There are a number of unique advantages to investing in a divan bed and it is no surprise that they are so popular amongst homeowners. Having convenient storage drawers under the bed is one of the main reasons why this type of divan base is the first choice for many and it is fair to say that you can never have too many storage solutions in the bedroom.
When purchasing a divan bed, homeowners will have a couple of options, they can either; purchase a divan bed set that is made up of a divan base, a mattress and a headboard, or they can purchase a divan base. Whilst you may assume that everyone will opt for a divan bed set because it is the easiest way to purchase a whole new bed, this isn’t actually the case. It is quite common for homeowners to purchase a divan base and there are a few benefits to doing so, including;
Less expensive than divan sets
As you may expect, divan bases will be more affordable than divan beds. Generally speaking, a divan base will be a few hundred pounds cheaper than a full divan bed set, making this type of divan bed base budget-friendly for many who are wanting a new bed.
Whether you purchase a platform top divan base or a heavy-duty divan base, because you’re not getting a headboard and a mattress with the base, it will be less expensive for you to upgrade your existing bed. When opting for a divan bed base only, you may be able to get a super king-size base with four drawers rather than a small double bases with two drawer storage options, for example.
Expand your choice of mattresses
Having the right mattress is key to getting a good night’s sleep and when purchasing a divan bed base only, homeowners have the choice of any mattress that they’d like. This isn’t the case with divan beds and you often only have a small selection of mattresses to choose from.
There are so many different types of mattresses on the market and there isn’t a ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution to this sleeping essential. When purchasing a divan bed base only, you will be able to choose from mattress options such as; memory foam, natural latex, pillow-top, pocket sprung and orthopaedic, ensuring that the mattress meets all of your support and comfort needs.
Mix and match the headboard
Often, headboards are ‘added extras’ when purchasing a divan bed and they are a free standing accessory that isn’t attached to the sprung divan base. So, if you want to keep your bed simple, purchasing a divan base enables you to do so and you won’t have a headboard that you don’t need.
If you change your mind and would like a headboard to go with your divan bed, you will have a huge selection of headboards to choose from too. You will also be able to change your headboard over time if you redecorate your bedroom or simply fancy a change and swapping the headboard to a different design couldn’t be more straightforward.
Upgrade the base but keep your mattress
When purchasing a new bed, you might not actually need a new mattress and purchasing a divan base allows you to keep your current mattress. This is much more cost-effective than purchasing a divan bed set that comes with a new mattress that you don’t really need.
You always have the opportunity to replace your mattress in the future if you need to and purchasing a mattress is something that is easy to do. If you’re only upgrading your bed frame because you’ve changed your interior design, for example, simply purchasing a divan bed bases will prevent you from paying out for an unnecessary mattress.
