design, to a reinforced base for extra strength or a sprung base for additional comfort.

Can you get Longer divan beds for taller people?

Yes. We offer a range of extra long beds, designed to cater to taller individuals or those who crave additional space, providing comfort beyond the standard dimensions.

In the UK, where traditional beds may not meet everyone's needs, extra long beds present a practical and luxurious alternative.

What types of bases are available?

Platform top bases are made up of a timber frame with a solid top that provides a firm foundation for your mattress. Cheaper to manufacture, they are the most commonly used divan base.

Sprung bases are more expensive to produce and consist of a shallower frame with springs on top. These springs act as shock absorbers for the mattress, resulting in a more luxurious feel.

Reinforced bases are designed to withstand additional weights and extra wear and tear. They are constructed to a higher standard with extra strapping across the base and thicker top boards.

Are all bases the same height?

The average height of a divan base is 38cm with castors or glides, but should you need a lower base, some divans come with a choice of base heights.

Mattress can be deep as 35cm, so to keep the overall height of the divan bed down, we offer divan bases with depths of 5”, 6” or 8” with castors, glides or legs.

Will my existing headboard fit my new base?

Standard UK headboards are designed to fit UK divan bases so you should have no problem. Note that the bolts to fit them come with the divan and not the headboard, so if you are not ready to fit one right away, make sure you don't misplace the bolts.

Is there a choice of fabrics and colours?

Primarily divan bases were only available in the same cover as the mattress border, but as fashions change, we now offer a selection of fabrics and colours.

With a vast selection of base colours to choose from, you're sure to find one to match your decor and style. There’s something to suit everyone's taste.
