Divan Beds UK
The divan bed as we know it today has its roots way back in history. In the 1300 and 1400s in the Middle East, a divan was a platform used as a long couch or sofa without a back or arms and covered in cushions. It was often placed against a wall with further cushions to provide a comfortable seating area. In the 1800s they became popular in Europe and were usually a long couch with three cushions and a low back and/or arms. Around this time they were a fashionable piece of furniture to have in the bedroom. Other developments in the use of the divan include Sigmund Freud using one as his treatment couch for patients.
The divan beds that are available on the market today still have their roots in the traditional style of divan; however, there have been significant changes from the original design of a platform with cushions placed on top. A standard divan comes as a platform for a separate mattress to be placed on top. As a divan is a couch without arms or a back, there will be no head or footboards included with the bed.
There are usually two types of divan beds found on the market in the UK. They are either a plain wooden or metal frame with no footboard or an enclosed platform sometimes with storage facilities underneath. Neither style will come with a headboard. Divan beds come in all the usual sizes from single to super king size.
A divan bed made with just a plain frame will have slats across the frame to provide support for the mattress. The frame is made from timber or metal and comes in a variety of finishes. The space under the bed is not enclosed; therefore the use for storage is limited. In most cases, this type of bed does not come with a mattress so this additional cost needs to be considered. This type of frame is usually the least expensive to buy and will come in a variety of styles.
The enclosed platform style of the divan bed will usually come in the form of two base units that are connected together to provide the platform for the mattress. The platforms can be purchased with drawers or sliding doors to provide storage space. A single bed will usually have drawers on one side, whereas a double bed will have drawers on each side. Many bed and mattress manufacturers produce beds which are specifically designed to be used with one of their mattresses. Therefore it is quite common to find that a mattress is included when purchasing this type of divan bed.
