Kids Divan Beds

What is a kids’ divan bed?

A kids’ divan bed is a single divan bed (3ft). The smallest divan size we offer, this single size makes it perfect for a children’s bed, especially when floor space is limited. You can learn more about which size is best for your child at what age, and when they’ll be ready for a children’s divan bed in our guide to kids' bed sizes.

Why choose a divan bed for your child?

A kids' divan bed and mattress set is not only the most convenient option, letting you purchase both components of your child’s bed in one, but it’s also incredibly practical and affordable.

The biggest advantage to divan beds is that they offer integrated under-bed storage, so you can choose between 2 or 4-drawer configurations beneath your child’s bed to store toys, clothes, and clutter you don’t want on show!

Kids divan beds vs kids bed frames

While traditional children’s bed frames are often more stylish and come in a wider range of designs, kids’ divans are much more practical, especially for smaller bedrooms.

Space-saving: Divans are designed to match the mattress measurements as closely as possible, so they fit as snugly as possible. This means they’ll take up less space than a metal or wooden frame, which is often slightly longer and wider than the mattress itself.

Safety: Divan bases have a wooden construction behind the upholstery and a solid platform top base, meaning there are no wooden slats for curious fingers to get trapped between. There’s also no empty space under the bed, like the clearance beneath a traditional bed frame, for dust (and lost toys) to accumulate!

Convenience: Divans are easier to assemble (use our Divan Assembly Guide for guidance) and move around when your child decides to reconfigure their room layout as they get older! Our kids' divans come with castor wheels that make maneuvering them super simple.

What mattresses do these kids' divans come with?

If you’ve already got a kids' mattress sorted, then our Premium Divan Bed in a single size is the ideal kids' divan bed. However, if you are looking for a complete kids divan bed and mattress set, we have plenty of options to choose from.

We have paired our bases with mattresses from top brands like Silentnight and Spring King, prioritising medium-firm to firm tensions, as these provide the essential spinal support children need during their crucial growth spurts. To learn more about firmness and what’s best for your child, visit our Mattress Firmness Guide.
