There’s nothing quite like sinking into a comfortable bed that feels just right. At the end of a long day, your bed should be more than just a place to rest, it should be a sleep sanctuary. But with so many bed types, mattress options, and bed frame styles available, choosing the perfect one can feel overwhelming.
This guide will help you choose the best bed for your needs, whether you’re upgrading your sleep setup or furnishing a new bedroom.
Start With Your Sleep Style
Your sleep position has a big impact on the kind of support you need from your mattress and bed base:
- Back sleepers benefit from medium-firm mattresses that support the natural curve of the spine.
- Side sleepers often prefer softer mattresses that relieve pressure on shoulders and hips.
- Stomach sleepers typically need to keep the spine properly aligned.
Pairing the right mattress firmness with one of our bed bases ensures you get both the comfort and support your body needs.
Choose the Right Bed Size for Your Room
Choosing the correct bed size ensures both comfort and functionality in your space. Here’s a quick guide:
- Small Single (2ft 6" x 6ft 3") Ideal for children’s rooms or tight spaces
- Single bed (3ft x 6'3"): Perfect for guest rooms, solo sleepers, and rooms with limited space.
- Small Double (4ft x 6ft 3") For couples, people who love extra space, or anyone furnishing a guest room with comfort in mind.
- Double bed (4ft 6" x 6ft 3"): A great all-rounder for individuals or couples
- King size bed (5'ft x 6ft 6"): Offers more space to spread out comfortably.
- Super king bed (6ft x 6ft 6"): Ideal for spacious master bedrooms or couples who value room to move.
Always measure your bedroom and consider surrounding furniture to ensure the bed fits comfortably.
Why Choose a Divan
At Divan Base Direct, we specialise in upholstered divans and upholstered ottoman divans - and for good reason. Divan beds bring together comfort, elegance, and timeless design, making them the ideal centrepiece for any bedroom.
Here’s why they stand out:
- Soft, Supportive Comfort: Perfect for those who love to sit up in bed to read or watch TV - a padded headboard adds both function and luxury.
- Versatile Design: From classic neutrals to bold statement fabrics, upholstered beds suit a wide range of interiors - minimalist, modern, or boutique-inspired.
- Textural Warmth: Unlike wood or metal frames, upholstered beds bring a softness and warmth that instantly elevates the feel of your bedroom.
Our collection features a curated range of high-quality fabrics, thoughtful detailing, and a palette that complements every space.

Don’t Forget the Mattress
Pairing your frame with the right mattress is essential for quality sleep. Consider:
- Memory foam mattresses for contouring comfort and pressure relief.
- Pocket sprung mattresses for excellent support and breathability.
- Hybrid mattresses for a balance of comfort and support.
Choosing the best mattress for your sleep style is just as important as the bed base itself. A high-quality mattress can improve sleep quality, reduce back pain, and last 8–10 years with proper care.
