Two drawers or not two drawers: which layout, which side, which life
A 2 drawer divan gives you everyday storage without the gym session. Pull, stash, done. It’s the tidy choice for smaller rooms, narrow walkways, or when one side of the bed does all the heavy lifting. Let’s get the plan right so the drawers glide and your room looks designed, not improvised.
Which 2 drawer layout suits my room
Two on one side (left or right)
Both drawers live on the clear side of the bed. Perfect when the other side is tight to a wall, radiator, or wardrobe. Choose the side during order or assembly.
One each side at the foot
Keeps bedside tables clear and gives balanced access where both sides are usable. Great in Doubles and Kings with decent walk space.
Continental (short) drawers
Shorter head end drawers that clear chunky bedside tables. Available on selected models. Not sure if your pick supports them? Ask us.
How do I measure like a pro so drawers open fully and never bump
Side clearance
Measure from mattress edge to the nearest wall or furniture. Leave kneeling room plus full drawer depth. Wardrobe doors and radiators count.
Bedside tables
If tables are wide, use foot end drawers or continental options. Check lamp shades and handle swing before you fall in love with a layout.
Floors and skirting
Drawers run fine on carpet or hard floor. Allow for deep skirting so fronts sit flush, and keep thick rugs clear of the glide path.
Which sizes do you make and who are they for
Single 3ft
Box rooms and neat sleepers. Two drawers on the clear side is a dream.
Small Double 4ft
Cosy couples or luxe solo. Foot end split keeps tables free.
Double 4ft6
The classic choice. Pick one side drawers for narrow rooms.
King 5ft
Balanced proportions. Foot end split looks tidy and practical.
Super King 6ft
Suite energy. Measure side tables before you commit.

FAQs
Can I choose which side the two drawers go on
Yes. Left or right on many models. If both sides are clear, consider one drawer each side at the foot for balance.
Do drawers work on carpet
Absolutely. They glide well on carpet or hard floors. Keep thick rugs out of the glide path for smooth use.
How much can each drawer hold
Ideal for linens, clothes, and tech bits. Spread the weight and avoid overfilling a single drawer for long term glide goodness.
Will bedside tables block the drawers
If your tables are chunky, use foot end drawers or ask about continental drawers on supported models.
Will my mattress fit
Yes. We follow UK standards. Pair your base with the right size from our mattress range and you are set.
Is assembly difficult
No. Sections are sensible and the guide is clear. Most builds take thirty to forty minutes. See assembly instructions.
