A king size divan is a different purchase from a bed frame. The base and mattress work together as a system, the storage is integrated rather than added, and the overall look is lower-profile and neater than most frame options. For couples who want a practical, well-supported setup in a main bedroom without the visual weight of a large headboard and frame, it is often the most sensible answer. The range is broad though, and the decisions around base type, storage, and mattress pairing matter. At Land of Beds, we've been helping people get this right for over 50 years, with honest advice and no pressure to buy.
Three decisions determine whether a king size divan is right for you and which one to choose.
| Factor | Why It Matters | What to Check |
|---|---|---|
| Base type | The base determines how your mattress is supported and how long it stays in good condition. A pocket sprung base responds independently to movement and tends to extend mattress life. A platform top base provides firm, even support and suits firmer mattresses particularly well. | Whether you prefer a responsive base or a firm platform, and which your chosen mattress manufacturer recommends |
| Storage configuration | Divan storage is integrated into the base, which keeps the room neater than freestanding furniture. The type of storage determines how much you can fit, how you access it, and whether the room layout allows for it. | Room clearance on each side and at the foot of the bed, whether daily access or maximum capacity is the priority |
| Mattress | Most king size divans are sold as a set with a mattress included. The mattress is as important as the base. Buying the set from a reputable brand ensures the base and mattress are designed to work together. | Tension, filling type, spring count, and whether the mattress matches your sleep needs and body weight |

A standard UK king size divan measures 150 x 200cm (5ft x 6ft 6in). It is 15cm wider and 10cm longer than a standard double.
| Dimension | Measurement | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Width | 150cm (5ft) | Gives two adults approximately 75cm each |
| Length | 200cm (6ft 6in) | 10cm longer than a double. Suits sleepers up to approximately 6ft 3in. |
| Space per person | Approximately 75cm | Noticeably more room than a double; most couples who upgrade say they feel it immediately |
| Minimum room width | Approximately 3.5m | With 60cm clearance on each accessible side and at the foot |
King size divan bases are usually split into two halves for easier delivery and handling. The two halves connect to form one solid base, which also makes them significantly easier to get upstairs and through doorways than a single rigid frame.
See our UK Bed Sizes Guide for full room-measuring advice, and our King Size Beds Guide for more on choosing the right king size setup.
The base is the foundation of the whole setup. Two main types are available at king size.
| Base Type | How It Works | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Pocket sprung base | Individual springs inside the base respond independently to weight and movement. Adds a layer of responsive support beneath the mattress. | Couples where one partner moves more than the other, or where the mattress manufacturer recommends a sprung base |
| Platform top base | A firm, solid surface with no spring layer. Provides even, consistent support across the full base area. | Firmer mattresses, orthopaedic requirements, or buyers who prefer a stable, non-responsive base |
If you are buying a divan set from a brand such as Hypnos, Silentnight, Sealy, or Relyon, the brand will typically specify which base type pairs best with each mattress. Our team can advise on this before you order. For a full overview of how divan beds work, see our Divan Bed Buying Guide.
Divan storage is built into the base, which keeps the room cleaner and avoids the need for separate furniture. Here is how the main options compare.
| Storage Type | Capacity | What to Check |
|---|---|---|
| Two drawers | Medium - one drawer on each side | Allow 60cm of clearance on each side for the drawers to open fully |
| Four drawers | Good - two drawers on each side | Allow 60cm of clearance on both sides. Useful for couples sharing storage across both sides of the bed. |
| Continental (2+2) drawers | Good - two larger drawers at the foot, two smaller drawers at the head | Useful where bedside tables sit close to the bed, as the smaller head-end drawers open with less clearance. Check foot-end clearance for the larger drawers. |
| Ottoman | Maximum - full under-bed footprint via gas-lift | No side clearance needed. Check the gas-lift weight rating against your chosen mattress. |
| No storage | None - widest mattress compatibility | A good choice if storage is covered elsewhere in the room, or if you want to keep costs lower |
The most common issue our team sees with divan storage is customers choosing side drawers without checking whether the room allows 60cm of clearance on both sides. At king size, the bed is 150cm wide, so measuring the available space before ordering is essential.
Not sure whether a divan or a bed frame is the better choice? Here is a plain comparison.
| King Size Divan | King Size Bed Frame | |
|---|---|---|
| Profile | Lower, neater, more compact overall | Taller, more visible design presence |
| Storage | Integrated into the base - no clearance needed for side drawers on most options | Ottoman or drawer frames available, but clearance requirements vary |
| Mattress pairing | Often sold as a matched set with the mattress | Mattress purchased separately |
| Delivery and handling | Split base makes it easier to get upstairs | Larger components can be harder in narrow spaces |
| Style options | Fabric headboard can be added separately; cleaner, more understated look | Much wider range of styles, materials, and headboard options |
| Best for | Practical main bedroom setup; couples wanting matched base and mattress; rooms where a lower profile suits the space | Buyers who want the bed to be a design feature; those who already have a preferred mattress |

