Double Divan Beds

Why choose a double divan bed base?

Versatile storage space is the name of the game when it comes to double divan bases. Evoking a simple yet modern style, double divan bases can add a sense of elegance to any space, be it modern or traditional in aesthetic.

Double divan bed bases are a great first choice for both couples and single sleepers alike, offering plenty of room to spread out on your own or snuggle up to your partner, and they make great beds for children if you want additional toy storage without taking up that valuable play space!

What size is a divan double bed?

The average size of a UK double divan bed base with mattress is around 135cm wide and 190cm long, or 4ft6in wide and 6ft3in long. In other words, the perfect bed size for any standard UK double mattress.

This size gives you more than enough space to sleep peacefully, but still gives you a full additional 6 inches over a small double divan bed base. So, unless you're used to a king-sized divan bed, there’ll be no need for you and your partner to fight for space.

How many drawers does a double divan bed have?

Thanks to their larger size, a double divan bed base is capable of having a range of different drawer and storage option setups, including all of the following:

• 4-drawer divan beds – divan beds with four drawers combine a spacious sleeping area with maximum storage capacity. Each of these full-sized drawers can accommodate plenty of spare bedding and belongings to capture that lost floor space.

• 2-drawer divan beds – a budget-friendly alternative to 4-drawer divans, 2-drawer divan beds still provide you with plenty of storage options for hiding away extra bedroom clutter.

• Ottoman divan beds – if you want to get the most out of the storage potential of your new double divan bed, then an ottoman divan bed is an excellent alternative. These beds open upwards to provide access to the entire bed frame interior, letting you take full advantage of the floor space you’re giving up.

Should you buy a double divan bed and mattress combination?

Thanks to their growing popularity and simple setup, it’s possible to buy a double divan bed base and a mattress together, helping you to save money on your new purchase if you’re on a budget.

However, there is no reason you have to change your old mattress out when buying a new double divan bed frame. Divan beds do not require a specific mattress type to be used with them, so as long as your old mattress is the same size as your new double divan frame, you can use your same mattress. However, it might be a good idea to go for a new mattress and divan set to upgrade your entire bed in one easy switch!
