What is a Divan Bed?

A divan bed is a fabric covered wooden box base with a mattress sitting on top. The base is constructed using timber wood that sits flat on the built in silver glider legs or castor wheels under it. The beds are made using durable timber frames wrapped in upholstery fabric.

The divan bed base arrives in two halves that connect in the middle with metal brackets. Most divan beds include a headboard, built in storage drawers, and lift up ottoman compartments that are built directly into the base. Assembly of these beds is fast and easy, which takes around 15 to 20 minutes with no technical skills required.

What Sizes are Available in Divan Beds?

Divan beds come in standard UK sizes. Every size is available with any base type and any storage setup.

  • Single Divan Bed

A single divan bed measures 90cm wide by 190cm long and comes in one piece. This size fits one adult or child. It leaves 60cm to 80cm of free floor space in a typical 3m by 3m bedroom. Use this size in guest rooms, kids' rooms, or studio flats.

  • Small Double Divan Bed

A small double divan bed measures 120cm wide by 190cm long. You gain 30cm over a single without using the floor space of a full double. This size suits single sleepers who want sprawl space or smaller master bedrooms where a standard double will not fit.

  • Double Divan Bed

A double divan bed measures 135cm wide by 190cm long. This is the most purchased size in the UK. It gives two adults 67.5cm each, which is workable but not generous. A double fits comfortably in any bedroom over 3.5m wide.

  • King Size Divan Bed

A king size divan bed measures 150cm wide by 200cm long. Each sleeper gets 75cm of width and an extra 10cm of length compared to a double. This size is the practical minimum for couples who move during sleep. A king needs at least 4m of bedroom width to leave walkway space on both sides.

  • Super King Size Divan Bed

A super king divan bed measures 180cm wide by 200cm long, suitable for large master bedrooms. The sleeper gets around 90cm of width with full turning freedom. A super king needs at least 4.5m of bedroom width to leave walkway space.

Which Divan bed is best for me?

The right divan bed depends on your room size, storage needs, and how you prefer to sleep.

If storage is not a priority, a divan bed without drawers is the simpler and more affordable option. If you need storage, divan beds with storage give you a range of drawer setups to choose from.

  • 2 Drawers Configuration

Side drawers can be placed on one side of the bed or one on each side of the base. Each drawer runs the length of the bed and measures approximately 80cm wide by 50cm deep by 12cm high. You can use side drawers for folded clothes, spare bedding, or shoes. Side drawers work in bedrooms where sides of the bed are accessible. Each drawer holds 15 to 20 folded t-shirts or 8 to 10 pairs of jeans.

  • 4 Drawers Configuration

Four drawer divan beds add two side drawers on each side of the bed. End drawers measure approximately 40cm wide by 50cm deep by 12cm high. The four drawer setup gives you organized storage on all sides. This configuration suits bedrooms where the bed sits away from the walls.

  • Divan Beds Without Storage

Divan beds without storage use a solid base with no drawers or lift mechanisms. The base construction stays simple with a timber frame and fabric cover. No moving parts means lower cost and lighter weight for delivery. Non-storage divan beds cost less than equivalent drawer models. Choose a non-storage base if your bedroom already has wardrobes, under-bed storage boxes, or built-in cupboards.

  • Color Preference

Fabric color should match your existing bedroom furniture or create contrast. Grey divan bed bases match any wall color and hide wear better than lighter tones. Cream and white divan bed bases brighten dark rooms but show marks faster. Black divan beds anchor modern bedrooms and pair well with metal or glass furniture. Navy and charcoal divan beds suit traditional bedrooms with wood furniture. Match your base color to your headboard or choose a contrasting headboard to separate the bed visually from the walls.

Benefits of a Divan Bed

Divan beds deliver comfort, storage, and build quality that most other bed types cannot match at the same price point.

  • Full mattress support: Base contacts 100% of mattress underside with no gaps or sag points like slatted frames.
  • Built-in storage capacity: Adds 200 to 800 liters depending on configuration, replacing one or two freestanding furniture pieces.
  • Fast assembly: Under 20 minutes total setup with four metal brackets and an included Allen key.
  • Cost efficiency: Base, storage, and headboard in one purchase saves alot compared to buying separate components.
  • Low profile design: Base sits 5cm to 8cm off floor, making ceilings appear higher and suiting modern interiors.
  • Easy movement: Built-in castors let you pull the bed away from walls for cleaning, while wheels lock for stability during use.
  • Fabric choice: Select from chenille that wipes clean, velvet that shows texture, linen that breathes well, or faux leather that cleans completely.
  • Long-term durability: Timber frames last 10 to 15 years with metal bracket joints that stay tight through moves.
  • Reduced motion transfer: Solid base absorbs movement between partners for less sleep disruption.

Can I buy a divan bed with mattress?

You can order the base alone or as a complete bed set with a mattress included. You have to select mattress firmness, thickness, and materials based on your sleeping position and body weight rather than accepting a pre-matched bundle. We offer mattresses across all firmness levels and types.

If you already own a mattress, order only the base. Standard UK mattresses fit on divan bases with no adaptation. Pocket sprung and hybrid mattresses perform best on sprung edge bases because the base springs work with the mattress springs. Memory foam and latex mattresses need platform top bases because foam requires rigid support underneath.

A Wide Range of Divan Beds at Divanbed.co.uk

Our range covers various fabric options, base colors, headboard styles, and storage configurations. Every combination is available in all UK bed sizes. You can choose divan bed styles based on your unique preferences.

  • Upholstered Divan Beds

Upholstered divan beds come in contemporary fabrics across neutral and accent tones. Neutral options include ash grey, beige, soft cream, and pure white. Accent colors include midnight navy, graphite charcoal, rose pink, sage green, and midnight blue. Fabric texture options include soft plush velvet, smooth chenille, crushed velvet, textured linen, and faux leather.

  • Winged Divan Beds

Winged divan beds add padded side wings that extend 15cm beyond the headboard width on each side of the headboard. The wings create a wraparound effect that fills the wall space behind the bed. Winged designs suit bedrooms over 4m wide, where the bed is the main focal point. The wings add 30cm to the overall width, so measure your space before ordering.

  • Art Deco Divan Beds

Art Deco divan beds use geometric panel stitching across the headboard and footboard. The Horizon Art Deco Divan Bed includes a matching footboard with vertical channel stitching and chrome bar accents. Art Deco styles suit period properties or modern interiors with statement lighting and metallic furniture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do divan beds come with headboards?
Headboards are available separately or included in complete bed packages. Match the headboard fabric to your base or choose a contrasting color. Headboards attach with bolts to base-mounted struts.
Are divan beds easy to assemble?
Yes. Two base sections connect with four metal brackets that slide into pre-fitted channels. Assembly takes 15 to 20 minutes with the included Allen key. Headboards bolt to base struts in under 5 minutes.
Can any mattress go on a divan base?
All standard UK mattresses fit on divan bases. Platform top bases suit memory foam and latex mattresses. Sprung edge bases suit pocket sprung and hybrid mattresses. Firm edge bases work with any mattress type.
What is the difference between a divan bed and an ottoman bed?
Divan beds use pull-out drawers in the base sides or ends. Each drawer opens independently. Ottoman beds use a lift-up mechanism where the entire mattress platform hinges upward. Ottomans give one large open storage space instead of separate drawer compartments.
