1. Are divan beds easy to assemble?

Yes, divan beds are the easiest type of bed to assemble. Your divan will arrive in two base halves (one whole piece if you buy a single-sized divan bed), complete with divan legs and a headboard, if you've chosen one. Follow these step-by-step divan bed assembly instructions:

1. Turn the two base halves upside-down and attach the divan legs
2. Turn the bases over and push together, securing them with the locking clips on either either side
3. Add the headboard (if you've chosen one) using the pre-drilled sockets. The sockets are found at both ends of the bed, for convenience.

2. Does my divan bed come with a mattress?

Yes - divan beds typically come complete with a mattress. This is ideal if you want to upgrade both your bed and your mattress - since you'll get a complete bed set package.

There are many options to choose from, including:

• Pocket sprung divan bed sets
• Memory foam divan bed sets
• Latex divan bed sets
• Natural filling divan bed sets
• Orthopaedic divan bed sets

So no matter which type of mattress you prefer, we have the full divan set for you! These divan sets have been specifically designed to give you the best night's sleep possible, so you can sleep soundly knowing that the hassle of choosing a bed and a mattress has already been done for you.

However, if you don't need to upgrade your mattress just yet, you can choose a divan base only instead.

3. Are divan beds expensive?

4. Do divan beds take up a lot of space?

Divan beds take up less space than a standard bed frame of the same size. This is because the width and length of a divan bed are the same as the mattress. The mattress sits on top of the divan base, rather than inside a frame. For this reason, divan beds are a particularly good option for small rooms, such as box rooms, guest bedrooms and loft rooms.

6. Does my divan come with a headboard?

Yes - although you can choose from a variety of styles, you'll need to specify which one you'd like. Simply take a look at our range of divans, and choose your favourite!

How do I put a headboard on a divan bed?

We recommend checking the specific manufacturer's assembly instructions, which you'll find included within your divan bed packaging.

However, here's a quick guide:

1. Choose which end of the bed you want your headboard
2. Find the pre-drilled sockets on this end - these are covered by fabric, with a sticker showing where you should pierce the fabric
3. Pierce this fabric with your screwdriver to create a small hole
4. Screw all the bolts into the holes, leaving around 3-4cm of the thread exposed
5. Slide your headboard onto this exposed thread
6. Tighten the bolts to secure it
7. Need to adjust the height? Simply loosen the bolts slightly, move the headboard and re-tighten

7. Are there different divan base options?

Like bed frames, divans come with different support systems. These support systems work in harmony with your mattress and contribute to the overall support and firmness. There are two main types of support options for your divan base: a platform top base and a sprung divan base.

• Platform top divan base

A platform top divan base is constructed from a wooden frame and a solid panel top. It's a great option if you're looking for firm support and a sturdy, solid base for your mattress. For more information, read our guide, what is a platform top divan base?

• Sprung divan base

Made from a built-in spring unit, sprung divan bases offer more flexible, gentle support - slightly softening the feel of even the firmest mattress. This divan base is ideal if you prefer a softer, cushioned level of comfort. Want to find out more? Head over to our page, what is a sprung divan base?
