Introduction to Divan Beds

Divan beds have long been a top choice in the UK for anyone looking to combine comfort, practicality, and style in their bedroom. A divan bed combines a supportive divan base and a high-quality mattress, creating the perfect bed for a great sleep.

Thanks to their sleek, compact design, divan beds are ideal for maximising space in smaller bedrooms or rooms where every inch counts, as unlike with other bed frames, the edge of a divan base is flush with the side of the mattress.

The upholstered finish adds a touch of luxury, while a wide range of storage options, such as drawers or ottoman compartments, make it easy to keep your bedroom tidy.

Whether you're replacing an old bed, or designing a brand-new sleep sanctuary, a divan bed offers the ultimate blend of functionality and elegance.

Components of a Divan Bed

A divan bed is made up of two essential components: the divan base and the mattress. Available in sizes from small single to super king, divan bases will suit any bedroom and storage requirement. On top of the base sits the mattress, which delivers the comfort and support you need for a good night's sleep.

Our mattresses for divan beds come in various comfort levels, from soft to firmer feels. When choosing your divan bed, consider both the quality of the divan base and the mattress to create the perfect bed for your sleep style and room.

Base Types: Pick Your Feel & Size

Different base types can significantly affect the overall comfort level of your bed, helping you achieve the desired support and feel.

Platform top – a firm, flat surface that keeps the mattress feeling slightly firmer. Good for back sleepers and fans of a supportive comfort level.

Sprung edge – a base with built-in springs for a touch of give and a plusher feel, often providing a smooth and gentle operation. Good for side sleepers and those who prefer softer comfort.

FAQs

What's the difference between a divan and a bed frame?

A divan is a space-saving base that sits under the mattress and can include drawers or lift-up storage. A frame shows more of the structure around the mattress and may take up more room.

Platform top or sprung edge: how do I choose?

Choose platform top for a firmer feel and clearer support; choose sprung edge for a touch more softness and pressure relief.

Which drawer layout should I pick?

With a storage divan bed, for maximum storage, choose four drawers. If you have bedside tables, choose continental drawers so they clear the tables at the head end.

Can I buy the base without a mattress?

Yes. Pick a bed base only and add a headboard if you want a matching finish.

Will it fit up my stairs?

Divan bases come in two sections (for double and above), which helps with tight corners. Measure your staircase and doorways and check the product dimensions before ordering.
