Divan beds come with a divan base and matching mattress, so you don't have to buy them separately. Many divan beds also come with wheels too, as well as integrated storage drawers. This makes a divan bed ideal for bedrooms that lack floor space or additional storage. Choose from a range of divan bed styles and sizes including double, king size and super king.
A divan bed is the term used for a mattress and a base section which has the optionality of not just being upholstered in fabulous fabrics and colours, but also can provide a variety of useful storage options. This makes a divan bed a clever multi-functioning piece of furniture which can help to maximise space in your bedroom, free up space in your chest of drawers and wardrobes, by storing items in pull-out drawers within the bed base.
A divan bed is an ideal choice for bedrooms where floor space is at a premium. With all your clutter stored away discreetly underneath your bed, no-one needs to know just how much stuff you have!
You can store your seasonal clothing, spare bedding, and towels in the divan bed drawers and they will still be easily accessible whenever you need them.
Our divan beds are available in no-drawer, 2-drawer, 4-drawer and 2+2 draw designs. 2 + 2 drawer divan bed designs feature two full size drawers at the foot of the divan bed, and 2 half-width drawers at the head of the bed. These half size drawers have been cleverly designed to ensure that even the smallest of bedrooms can be optimal storage-wise.
The 90cm x 190cm (W x L) single size divan base comes as a one-piece. The double divan base is a sturdy box which comes in two halves which join together to form a sturdy and compact piece of furniture. As a divan bed base is only as wide as the mattress which goes on top of it, you can use the mattress sizes as a guide to accurately decide which size divan bed is the best fit for your bedroom.
A stylish headboard can also be easily attached to divan bases. And as all headboard fittings are universal, you’ll be free to choose any type of headboard to suit your bedroom and personal preferences. Divan beds don’t come with a headboard though. Unlike other types of bed frames, with a divan bed, you’ll have the option to mix and match your favourite headboard and divan base as you please.
Yes, divan beds are very comfortable thanks to the sturdy divan bed frame which offers support for your body while you are sleeping. Many divan bases are available with varying height options, on castors or legs so you can choose the correct overall height to suit your needs. Divan base height options can be found within the Staples divan beds collection.
Options include low divan beds and high divan beds. Both options are available on castors, glides, or with wooden or silver metal-effect legs. As well as this, you can choose the type of mattress you prefer for additional comfort.
A low divan bed is a good choice for those with restricted space in their bedroom. A shallow divan bed base sits much closer to the ground than a standard bed frame. By taking up less vertical height in the bedroom, low divan bases free up the space above the bed. Low divan bed frames are also ideal for bedrooms with a low ceiling.
High divan beds are great for homes with high ceilings. A high divan bed can make a statement in a bedroom – especially if choosing a high divan bed in a statement colour or tactile texture.
Yes, the base of a divan bed is very sturdy and provides excellent support. Divan beds are also very durable, so if you are looking for a bed to last, a divan bed is a good choice.
A single divan bed measures 190cm (6 feet 3 inches) long and 90cm (3 feet) wide. Always measure the space that you have available before choosing a single divan bed with storage as you’ll want to be sure that you can access the drawers underneath.
Single divan beds are a great choice for solo sleeping adults, teenagers, children, and guest rooms alike.
Double divan beds measure 190cm (6 feet 3 inches) long and 135 cm (4 feet 6 inches) wide. A double divan bed is a popular choice for UK customers as it comfortably sleeps two adults while taking up a comparably minimal footprint in your bedroom.
We also offer a small double divan bed size which is ideal for smaller spaces. Our small double divan beds measure 190cm (6 feet 3 inches) long and 120cm (4 feet) wide.

You should also measure the spaces within which your new bed will need to be transported, including stairwells and hallways.

A grey divan bed is a great choice for those who frequently like to switch up their bedroom décor as grey divans pair perfectly with pretty much any colour palette.
The same can be said for a cream divan bed. Choose a cream divan bed with drawers to build a calm and soothing sleep haven you’ll look forward to retreating to night after night.

Divan beds do not come with headboards. So, if you’re after a divan bed with a headboard, you’ll need to choose your headboard separately. All of our headboard types are compatible with all divan beds.
You will also need to consider what type of storage drawers you would like.
Two drawer divan beds feature two integrated drawers, one at either side of the bed.
Four drawer divan beds come with two drawers on either side of the bed. This is ideal if you share a bed with a partner as you can have two drawers each.
Similarly, 2+2 divan beds have two drawers at either side of the bed. However, these are different sizes. There are two large drawers at the foot of the bed and two smaller drawers at the head. This ensures that there is room for your bedside tables, or other pieces of furniture, while still allowing your drawers to open.
Some divan beds have wheels on the bottom of the frame, which makes them easy to manoeuvre. Other divan beds come with glides which are ideal for wooden flooring as they will keep the bed in place and stop it from moving around.
Divan beds are made from various materials. The base is usually a box frame, which is made from sturdy wood. This makes it very durable. Double divan bases, king size divans, and super king divan beds are usually built in two sections, which are then upholstered in fabric.
A UK-standard queen divan bed is exactly the same size as a small double divan bed. Queen size divan beds measure 120cm x 190cm (W x L).

Divan beds are suitable for a wide range of mattress types, including open coil mattresses, memory foam mattresses, hybrid mattresses, and pocket spring mattresses.
In addition to this, you’ll be able to choose which comfort rating you would like for your mattress. Some people prefer a medium firm mattress while others may prefer the firm feel of a medium soft mattress. We always advise using our SleepPRO technology to test which mattress firmness is best for you.
