What Mattress Is Best for an Ottoman or Divan Bed?
Any standard UK-size mattress works on an ottoman or divan bed. On an ottoman, weight matters too, because the gas struts lift the mattress with the platform.
Platform Top, Solid Top or Sprung Edge: Which Divan Base Do You Need?
A platform top divan has a flat, firm board top with no springs; solid top means the same. A sprung edge divan has springs built into the base for a softer feel.
Divan Bed With Drawers: 2 Drawers or 4, and Which Side?
A 2 drawer divan has both drawers on one side, which suits a bed against a wall. A 4 drawer divan has two drawers each side and roughly doubles the storage.
What Is a Divan Bed? Bases, Drawers and Headboards Explained
A divan bed is an upholstered box base that sits low on the floor, with the mattress on top and a headboard fixed to the back. Many divans have storage drawers built in.
Divan vs Ottoman Bed: What's the Difference?
A divan bed stores things in drawers that pull out from the side of the base. An ottoman bed stores things under a mattress platform that lifts on gas struts, and holds more.
