Are Divan Beds the Right Fit For You?

Sealy Pearl Wool 3ft Single MattressDivan Bed Buying Guide

Here at UK Bed Store, we have a wide range of divan beds from a number of top manufacturers. Maybe you’re considering changing to a divan bed, wondering about whether to return to one or just stuck at what to get altogether. Don’t worry, as we’ve got you covered with a five step guide on what to consider before you buy.

Do You Need More Space?

How much space do you have in your room? If you find yourself struggling for space, divan beds can be a great fit for your room. With storage built into the panels underneath, the divan can quickly de-clutter your room, giving you an extra set of drawers, without needing to compromise any free space in your bedroom. Not only that, but whereas with some frame beds, they can stick out further than the mattress, a divan frame is aligned perfectly with its mattress.

What Would You Store In It?

One of the divan’s key features is the built-in under bed storage so it would be silly not to consider what you would actually use it for. Most commonly used for bedding, excess clothes and towels, the divan could free up a cupboard, wardrobe or if you’re a little bit more swept off your feet, a ‘floordrobe.’

Are You Buying the Divan Bed Base On Its Own Or With a Mattress?

Here at UK Bed Store, we have a range of divan beds, both with and without a mattress. If you’re replacing your divan, but the mattress is still ok, you may want to browse our range of divan bed bases. However, if you’re completely replacing your bed, we advise that you purchase your divan bed from our options with a mattress included.

Which Mattress Should I Choose For My Divan Bed?

This is often the big question. Our range of divan beds can be bought with a variety of mattresses. They can include options such as Coil Spring or Pocket Spring, both with added options in Memory Foam and Latex or Gel. When picking your mattress, it’s important to consider your budget, your desired firmness and any physical needs that you may need to bring into consideration.

The physical benefits of a good night’s sleep are well documented. Sleep boosts your immunity to disease, prevents diabetes, wards away heart disease, and increase both sex drive and fertility. With reasons like this, it’s inarguable as to why you should be focused on getting more sleep; we can help with that.

Sealy memory foam mattresses are the most popular brand of bed in the world, with good reason. All of their memory foam mattresses are evaluated by the Orthopaedic Advisory Board, a selection of doctors and scientists who specialise in sleep science.

Sealy’s Posturepedic beds have a unique ‘zonal support’ system which uses memory foam to ensure your spine is supported and aligned to its natural shape. They provide greater ‘push back’ support to areas of the body where weight is concentrated. This  approach helps prevent tossing and turning at night, when you don’t rest properly because your body isn’t comfortable and properly supported.
