It goes without saying that choosing the right bed and mattress is often down to personal preferences. Many people differ when it comes to mattress firmness, as well as the amount of storage space available in their bed. When it comes to getting comfortable on a night, maybe you prefer a soft, sumptuous mattress to sink into, or you like the idea of a mattress that feels firm. Perhaps you are thinking about purchasing a bed with plenty of storage space for larger items, or a smaller option for everyday use.

With so many mattress and bed types, you might be unsure as to which one is right for you. In this guide, we’ll explore the features of our mattresses and beds to help you find the perfect bed set up for many nights of wonderful sleep.

In This Guide:

  • Explore the different mattress types and find out which one is best for you.

  • Compare divan and ottoman storage beds to find the right option for your needs.

  • Discover the different bed sizes and choose the right size for your bedroom.

  • Browse our recommended beds and mattresses to find the perfect option for you.

The Best Storage Beds

Both divan and ottoman beds are great options for making the most of your storage space, but the type of storage you choose can make a difference to how easily you can access and organise your belongings. From convenient drawers to spacious compartments, we’ll explore the storage options available and help you find the right bed for your needs.

Divan Beds

Divan beds with storage are designed with drawers at the base of the bed, making them a great option for storing everyday items. Whether you need to store toiletries, spare bedding or clothes, the handy drawers of the divan bed are great for freeing up more space in your bedroom.

Divan beds differ from ottoman beds as they have separate storage compartments (the drawers) whereas the ottoman beds have one singular large compartment. Some people find it easier to access their storage in a divan bed, as you can get access to your storage without having to lift the bed base.

Available in a selection of materials, colours and headboard styles, you can buy a divan bed that suits your interior the most, making your bedroom look stylish and complete. To help you decide which colours and fabrics to go for, why not order a free fabric swatch from us?

Our divan beds for sale are also designed with chrome gliders underneath the bed base. This feature ensures that your floors are protected when you manoeuvre the bed, allowing you to easily move it without scratching your flooring.

Delivered within 5-7 days, it doesn’t take long for you to get great sleep in your new comfortable divan bed. But first, let’s take a look at our different size options that we have to offer to help you decide which one to buy.

Choosing The Right Size Divan Bed

The right size divan bed is determined by the size of your room and layout. Before purchasing your divan bed, we recommend that you measure the space in your bedroom and consider any surrounding furniture. Ensure that there will be enough space for the drawers to fully pull out without any obstructions. Our different size options can also benefit different people, and there are advantages to different size options. Let’s break down the sizes of each divan bed to help you decide which is best for your room layout and lifestyle.

Small Single Divan Bed

Our small single divan beds measure 2ft 6in wide (75cm) by 6ft 3in (190cm) long. As one of our smallest size options, it’s perfect if you’re planning on purchasing a compact divan bed for a child’s bedroom or your spare room.

Small Double Ottoman Beds

Our small double ottoman beds measure 4ft wide (120cm) by 6ft 3in (190cm) long. Like the small double divan bed, a small double ottoman bed is also considered as a queen size bed. Couples may choose to go for an ottoman over a divan bed as there is more room to store their larger items in the storage compartment, as well as more freedom for storage layouts, such as using dividers, boxes and much more. However, a small double divan bed is also great for storing and organising a variety of other items.

Ottoman Bed Storage Configurations

If you like the idea of purchasing an ottoman bed, another useful thing to consider is choosing the configuration (the direction of which the bed opens). This is important since you want enough clearance for the bed to open, ensuring that there’s no obstructions. Let’s take a closer look at the different configurations available and what they mean for your bedroom.

Side Opening Ottoman Beds

Side-opening ottoman beds are exactly what they sound like: they’re designed to lift from the side of the bed, making them particularly useful when the bed is positioned with the head against a wall or where there is limited space at the foot of the bed. This opening style allows you to access the full storage area without needing to move the bed away from other furniture at the foot of the bed.

End Opening Ottoman Beds

End-opening ottoman beds lift from the foot of the bed, providing easy access to the storage space underneath. They can be a practical choice for bedrooms where there is sufficient space at the foot of the bed to lift the base.

We recommend that you take this into consideration before buying your bed and check if any surrounding furniture or shelves will obstruct the bed when it opens. If you’re still unsure which configuration to go for, why not check out our guide on end-opening ottoman beds vs side opening ottoman beds to help you make a decision?

Choosing The Right Mattress

Choosing the right mattress can be a game-changer for getting great sleep, and many people have different preferences when it comes to firmness, spring counts and materials. Let’s compare the different mattress options we have to help you make a decision.

Mattress Type Typical Firmness Feel Best Suited To
Memory Foam Mattress Medium to medium-firm Contouring and cushioning, with a more enveloping feel due to spongy, heat-responsive materials. Sleepers who prefer pressure relief and a mattress that moulds to the body.
Pocket Sprung Mattress Medium to firm Responsive with a little more bounce and support from the pocket springs inside. Sleepers who want a balance of comfort, support and responsiveness.
Orthopaedic Mattress Firm to extra firm More solid and supportive with less sink. This can help provide a supportive sleeping surface. Sleepers who prefer a firmer sleeping surface and stronger overall support, and those who sometimes wake up with aches and pains.*
Hybrid Options Medium to firm A balance of medium to firm comfort, combining materials such as memory foam and pocket springs. Those who prefer a medium level of firmness while still benefiting from the support of pocket springs.

*Unfortunately we cannot guarantee that our products will solve any medical issues and it is best to seek professional advice.

Orthopaedic mattresses are designed with many pocket springs inside them, creating a firmer sleeping foundation that can help improve spinal alignment.
