What is a Divan Bed?

A divan bed is a combination of a divan base and a mattress. The divan base acts as a platform, supporting the mattress. Divan bases are made with a sturdy wooden frame and upholstered in a choice of fabric. Some divan bases have storage drawers, making them ideal for smaller homes by giving you storage without taking up extra space.

What are the benefits of a divan bed?

The biggest benefit of a divan bed is the way it saves you space. Unlike bedframes, divan beds take up only the space needed for the mattress. So a king size divan bed has the same dimensions as a king-size mattress. This can make a big difference if you have a smaller room or prefer a minimalist, clutter-free look.

Another benefit of a divan bed is the extra storage options you get. Choose a divan base with drawers and you’ve got extra storage built into your bed. Those drawers are ideal for bed linen or out-of-season duvets, but also perfect for clothes if your bedroom doesn’t have space for a chest of drawers.

Finally, many people consider the upholstery options to be a big benefit of divan beds. You can enhance and complement your decor by choosing a fabric that suits your bedroom’s colour palette.

Do divan beds take up lots of space?

No! Divan beds are one of the most space-efficient beds you can choose for your home. That’s because their dimensions match the dimensions of the mattress size. In contrast, a bed with a frame is more space-hungry thanks to the way the frame, headboard and footboard surround the bed.
