What Are The Advantages Of A Fabric Divan Base?
• A durable option that offers great value for money.
• A gorgeous plush fabric finish.
• Flexible storage options to magically fit into your space.
• Firmer support provided by a wooden platform top.
• Easy to customise with a headboard – choose a brand new one or fit your divan with your current one.
• Easy to deliver and assemble.
End lift ottomans
As you may have guessed, end lift ottomans rise up from the end. By swinging up the whole platform from the end of the bed, you can instantly access all that handy internal storage from either side of your bed, which is ideal if you have plenty of bedroom space free on either side.
Side lift ottomans
Another variation - you can still lift up the entire platform, except this time it’s from the side of the bed. This design would make a perfect choice if your bed is nestled against the wall on one side.
Half-end lift ottoman
This variation lifts from the end, however, only half of the complete platform rises up. This means you have half the size of the platform to fill with all your extra things. This may suit you if your bedroom space doesn’t have enough room for the full end lift or if you prefer the idea of having a smaller piece of platform to swing up. There are also half-lift ottoman bases that combine their platform lift with drawers of varying sizes too.

• High-quality, durable structure offers value for money.
• Platform features special grip fabric to help keep your mattress in place.
• Easy to customise with a headboard – choose a brand new one or fit your divan with your current one.
We have two types of fabric bed frames in our collection:
Bed frames (without storage)
This classic design sits up off the floor on short beech or chrome legs, has solid pine wood slats, and are also available with and without a footboard.
While we’re on the subject of frames, a note on footboards... You might love the look and feel of a tall footboard, but be aware that they can take up space. First, think about how the layout of your bedroom works.
It’s super important to let your space ‘breathe’, as this benefits your wellbeing as well as your sleep cycle. If you have a narrow space at the foot of your bed, adding a footboard into the mix might be a bit, well, awkward. However, if you’re lucky enough to have lots of room to play with, then the snug, tucked-in feel of a footboard might just suit you down to a T.
Ottoman bed frames
A great mix of the classic frame with all the storage perks of an ottoman, we also have fabric ottoman bed frames. These come complete with a headboard, which sit directly on the floor. Rather than having a platform top, these are sprung-slatted with reinforcement for extra support. Of course, these don’t come with a footboard, because the top of the base swings up to reveal all that nifty hidden storage.
Floor-standing headboards
Put simply, these eye-catching headboards stretch right down to the floor. These headboards can make a real style statement and elevate the interior of your bedroom. They are also extremely sturdy, standing strong behind your divan or ottoman base. When assembling, you simply screw each of the bolts through the headboard slots in the base, for easy attachment.
Having a tall floor-standing headboard is a strong look, so it’s important to make sure your room is big enough to carry it off. Of course you need enough space to move around freely, but also from a visual perspective, having too much in-your-face furniture packed into a small room can make things feel a bit claustrophobic. It’s best to keep it roomy for a dreamy night’s sleep.
Strutted mount headboards
For those looking to achieve a more subtle look, a mounted headboard is a more lightweight option that is suitable for a wide range of bedrooms. It fixes directly to the bed base and doesn’t stand on the floor. It attaches to your divan base with bolts in the same way as the tall headboards, but it has shorter struts. An advantage of this is that the headboard is fully adjustable, so any time you change your mattress, you’ll be able to move your headboard to the comfiest height.
Different headboard styles
Depending on the kind of bedroom feel you are after, there are all sorts of styles of headboards to choose from. Go for simple, geometric fluting with stitched lines for a contemporary look, or if it’s a retro Victorian vibe you’re after, choose the deep, diamond buttoning of a classic Chesterfield. Curves can feel a little more traditional; or a winged floor-standing headboard is an ideal choice if you have the space to make it stand out.
