Types & features of divan bed bases
Choose a divan base type based on storage needs and mattress preference. Options include ottoman lift, drawer units, platform tops and sprung bases.
Ottoman divan
Ottoman divans lift the mattress to reveal a large storage cavity. They provide the largest single storage space and suit seasonal storage needs.
Example: End or side lift ottomans suit rooms with shallow drawer clearance. Pros: full-depth storage. Cons: need headroom to lift the mattress.
Drawer divan base
Drawer divans have two or four built-in drawers for easy access. They work well beside beds where frequent use items are stored.
Tip: Choose left or right drawer placement based on the room layout to avoid blocked access.
Platform and sprung divan
Platform divans give firm, stable support and suit latex or memory foam mattresses. Sprung divans add a slightly softer base for sprung mattresses.
Platform bases reduce mattress sag and keep prices lower for non-storage options.
Sizes, measurements & compatibility
Match your divan base to UK mattress sizes and measure your room before ordering. Standard UK sizes guide mattress fit and base dimensions.
Common UK mattress sizes: Single 90×190cm, Small Double 120×190cm, Double 135×190cm, King 150×200cm, Super King 180×200cm. For an authoritative chart, see the National Bed Federation's Bed Advice site.
