What is a divan bed with headboard, and why pick one
A divan gives you a tidy upholstered base, the option for real storage, and a matching headboard that finishes the wall like a boutique hotel. Clean lines. Calm look. Easy daily life. We build in Yorkshire with neat seams and solid fixings.
Which headboard style suits your room
Wingback calm
Curved wings soften modern rooms and frame pillows nicely. Looks lush in chenille and velvet.
Chesterfield classic
Deep button detail with tailored lines. Timeless and very photogenic.
Sleigh smooth
Gentle scroll feel and flowing profile. Works a treat with calm colours.
High headboard statement
Tall and confident. Great behind lamps and layered cushions.
Which storage layout works best for you
Two drawers
One side tidy or a split at the foot. Quick daily access without lifting a mattress.
Four drawers
Both sides organised. Perfect if you like neat zones for each person.
Ottoman lift
Full base capacity. Side lift for tight foot space or foot end lift for clear ends.
No storage
Prefer a lighter look. A simple frame still pairs with a stand alone headboard.
How do I measure for headboard height and side space
Window sills and sloped ceilings
Measure sill height and ceiling pitch. Leave breathing room above the headboard. Tall designs love tall walls.
Bedside tables
Check table width and lamp shade size. Continental drawers at the head end clear chunky tables on selected bases.
Walkways and delivery path
Leave easy foot space. Measure doors and stair turns for delivery. Sections are sensible. Planning keeps it calm on the day.
What size should I choose
Single 3ft
Box rooms with one clear side. Headboards still make a moment.
Small Double 4ft
Cosy couples or luxe solo. Measure tables before you pick drawer layouts.
Double 4ft6
Classic rooms and guest spaces. Balanced look with many headboard styles.
King 5ft
More stretch and more presence on the wall. A sweet spot for many homes.
Super King 6ft
Suite energy. Tall headboards look incredible at this size.
Which fabrics and colours make sense
Fabric guide
Velvet catches the light for drama. Chenille is soft and forgiving. Linen look is calm and modern. Leather look wipes clean and adds a smart edge.
Room light and lifestyle
South facing rooms handle richer colours. Busy family rooms love practical textures. We will help you match light and use.
Which mattress pairs best, and will it fit
Pocket sprung
Airflow and lively support. Runs cooler and suits many sleepers.
Memory foam
Contour and quiet motion. Partner turns do not travel.
Pillow top
Plush hotel surface with steady support under it.
Orthopaedic
Firm and focused alignment for posture fans.
Yes. We follow standard UK sizes. Pair the base and headboard with the right size from our mattress range and you are set.
Delivery, assembly, and care
We deliver with care and common sense. Bases arrive in sensible sections for stairs and tight turns. Headboards attach with clear fixings. Most builds take thirty to forty minutes. Read delivery and returns, see assembly instructions, and check payments. Care tips live in Care and Maintenance.

FAQs
Is the headboard included
Yes on this collection. You get a matching headboard with the base. Check the product page for exact style and size.
How does the headboard attach
Most headboards use struts or are floor standing with secure fixings. The kit is included and the steps are simple.
Can I change the headboard height
Many designs allow small height adjustments during fit. For special heights, message us and we will confirm what is possible from the workshop.
Do drawers work on carpet
Yes. Drawers run well on carpet and hard floors. Keep thick rugs clear of the glide path for a clean pull every time.
Can I choose which side the drawers go on
On many models you can set both on one side or split at the foot. For help with the plan, send a quick sketch of your room.
Will my mattress fit
Yes. We follow UK standards. Pick your feel from the mattress range and match the size to your base.
Can I get an ottoman lift instead of drawers
Yes. See ottoman divans for side lift or foot end lift. Same calm look, bigger hidden space.
Does it squeak
Built and tightened correctly, no. After a week of settling, nip fixings once and you are good.
