Small Double Divan Bed
Small Double Divan Beds: The Perfect Balance of Comfort and Space-Saving Style
When you need a bed that delivers on comfort without overwhelming your room, a small double divan bed is the ideal choice. Designed to provide more space than a single bed while still saving on floor area compared to a full double, these beds are perfect for growing teens, solo sleepers, guest rooms, and compact bedrooms.
At Best Beds Online UK, we specialise in high-quality small double divan beds that combine smart space usage, elegant design, and lasting comfort — all at affordable prices.
What is a Small Double Divan Bed?
A small double divan bed measures 4 feet wide (120cm) by 6 feet 3 inches long (190cm), making it slightly narrower than a standard double. It’s often called a "three-quarter bed" and is the ideal solution for:
-
Teenagers or young adults transitioning from a single bed
-
Solo sleepers who prefer more space than a single bed offers
-
Guest bedrooms where space is limited
-
Studio flats or smaller master bedrooms
The divan base is a key feature of this type of bed. It's typically a solid, upholstered base made from a wooden frame, often with built-in drawers or ottoman-style storage, providing a sturdy and supportive foundation for your mattress.
Why Choose a Small Double Divan Bed?
Choosing a small double divan bed comes with several practical and aesthetic benefits that make it a popular choice across the UK:
1. Space Efficient Design
Small double divans are perfect for making the most of tighter spaces. Whether it’s a small guest room or a compact flat, the reduced width allows you to save valuable floor space without sacrificing comfort.
2. Built-In Storage Options
Many divan bases come with under-bed drawers or ottoman-style lift-up storage. This makes them an excellent choice for anyone needing extra storage in smaller bedrooms.
3. Versatile Style Options
Available in a wide range of colours, materials, and headboard designs, you can tailor your divan bed to match your existing décor — from contemporary velvet finishes to minimalist linen looks.
4. Supportive and Comfortable
Divan bases offer excellent support for your mattress, enhancing comfort and promoting healthy sleep posture. Whether paired with memory foam, pocket spring, or hybrid mattresses, they help maximise sleep quality.
5. Easy to Assemble and Move
Thanks to their modular base design (often delivered in two pieces), divan beds are much easier to move and assemble than solid bed frames — great for tight staircases or flats.
Who Should Buy a Small Double Divan Bed?
This bed type is particularly well-suited for:
-
Teenagers moving into larger beds
-
Students or young professionals in flats or shared homes
-
Solo adults who want more sleeping space without a large footprint
-
Couples using the bed occasionally in guest rooms
-
Homeowners with small master bedrooms looking for built-in storage
If you want a bed that maximises both space and comfort, a small double divan is a smart investment.
Storage Options: Drawers vs Ottoman
One of the standout features of a divan bed is the integrated storage. Depending on your needs, you can choose:
– 2 or 4 Drawer Divan Base
Choose between drawers on one side, both sides, or at the foot of the bed depending on your room layout. Perfect for storing bedding, towels, or seasonal clothing.
– Ottoman Storage Base
These bases lift from the side or end to reveal a deep storage cavity. They provide significantly more space than drawers and are great for hiding away larger items.
– No Storage Option
If you prefer a minimalist design or already have enough storage, a simple divan base without drawers is a cost-effective choice.
Popular Upholstery & Headboard Styles
Customise your small double divan bed with a variety of finishes and headboard designs:
Upholstery Options
-
Crushed velvet for a touch of glamour
-
Soft linen for a modern minimalist vibe
-
Faux leather for a sleek, easy-clean surface
-
Chenille for a soft, textured finish
Headboard Designs
-
Panelled or vertical line headboards for a contemporary style
-
Buttoned or Chesterfield-style headboards for a traditional luxury feel
-
Plain square or minimalist headboards for a simple, modern look
All of our beds are available in a wide range of colours, including grey, cream, beige, navy, black, and more.
