Divan Beds FAQ: Everything You Need to Know

If you're looking for a new bed, you've probably come across divan beds. They’re a popular choice for good reason—practical, stylish, and space-saving. But what exactly is a divan bed, and is it the right choice for you? We’ve answered some of the most common questions to help you decide.

What is a Divan Bed?

A divan bed consists of a sturdy base and a mattress, sometimes with built-in storage options. The base is usually made from a wooden frame covered in fabric and is designed to provide solid support.

What Are the Benefits of a Divan Bed?

• Space-saving – Many divan beds come with built-in storage drawers, perfect for keeping bedding, clothes, or anything else neatly tucked away.
  
• Stylish – Available in a range of colours and fabrics, a divan bed can complement any bedroom aesthetic.
  
• Durable – The solid base provides excellent mattress support, helping prolong its lifespan.
  
• Customisable – You can often choose headboards, storage options, and fabrics to suit your needs..

Do Divan Beds Come with a Mattress?

Some do, and some don’t! It depends on where you buy them. At Lifestyle Office Furniture, we offer divan bed sets that include a high-quality mattress, or you can purchase the base separately if you already have a mattress you love.

Are Divan Beds Comfortable?

Yes! The solid base offers great support, and when paired with the right mattress, a divan bed can provide excellent comfort for a good night’s sleep. The firmness and comfort level will depend on the type of mattress you choose.

What Types of Storage Options Are Available?

Divan beds are ideal for maximising storage space in your bedroom. Common options include:

• Two drawers – One on each side for smaller storage needs.
  
• Four drawers – Great for those who need extra space.
  
• Ottoman storage – The entire base lifts up to reveal a large storage area underneath, perfect for bulkier items.

Are Divan Beds Easy to Move?

Most divan beds come with built-in castors or gliders, making them easier to move than traditional bed frames. This is especially handy if you like to rearrange your room or need to clean underneath.

How Long Do Divan Beds Last?

A high-quality divan bed can last anywhere from 7 to 10 years, depending on usage and maintenance. To extend its life, make sure to rotate the mattress regularly and keep the fabric base clean.

Do I Need a Headboard?

Not necessarily! Many divan beds allow you to attach a headboard if you want to add a stylish finishing touch, but they also look great without one. You can choose from a variety of headboard styles to match your décor.

Are Divan Beds Suitable for All Mattresses?

Divan beds are compatible with most standard mattresses, but it’s always best to check the size and support requirements. Pocket-sprung and memory foam mattresses often work well with divan bases.
