Divan Beds Made for Comfort, Storage and Everyday Life

Finding the right bed can feel difficult when you are trying to balance comfort, bedroom space, storage and budget. Our divan beds make those choices easier, with practical designs handmade at our West Yorkshire factory and supplied directly by Viz Beds.

Choose your preferred bed size, fabric, colour and built-in storage options. You can shop for a compact single divan bed, a spacious super king, a divan bed base on its own or a complete set with a mattress and matching headboard.

What Is a Divan Bed?

A divan bed has an upholstered base designed to support a mattress. Its compact shape usually follows the dimensions of the mattress, helping you make good use of the available floor space. Each of our divan beds includes built-in drawers for storing bedding, clothes and other bedroom essentials. You can also choose different fabrics, colours, mattresses and headboards to suit your room.

Which Divan Bed Base Is Right for You?

The right divan bed base depends on how firm you want the bed to feel and the type of mattress you plan to use.

A platform top has a solid base beneath the mattress. This usually creates a firmer, more supportive feel and provides a sturdy platform for a wide range of mattresses.

A sprung base contains an additional layer of springs. This can create a slightly softer feel and may add extra cushioning beneath the mattress.

Neither choice is automatically better for everyone. Think about your usual comfort level, the support provided by your mattress and whether you prefer a firmer or softer bed at night.

Is a Single Divan Bed Suitable for a Smaller Bedroom?

A standard UK single divan bed is made for a mattress measuring approximately 90cm x 190cm. Its compact design can make it a practical fit for smaller bedrooms, children’s rooms and guest rooms.

Before buying, measure the bedroom and the full route it will need to travel to get to the bedroom. Check doorways, staircases and tight corners, then leave enough room around the bed to move comfortably.

A single divan is particularly useful in guest spaces where you need extra storage without adding another piece of furniture.

Choose Built-In Storage That Works for Your Room

Divan storage makes use of the space beneath your mattress. It can help keep spare bedding, seasonal clothes and bedroom essentials tidy and within easy reach.

Popular choices may include:

• Two drawers for everyday storage.
• Four drawers when you need more capacity.
• Foot-end drawers where bedside tables restrict side access.
• A base without drawers when storage is not required.

Always check where each drawer will open. A four-drawer divan may offer more storage, although it will be less useful if two drawers are blocked by bedside furniture or a wall.

The built-in storage options available can vary depending on the bed, base size and current stock, so check the individual product details before making your purchase.

Add the Right Mattress and Matching Headboard

Choosing a new Divan bed and mattress can help you create a unique combination that suits your preferred firmness and budget.

When considering a mattress, look beyond general descriptions such as “soft” or “firm”. Consider the mattress filling, spring system, support layers and recommended sleeping position. Your mattress has a major influence on your comfort and the quality of your sleep.

A matching headboard can give the bed a more finished appearance. Choose a high-quality fabric and colour that work with your existing decor, then explore our bed and bedroom accessories for suitable finishing touches.

If you’re not sure whether a Divan bed is the right choice for you, consider our range of bed frames. Pair your frame with a compatible mattress to create a bespoke solution for getting a good night’s sleep.

How Do You Find the Right Divan Bed?

Start by making a short list of the features that matter most to you:

• Measure the available bedroom space.
• Choose a single, double, king or super king size.
• Decide between a platform top and a sprung base.
• Select a practical drawer combination.
• Check whether the mattress and headboard are included.
• Compare fabric colours with your bedroom decor.
• Read the current delivery and assembly information.

These steps can make it easier to narrow the range without being distracted by features you do not need.
