Divan Bed

Divan beds at Apley Beds: the short answer
A divan bed is an upholstered base that sits close to the floor, with storage built into it, and a headboard (some also have a matching footboard). Ours are made in Lancashire by Sweet Dreams in small double (4ft), double (4ft 6), king (5ft) and super king (6ft), from £584.99, with free delivery to mainland England and Wales including Anglesey.

Which storage should I choose?
• No storage: the plain base and the lowest price. Good if the room already has a wardrobe and drawers.
• Two drawers: spare bedding and towels, one side of the bed.
• Four drawers: everyday clothes storage, ideal in a small bedroom with no room for a chest.
• Conti 2 + 2: a continental drawer layout with two drawers each side.
• Side ottoman: the whole base lifts so you can store suitcases, duvets and seasonal clothes. It needs standing room on the opening side.
Drawers need clear floor beside the bed to open fully, so check which side will be against a wall before you order.

The ranges
• Elegance Regal and Elegance Grand: hybrid divans with an upholstered headboard and footboard, so the bed looks framed but keeps divan storage.
• Opulence Classic, Chic, Debut and Sparkle (diamante detailing): platform-style divan sets.
• Grandeur Grace and Grandeur Belle: taller statement headboards (139cm on the Grace).
Every bed comes in eight fabrics, including Granite, Mink, Mustard, Oyster, Powder, Royal, Teal and Shergar Ash. Check each listing for exactly what is included; a mattress is not included unless the listing says so.

Divan or bed frame?
A divan gives you more storage and a solid, quiet base. A slatted bed frame sits higher on legs and lets air under the mattress. If you want the most storage of all, compare an ottoman in our slatted and ottoman beds.
