Divan Beds

Divan Beds for Support and Versatile Storage

What is a Divan Bed

A divan bed consists of a solid or sprung fabric-covered base that sits directly on the floor or on short legs, topped by a mattress and finished with a headboard. Unlike slatted bed frames, the divan base provides a completely flat and even surface for the mattress, which maximises mattress support and can extend its lifespan significantly. Divan beds have a clean, uncluttered silhouette that lends itself well to a tidy, hotel-inspired bedroom aesthetic.

Storage Options Within the Base

One of the most popular features of divan beds is their integrated storage capacity. Many divan bases include drawers built directly into the sides or end of the base — available in two-drawer, four-drawer, and ottoman lift configurations. This makes divan beds an excellent choice for bedrooms where wardrobe and floor space is limited. The storage compartments are neatly concealed within the base, maintaining a clean exterior appearance while providing generous hidden storage for bedding, pillows, and clothing.

Choosing Your Divan Bed

When selecting a divan bed, consider whether you want a solid platform base or a sprung base — a sprung divan adds an extra layer of cushioning beneath the mattress, which can enhance overall comfort. Choose your headboard separately to personalise the look; headboards attach easily to most divan bases and are available in a wide range of styles and heights. Consider your storage requirements carefully, as the choice of drawer configuration will significantly affect the practicality of your bed in daily use.
