When easy access, manoeuvrability and flexibility matter, a split divan bed base gives you all of that, and more. Whether you’re navigating narrow stairwells, loft bedrooms with awkward corners or simply want a large bed that’s easy to move, this solution ticks every box.
What Is a Split Base Bed?
A split base divan bed (sometimes referred to as a split divan bed base, split king or split base single divan bed) comprises two (or more) smaller base sections that combine to form one full-sized base. These sections fit together securely to act as one unit, yet can be moved and installed individually. That means your base could arrive as two pieces on smaller sizes or four pieces on larger sizes, making installation in tight spaces far easier.
Key Benefits of Split Base Bed Bases
-
Easier to move & install: Large bases can be heavy and tricky to manoeuvre through staircases, narrow hallways or loft conversions. Split bases break the job into manageable sections.
-
Ideal for tight or awkward spaces: If your bedroom has unusual access, restricted doorways or you’re working in a loft, split sections allow smoother delivery and placement.
-
Large bed size without compromise: You don’t have to sacrifice size. You can still opt for king or super-king dimensions; the base simply arrives and installs in parts.
-
Flexible for future moves: Should you redecorate, move house or repurpose a room, a split base can be taken apart and relocated more easily than a one-piece base.
-
Customisation & storage options: Many split bases come with full divan features, drawer storage, optional legs or castors, fabric choices, giving the same style and function with added practicality.
