Choosing the Right Divan Bed Size
Selecting the correct bed size is essential for both comfort and efficient use of space.
Small Single Divan Beds
A small single divan is ideal for children's bedrooms, guest rooms, and compact spaces where maximising floor area is important.
Single Divan Beds
A standard UK single divan provides comfortable sleeping space while leaving room for wardrobes, desks, and other bedroom furniture. It is a popular choice for children, teenagers, and guest bedrooms.
Small Double Divan Beds
A small double offers additional sleeping space without occupying as much room as a standard double. It works particularly well in apartments, smaller master bedrooms, and growing teenagers' rooms.
Double Divan Beds
The standard UK double remains one of the most popular options for couples and individual sleepers who prefer extra room. It provides an excellent balance between comfort and bedroom space.
King Size Divan Beds
King size divans offer additional width and length, making them ideal for taller sleepers and couples who value greater personal space during the night.
Super King Divan Beds
For maximum comfort, a super king divan delivers generous sleeping space while creating a luxurious focal point within larger bedrooms.
Storage Options for Every Home
One of the biggest advantages of a divan bed is its built-in storage. Halo Beds offers several storage configurations to suit different room layouts and storage requirements.
No Storage
A simple upholstered base that focuses on dependable mattress support without integrated storage.
Two Drawer Divans
Ideal for smaller bedrooms or beds positioned against a wall, providing practical storage without requiring access from every side.
Four Drawer Divans
Offers maximum drawer storage, making excellent use of the space beneath the mattress for clothing, bedding, towels, and everyday household items.
Continental Drawer Divans
Continental drawers combine smaller top drawers with larger lower drawers, allowing easier access when bedside furniture is positioned close to the bed.
End Drawer Divans
Foot-end drawer configurations provide convenient storage where side access may be limited.
Ottoman Divan Beds
Ottoman divans maximise storage by lifting the mattress platform to reveal the entire under-bed compartment. Available with side-lift or end-lift mechanisms, they provide significantly more storage than traditional drawers.
Platform Top or Sprung Top?
Halo Beds offers different base constructions to suit individual comfort preferences.
Platform Top Divans
Platform-top bases provide a solid, supportive surface beneath the mattress, creating a firmer overall sleeping feel.
They are particularly suitable for:
- Memory foam mattresses
- Firmer mattress preferences
- Stable mattress support
Sprung Top Divans
Sprung-top divans contain a spring system within the base itself, providing additional cushioning beneath the mattress.
They can:
- Create a slightly softer feel
- Help absorb movement
- Provide additional comfort
- Complement pocket spring mattresses

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a divan bed?
A divan bed consists of an upholstered base designed to support a mattress. Many divans also include integrated drawer or ottoman storage, making them a practical option for bedrooms where additional storage is needed.
Can I use any mattress with a divan bed?
Yes. As long as the mattress and divan are the same UK size, they are generally compatible.
What is the difference between a platform-top and sprung-top divan?
A platform-top divan has a solid surface that provides firmer support. A sprung-top divan includes springs beneath the mattress, creating a softer and more cushioned feel.
Which storage option offers the most space?
Ottoman divan beds provide the largest storage capacity because the entire mattress platform lifts to reveal the full space beneath the bed.
