Divan Beds- The Comfy Option

Divan beds are the majority of the beds in the UK’s market. This type of bed is also known as a box spring system. In the past, it was called this due to needing a bed frame with the mattress placed on top of the box springs. The box springs were covered in a fabric with a wooded platform or set of iron creating the “box spring”.

As the bedding evolved, the box spring evolved from the wooden frame that was often heavy to an advanced technology of a unit that easily matched the rest of the bedding to become a freestanding piece of bedroom furniture that was not as bulky and more pleasing to the eye. The units become light enough to be placed on casters for easier mobility.

The first divan beds were about 6 inches thick placed on frames with legs on castors as were deeper in the middle of the beds with depths about 12 inches. The divans were still a spring mattress system design. The mattresses contained numerous springs but still required a two-mattress system. The sleep for the individuals was considered adequate yet the mattresses tended to become softer on the edges and would cause sleepers to roll into the middle of the bed as the bed aged and took new form. The higher level of divan beds were constructed to reduce the pocket in the mattresses by introducing a system with individual spring formation to reduce the rolling yet the edges of the divans still had problems with becoming soft.

Typical to other fashions for the home, bedding manufactures created bedding to highlight the fashion of the divan beds by manufacturing frilled base valances for the beds. The valances managed to cover the base of the bed to add to the bedroom décor. This advancement for bedding made the divan beds more appealing to the public. The bedding included quilted covers and other forms of conventional bedding that flowed over the sides of the beds presenting a nice addition to the bedroom furniture.

Divan beds evolved to the introduction of storage draws for the bases of the beds. The first storage system provided a shallow drawer that was not well received by the public leading to the changes to the design that would change the base of the divan beds to the current system that allows for storage that is more adequate and design of the divan bed.

The new designed changed the base of the divan bed to a platform system without springs that allowed for deeper storage drawers. The changes to the designed was pleasing to consumers although they were not completely sold on the idea of the modification of the bedding yet grew to realize the changes were more advanced from the older version of the bed that sagged on the edges and corrected the firmness of the mattress.

The revolutionary newer divan design created a softer luxurious divan bed with larger drawers as well as the other design that would not have drawers for the base that provided new options for bedding that was affordable, comfortable, and durable without the soft edges.

Although the divan beds have evolved to a system that is commonly seen in most home, it is only sold in the UK market in Europe mainly. The divan beds are continuously being modified to include more stylish base upholstery materials and seem to be a long lasting design consumers admire.
