Types of Double Divan Beds

If you’ve decided to buy a double divan bed, then the next thing you need to think about is the type you want. The good news is that because double divan beds are so popular in the UK, there are plenty of options available when it comes to both style and type. Here are a few of the most common types of divan beds.

Spring Edge
These are perfect if you enjoy a very soft night’s sleep. With a spring edge divan bed, the springs are on top of the frame which gives you a continuous level of support across the mattress. Because of this, a sprung edge divan is definitely the way to go if you want the most comfortable option. The great thing about a spring edge bed is that even if you have a mattress that’s very hard, the base springs will help to soften it and make it more much more comfortable to sleep on. If you have trouble getting in and out of soft beds though, then a spring edge may not be the right choice.

Platform Top
These are at the other end of the spectrum when it comes to comfort. A platform top divan bed doesn’t contain any springs which makes the whole bed seem a lot firmer. If you’re the kind of person that likes a solid bed or if you require additional support for your back, then this is probably the best option for you.

Firm Edge
A firm edge divan bed has some large springs in the base, but not many compared to a spring edge. These have the benefit of being more comfortable than a platform top but easier to get in and out of compared to a spring edge. For many people, a firm edge divan bed is the best option because it combines the benefits of platform tops and firm edges.

When you buy a double divan bed you don’t just need to think about the comfort and type of bed, but also the amount of storage space you’ll have available. Some beds will have larger drawers than others, so you need to take this into consideration when buying. However, if you want to get large drawers that don’t affect the comfort of a bed, then you’ll have to pay extra for it.

These are some of the more common types of double divan beds but there are other options available should these not meet your requirements. It’s often a good idea to try out a bed in a shop before you buy so you can get a feel for how comfortable it is, as well as how easy it is to use. Even if you decide to make your purchase online, always take the time to check out different types of double divan beds in local stores.
