People looking for and even those selling beds often forget how important and versatile divan beds can be. It really is easy to take for granted all the things that are good about a divan bed. They double up as extra storage space, they’re easy to move and they ensure that the mattress placed on them is preserved for longer than usual.
The humble divan bed is the iconic home bed in many parts of the world. When looking for the perfect divan bed, you’ll find that it is sold completely separately from the mattress and even the headboard. And, if you’re looking to completely give your bedroom a full makeover this is great. It means you can choose the perfect mattress for the base and you have all your options open for choosing the added accessories too, such as the headboard.
The Base
The divan base is sturdy, beyond compare. And, this is because they are crafted from wooden box bases. These bases are then upholstered in a variety of fabrics including leather. The base of the divan bed is comprised of two or more sections on top of which the mattress will lie. If you’ve ever moved into a place which features tight corner and high stair’s you’ll really appreciate that the base can be moved in sections. The base also features storage space in the form of wither drawers or ottoman type store areas.
Assembly
One of the greatest parts of buying a divan bed is that you probably won’t be required to assemble too much of it. And, if you do need to get your hands a little dirty, you’ll be given a complete set of easy instructions. For the most part, you’ll simply need to move the bases into your room, connect them up and place the mattress on top.
Divan Storage
When we look at the storage space of divan beds we see that there are three main types; raised, drawers and ottoman. With the raised divan bed you’ll find that you can easily slide a few storage items under the bed for clear up space. The same can be said for the divan beds which feature drawers. Alternatively, if you’re really in need of additional space, we suggest opting for the ottoman bed. With these, the entire area on which the mattress rests is a storage area. You simply need to lift it up and you’ll access everything you stowed away.
The Size
You’re sure to find a divan for every size of bed you’re looking for. From single to king-sized, divan beds are available in all sizes. Additionally, if you’re looking for even more space, why not opt to place two double-sized divans next to each other to create a massive bed. Having said this, you may also want to consider that many bedding companies do not stock bedding larger than a king-size, so be sure to remember this. You might end up having to customise your bedding, at great cost.
