What are divan bed frames?
One of the most popular kinds of bed frames, divan beds are always pre-assembled and come in two halves. This makes the divan base easy to manoeuvre and move around if necessary. Often featuring storage options such as drawers or ottoman storage, divan beds are entirely customisable to suit your practical and stylistic needs. For example, the British Bed Company divan sets allow you to choose between 4 large drawers, 2 large drawers, 2 large drawers with 2 small drawers, half ottoman storage or full ottoman storage. Not only this, but you can choose from over 45 fabric colours in which the divan bed base will be upholstered, so you can customise the bed frame that matches your bedroom aesthetic.
What are ottoman beds?
Ottoman beds feature integrated storage space within the bed frame that's accessible by either lifting the side of the bed or the foot end.
What are divan beds made from?
Our divan beds feature beautiful fabric finishes showcasing a contemporary and glamorous aesthetic. The other appeal of fabric bed frames is that unlike metal bed frames and wooden beds, they are incredibly comfortable and make for fantastic makeshift seats.
What sizes of divan beds are available?
Divan beds are available in every standard size of the bed, including small single (75 x 190cm), single divan beds (90 x 190cm), small double (120 x 190cm), double divan bed (135 x 190cm), king size bed bases (150 x 200cm), super king divan bed bases (180 x 200cm).
What are the benefits of divan beds?
Our range of divan beds come with many benefits, from customisable storage and style to firm support for your mattress. The variety of storage options available to you is a big pro, as well as the various types of fabric and colours you can choose from. If you're looking for a bed featuring storage space similar to an ottoman bed but with the ability to tailor the bed frame to your preferred taste, our divan beds are ideal. The storage drawers accompanying the divan beds can accommodate your bedding and other bedroom mainstays, allowing for greater floor space. What's more, you can choose from our range of headboards if you wish to have one. We have many different options that fit a range of styles, budgets and sizes, including small single, single, small double, double, king size and super king size.
What mattresses can I pair with a divan bed?
Most of our divan beds have a platform top, providing a solid surface that complements a firm or extra firm mattress tension or makes a softer mattress feel more firm. With this in mind, most of our mattresses are suitable to be matched with a divan bed, whether that's pocket springs, open coil, memory foam, hybrid options and much more. Mattresses that are entirely comprised of memory foam are usually softer in support tension, so it's worth noting that the memory foam may feel a little firmer when residing on a divan bed. No matter the mattress you pair with our range of divan beds, we're confident you'll get the supported, comfortable night's sleep you deserve.
