What is a divan bed? >

A divan bed comprises a sturdy wooden frame upholstered in fabric, with a mattress atop. Typically, it comes in two parts - a base and a separate mattress - designed to fit seamlessly together. The base often features storage drawers or compartments, ideal for stowing bedding, clothing, or shoes. Customisable with various headboards and fabric finishes, divan beds blend style with functionality, appealing to those seeking a practical yet elegant bedding solution. Considered a practical alternative to traditional bed frames, divan beds offer both comfort and support, alongside extra storage space. Widely used in bedrooms, guest rooms, and hotels, they are available in various sizes to accommodate diverse sleeping needs. For more information on divan beds, check out our Divan Bed Buying Guide.

What are the benefits of divan bed sets? >

Divan bed sets offer several benefits that make them a popular choice for many people. Here are some of the main advantages:

Space Efficiency: Divan beds are known for their compact design. They typically have a smaller footprint compared to traditional bed frames, making them ideal for rooms with limited space.

Built-in Storage: Many divan beds come with built-in storage options such as drawers or ottoman-style bases that lift up. This provides extra storage space for bedding, clothes, or other items, helping to keep the bedroom tidy and organised.

Customisation Options: Divan beds offer a high degree of customisation. You can choose the type of mattress, the style of the headboard, and the fabric covering the base. This allows you to tailor the bed set to match your personal style and comfort preferences.

Support and Comfort: Divan bed sets often include a mattress specifically designed to work with the base. This combination can provide excellent support and comfort, potentially improving sleep quality. The solid base of a divan can also extend the lifespan of the mattress by providing even support.

Durability: Divan bases are typically sturdy and durable. The solid construction of the base can withstand years of use, making it a long-lasting investment.

Easy Assembly: Divan beds are usually easier to assemble compared to traditional bed frames. They often come in two parts that are simply clipped or screwed together, making the setup process straightforward and quick.

Aesthetic Appeal: With a wide range of fabrics and finishes available, divan beds can be very aesthetically pleasing. They can be upholstered in various materials, from luxurious velvet to practical linen, allowing them to fit seamlessly into different bedroom decors.

Flexibility in Size: Divan beds come in various sizes, from single to super king, making them suitable for different room sizes and requirements. This flexibility ensures that you can find a divan bed set that fits perfectly into your space.

Enhanced Cleanliness: The solid base of a divan bed prevents dust and debris from accumulating underneath, making it easier to keep the area clean. This can be particularly beneficial for people with allergies.

Affordable Options: While there are high-end divan bed sets available, there are also many affordable options on the market. This makes it possible to find a divan bed that fits within a wide range of budgets.

Divan bed sets offer a combination of practical benefits such as space efficiency, built-in storage, and durability, along with customisable comfort and aesthetic options. These advantages make them a versatile and popular choice for various bedroom setups.

Does a divan bed come with a mattress and headboard? >

At Mattresses 365, we make it simple to find the perfect sleeping solution by including a mattress with all our divan bed sets. This means you won’t have to worry about purchasing a mattress separately, as it's already part of the package. Our divan bed sets offer the flexibility to choose the tension of the mattress, ensuring it meets your specific comfort preferences for a good night’s sleep.

Our divan beds are designed with customisation in mind. You can select from type of mattress and mattress features, and various storage options, providing practical solutions for keeping your bedroom tidy and organised. We also offer a wide range of colours for your divan bed, allowing you to match it seamlessly with your bedroom decor.

The divan bed bases sold on Mattresses 365 come without a headboard as standard. If you'd like a headboard, you have the choice to select from our wide range to complete your divan bed set. Our selection includes various colours and types, such as upholstered headboards, strutted headboards and floor-standing headboards, allowing you to customise your bed to your liking. Of course, if you don't want a headboard or need to save on space, then you can choose not to have one.

What storage options are available with divan bed sets? >

Divan bed sets typically offer several storage options to accommodate various needs and preferences.

Here are some common storage configurations available:

Divan Bed Storage Options	Description
Two Drawers (Left Hand Side)	This option provides two storage drawers located on the left-hand side of the bed base when viewed from the footend. It's useful for accessing stored items from one side of the bed.
Two Drawers (Right Hand Side)	Similar to the left-hand side option, this provides two drawers on the right-hand side of the bed base. It offers convenient storage access from the opposite side of the bed.
Footend Drawers	Footend drawers are located at the footend of the bed base. These drawers are typically larger and deeper, offering ample storage space for larger items like blankets, pillows, or seasonal clothing.
Continental Drawers	With Continental drawers, you get both a large and a small drawer that allow you to keep a bedside table next to your bed, while still providing easy access to all the storage space under your bed.
Four Drawers (2+2)	This configuration features two drawers on each side of the bed base (left and right). It maximises storage accessibility and distributes weight evenly across the base.

Benefits of Different Storage Options:
- Accessibility: Depending on your room layout and preference, you can choose drawers on either side or at the footend for easier access.
- Organisation: Different drawer configurations allow for better organisation of items based on size and frequency of use.
- Space Utilisation: Utilising the space under the bed effectively can free up closet or room space, helping to keep the bedroom neat and clutter-free.

Considerations:
- Bedroom Layout: Choose a storage option that fits well with your room layout and accessibility needs.
- Storage Capacity: Consider the volume of storage you need for items like bedding, clothes, or personal belongings.
- Aesthetic Preference: The placement and style of drawers can also contribute to the overall look and feel of your bedroom decor.

These storage options make divan bed sets versatile and practical solutions for optimising space and organisation in bedrooms.

How do you build a divan bed? >

Building a divan bed is a straightforward process that begins with unpacking and assembling the base components according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once the base is assembled, the mattress is positioned on top, ensuring proper alignment and support. Optional features like headboards or storage drawers can then be attached as desired.
