A divan base is the foundation of a great night’s sleep. At Divan Base Direct, we specialise in handmade UK divan beds that combine comfort, style, and functionality. Whether you’re looking for a divan bed with storage, a divan base only, or a space-saving divan bed base for a guest room, our collection covers every option.
What is a divan bed?
A divan base is a fully upholstered base that supports your mattress and can include built-in storage. Unlike standard bed frames, divan bases with storage maximise your space by including drawers or an ottoman lift system, making them perfect for modern UK homes.

-
Divan storage bases with drawers or lift-up storage
-
Non-storage divan bases - including low divan bed base options
- Upholstered drawer divan bases and bases with drawers in a wide choice of fabrics and finishes

“Very happy with my new divan and mattress. I've had some good nights sleep for a change! Loved the colour that I chose. This is my second purchase from DBD and couldn't be happier. Highly recommend."
– Carol Parker, September 2025
“We had difficulty in finding a company that could solve the problem of getting a six foot wide bed base up our stairs. Divan Base direct solved the problem straight away. They were able to supply the base in four parts instead of two, which went up the stairs no problem. They delivered and assembled. A quality base at a competative price. We are very pleased.”

FAQs – Divan Beds & Storage Bases
What is the difference between a divan base only and a divan bed with storage?
A divan base without storage has no drawers or compartments, making it available in a lower base if needed, while a divan with storage includes drawers or ottoman lift mechanisms.
Do all sizes come with storage options?
Yes — every size, from single divan bed base to super king divan bed, can be ordered with drawers or lift-up storage. The only exceptions are low divan bed base options.
Can I buy just the divan base bed without a mattress?
Yes, you can purchase the divan bed base only and add your own mattress, or shop our range of mattresses for divan bases.
Are divan bases suitable for small homes?
Absolutely, a drawer divan base or bed base with storage is ideal for maximising limited bedroom space.
What mattress can I use on my divan base?
You can use your existing mattress, or purchase a Medi-Endorsed mattress from our collection. Just make sure your mattress is the correct size for your new bed base.
Can I add a headboard for divan bases?
Yes, you can use your existing headboard as long as it is not attached to your old bed base. Or you can choose from our range of divan headboards, which can be customised to match your bed size and fabric.
Do you offer deals for divan beds that include headboards and mattresses?
Yes, our Divan Bed Sets collection enables you to build your bed from scratch, including choosing from 38 fabrics, a matching headboard, and a brand new mattress for better sleep.