| Budget | What You Get | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Under £900 | Entry-level divan sets - functional base and mattress from reputable brands. Options available from around £649. | Guest rooms, occasional use, or buyers with a tight budget |
| £900 to £1,500 | Mid-range sets from established brands - better spring counts, more storage options, improved mattress quality. Where many everyday main bedroom buyers start. | A main bedroom used every night by two people |
| £1,500 to £2,500 | Better construction, higher spring counts, natural fibre fillings, longer guarantees. Where most main bedroom buyers land when quality is the priority. | Long-term everyday use, buyers pairing quality base with a quality mattress |
| £2,500 and above | Premium and luxury construction from brands such as Hypnos, Harrison Spinks, and Vispring. Extended guarantees and the highest-specification fillings. | Statement main bedrooms; long-term investment where longevity and comfort are the priority |
Mike Murray, Land of Beds CEO: "The base is half the system. Customers who invest in a quality mattress and pair it with an entry-level base are shortening the life of the mattress from day one. At king size, where both people are relying on the setup every night, the base matters as much as what sits on top of it."

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a king size divan bed? | A king size divan bed consists of an upholstered base and a mattress that work together as a matched set. The base sits directly on the floor or on short legs, without a visible frame or headboard (though a headboard can be added separately). At king size, the bed measures 150 x 200cm. The base is usually delivered in two halves for easier handling. |
| What is the difference between a platform top and a pocket sprung divan base? | A platform top base provides a firm, flat surface with no spring layer. A pocket sprung base has individual springs built into the base itself, adding a responsive layer beneath the mattress. Which is better depends on the mattress - some manufacturers specify which base type their mattresses are designed to work with. Our team can advise before you order. |
| Do king size divan beds come with storage? | Many do - drawer and ottoman options are widely available at king size. Two-drawer, four-drawer, continental, and ottoman configurations are all available across the range. Always check that your room has sufficient clearance before choosing a drawer option - 60cm on the opening side is the standard requirement. |
| What size room do I need for a king size divan bed? | A room of approximately 3.5m x 3.5m gives comfortable clearance on both sides and at the foot of a king size bed, following the 60cm clearance guide. In rooms below 3.5m wide, a double divan may be the more practical choice. See our double divan beds to compare. |
| Do king size divan beds come with a mattress? | Most are sold as a set including both base and mattress. Some bases are sold separately - check the individual listing before ordering. Buying as a matched set from a reputable brand ensures the base and mattress are designed to work together. |
| Can I add a headboard to a king size divan bed? | Yes. Most king size divan bases have headboard fittings built in. A wide range of king size headboards is available separately. See our king size headboards page to browse options. |
| Are king size divan beds easy to assemble? | Yes. Divan bases arrive in two halves which connect together without specialist tools. The mattress then sits on top. A professional assembly service is also available as an add-on at checkout if you would prefer. See our assembly page for details. |
| What brands do you stock for king size divan beds? | We stock a wide range of brands including Hypnos, Silentnight, Sealy, Relyon, Sleepeezee, Harrison Spinks, and Vispring, among others. Each brand brings different construction quality, filling types, and price points. Our team can help you compare before you decide. |
| Do you offer free delivery on king size divan beds? | Yes. Free mainland UK delivery is included on all king size divan bed orders. Lead times vary by brand - check individual listings for current timescales. Some further out postcodes may incur a charge. See our delivery page for full details. |
| Can I buy a king size divan bed on finance? | Yes. Finance is available on eligible orders. See our finance page for eligibility criteria and how to apply. |
| Is old bed removal available? | Yes. A removal and recycling service is available as a paid add-on at checkout. See our removal and recycling page for details. |
