The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Best Divan Base for Your Bedroom

A divan base is one of the most practical and stylish bed bases available. Whether you're looking for extra storage, better mattress support, or a sleek design, a divan base is an excellent choice. But with so many options available, how do you choose the best one for your bedroom?

At The Sleep Shop, we offer a wide range of high-quality Irish-manufactured divan bases to suit all preferences. This guide will help you find the perfect divan base for your needs.

Why Choose a Divan Base?

A divan base offers several benefits over traditional bed frames:

• Space-Saving Storage: Many divan bases come with built-in drawers or ottoman-style lifts, perfect for decluttering your bedroom.

• Enhanced Mattress Support: Provides a solid, supportive foundation that prolongs the lifespan of your mattress.

• Customisable Styles: Available in a variety of fabrics, colours, and headboard options to match your decor.

• Compact Design: Unlike bulky bed frames, divan bases take up less space, making them ideal for smaller bedrooms.

• Durability & Stability: Sturdy construction ensures long-term comfort and support.

Types of Divan Bases Available at The Sleep Shop

1. Standard Divan Base

Best for: A simple and sturdy foundation.

A standard divan base provides solid support for your mattress. It’s an affordable and reliable option, perfect for those who don’t require extra storage.

2. Divan Base with Storage Drawers

Best for: Maximising bedroom storage.

If you need extra space, a divan base with built-in drawers is a smart solution. Options include:

• 2 drawers – Ideal for single beds.

• 4 drawers – Great for double, king, and super king sizes.

• End drawer divan – A convenient storage solution when side access is limited.

3. Ottoman Divan Base

Best for: Maximum storage and easy access.

An ottoman divan base lifts up entirely, revealing a large hidden storage compartment. This is ideal for storing bulky items like bedding and winter clothes.

4. Luxury Upholstered Divan Base

Best for: A stylish, modern look.

If aesthetics matter, consider an upholstered divan base. Available in various premium fabrics and colours, it adds a touch of elegance to any bedroom.

Choosing the Right Divan Base for Your Bedroom

1. Consider Your Bed Size

Ensure your divan base matches your mattress size:

• Single (90x190 cm)

• Double (135x190 cm)

• King (150x200 cm)

• Super King (180x200 cm)

2. Do You Need Extra Storage?

If storage is a priority, opt for a drawer divan base or an ottoman divan base for maximum space-saving benefits.

3. Match Your Bedroom Style

Choose a fabric and colour that complements your decor. Popular options include:

• Neutral tones (grey, beige, taupe) – Versatile and timeless.

• Bold colours (navy, emerald, burgundy) – Adds personality and depth.

• Classic fabrics (linen, velvet, faux leather) – Enhances the luxurious feel of your bedroom.

4. Pair with a Headboard

Complete the look by adding a matching upholstered or wooden headboard from The Sleep Shop.
