Divan Beds

A divan bed base is built with a lightweight wooden frame and is usually upholstered in a fabric such as velvet, suede, or linen. There is typically a layer of wadding underneath the chosen fabric. Many divan bed bases have castors or wheels to move the bed around quickly. Assembly is easy as the divan frame's two sections are connected, and your mattress is placed directly on top of the divan bed base.

Many divan bed bases have castors or wheels to allow the bed to be moved around easily. Assembly is easy as the two sections of the divan frame are connected together and then your mattress is placed directly on top of the divan bed base.

It’s common for a divan bed base to include storage, although there are options without if this isn’t something you require. Our range of divan beds with storage include divan beds with drawers as well as ottoman styles. These use the space inside the bed to provide you with plenty of space-saving storage.

There are many benefits of choosing a divan bed as your next bed base:

• Space saving - A divan bed base is usually the same size as the mattress that sits directly atop, so it will take up less space in your room than other bed frame types.
• Built-in storage - Divan beds commonly have built-in storage, which can help maximise the available space and keep your bedroom neat.
• Comfortable - Different types of divan bed bases allow you to customise your comfort and get a great night's sleep every night. Choose a platform top base for firmer support or a sprung base for a softer feel.
• Stylish - Forget what divan beds used to be. Today, divan beds are some of the most stylish, with a wide range of on-trend colours and fabrics.
• Affordable - The lightweight wooden construction of divan beds makes them inexpensive, while their stylish fabric coverings keep them looking premium. It's perfect if you're looking for a cheap divan bed to perfectly match your décor and tastes.
• Easy to assemble - Divan beds have two sections that attach, and a mattress is added on top. Castors or wheels are usually fitted to the base for easy manoeuvrability.
Customisable - You can easily change your divan bed headboard to update your bedroom, or you don't even have to have a headboard at all!

Yes! Our divans can be customised to your preference with whichever headboard you like best. You can choose a divan bed with a headboard from seven styles and colour variations. Of course, if you don't want a headboard or need to save on space, you can choose not to have one.

Regarding slats vs. divan beds, it isn't so much a case of which is better and which is best for you. A divan bed has the benefit of added storage. Additionally, as the base is solid, it can absorb more weight, making it more durable than slats.

However, this solid base can make a mattress feel firmer, which you should consider when buying a new mattress. Our guide on divan bed bases vs. bed frames explains how the two compare.

Divan beds can last many years as long as you maintain them. This can include cleaning the divan bed frame and checking for issues every few months. Your mattress can have a particular impact on how long your divan bed will last – make sure to buy a new mattress as soon as your mattress begins to show signs of wear and tear. An old mattress is less supportive, which can mean your bed frame may take more pressure than your mattress should instead!
