The Best Divan Beds in the UK – Our Top 6 Pick

The Emma Divan Bed base keeps things rather simple and elegant. You can choose between beige or dark grey upholstery and you can even get an upholstered headboard included – although it does come at an extra cost.

The divan bed is made from Scandinavian softwood, which both works well with the overall colour palette and ensures the bed frame will stay in good shape for a few years. And as far as Emma is concerned, it's guaranteed to last for at least 2 years! Plus, you get a 200-night trial (or 30 days if you go for the drawer divan option).

As far as storage options are concerned, Emma is offering two or four storage drawers. They're easy to assemble but they do also hike up the price a bit.

Lastly, we have to point out that Emma does offer quite a few fantastic divan bed bundles.

So, if you also need a new mattress, check out our review of the Emma Sleep bundles right here.

The first thing we want to point out about the Comfort Pocket 1400 Ortho Divan Bed is how many options you get. Sure, you get the standard choice between a few colours and sizes. But when it comes to the storage compartment, this divan bed is unbeatable.

It offers both drawers and an ottoman-style opening. On top of that, it also offers a half-ottoman approach. So, when it comes to extra storage, this divan bed can get the job done in quite a few ways.

On top of that, the bed frame itself is quite sturdy, with a whopping 5-year warranty and a 60-night trial. So, as far as bed brands go, Silentnight is standing out when it comes to coverage.

Lastly, the mattress itself is a pocket-sprung, firm mattress that's sure to delight stomach sleepers, back sleepers, and even slightly heavier side sleepers. However, if you do want a medium-feel mattress, you can just get a memory foam mattress topper to put on top.

The only major downside is that the headboard comes with a high extra cost. So, if the best divan bed in your head has a headboard, the best value title goes out the window in this case. Also, we found it difficult to find any information about the actual divan bed frame.

It's no secret that side sleepers rule the bedding world (at around 75%). So, we've found a divan bed that's going to make a lot of people happy!

Side sleepers generally need a softer mattress, which is why we chose the lowest firmness option. This will ensure that your hip and shoulder can properly sink into the mattress and keep your spine healthy. However, if you're a combination sleeper or are of a bigger frame, you can easily switch to a medium-firm mattress with a single click!

Plus, with a whopping 4000 pocket springs, you can rest easy knowing that every part of your body is getting the support it needs. And the combination of wool, cotton, and hemp is going to stop any overheating incidents from happening.

The divan base is also made out of sturdy timber, meaning that it's going to stick around for quite a while. And given how you're getting a 10-year guarantee, this is a lot more than an empty promise.

However, we will note that while there are plenty of colour options, you can only choose between two drawers or an ottoman storage system. So, if you're looking for four pull-out drawers, this bed frame isn't ideal.

The Nectar Grand Divan Bed stands out in a few ways. For one, it not only has a luxurious headboard but also a foot end, which is quite rare. And aside from just looking snazzy, this will make sure that your mattress will stay in place regardless of how much you toss and turn at night.

But having a matching headboard and foot end also hikes up the price quite a bit.

However, the bed frame is also really well-built. It has an anti-entrapment mechanism if you decide to go for the ottoman storage. And the deep drawers can handle up to 12kg thanks to the metal runners. So, if you plan to stash something heavier than a pillow or duvet, this is a huge plus.

The drawers also come pre-fitted, meaning that assembly is as easy as it gets. And if you do decide to get a mattress to go along with the divan bed base, you'll be in for quite a nice surprise. Not only does Nectar offer some of the best mattresses on the market, the Nectar Hybrid being our favourite, but you also get them at a 20% discounted price.

Given how this divan set has the word backcare in the title, you shouldn't be surprised to learn that it's ideal for those suffering from back pain. The mattress is hand-tufted, with extra edge support, and 1000 pocket springs to keep your spine in line.

The mattress is also two-sided, with different materials on each side. This means that you can sleep on the cooling side during the summer and the warmer, cosy side during the winter.

The divan base is also quite sturdy, with a 5-year warranty to back it up. It also features castors that make moving the entire bed a lot easier. It also gives you plenty of options, being one of the few divan beds with a Single size, as well as a few drawer options.

Lastly, the entire divan set is quite affordable. And since it also caters to a lot of people, it's a very safe pick.

If you're looking for a mattress to help with back pain, an adjustable bed might be perfect. After all, you can fine-tune the exact angle at which you sleep, alleviating pressure on your back and joints. And as far as divan bases are concerned, the Natural Comfort Adjustable Divan Bed is among the best.

For one, the mattress is not only adjustable but rather luxurious as well. It utilises memory foam, pocket springs, and natural materials like silk to create the perfect sleeping experience. And let us tell you, finding a solid adjustable hybrid mattress is a lot tougher than you'd think!

And the divan base is also no pushover! With the longer warranty we've had so far, at 20 years, it's obvious this bed was made to last. You can also choose to have integrated drawers and you get a nifty handheld device to change the angle at which you sleep!

Plus, it has one of the more rare bed sizes, a Small Single, which could be perfect for those with limited space. With that being said, this bed doesn't come in a Double size, which is a bummer.
