Choosing the Right Divan Bed
A divan bed is one of the most practical and versatile choices for any bedroom. With a supportive base and the option of built-in storage, it’s an easy way to make better use of your space while maintaining a clean, contemporary look. A well-chosen divan bed can bring together comfort, functionality, and style, making it a popular choice for bedrooms of all shapes and sizes.
Types of Divan Bed
The OPA Living collection includes a variety of divan bed styles developed to suit different needs and room layouts, including:
Standard Divan Bed Base
A traditional divan bed base offers reliable support and a streamlined appearance. The compact design creates a tidy foundation for your mattress while helping you make the most of your bedroom space.
Divan Bed with Storage
A divan bed with storage incorporates discreet built-in drawers, giving you valuable space for bedding, clothing, and household essentials. Storage divan beds are particularly popular in homes where maximising space is a priority.
Ottoman Divan Bed
An ottoman divan bed features a lift-up mattress platform that reveals a large hidden storage compartment underneath. A divan ottoman bed gives you a lot more storage than drawer models and is ideal for storing larger items such as duvets, suitcases, and seasonal clothing.
Single, Double and King-Size Divan Beds
Whether you need a compact single divan bed, a practical double divan bed, or a spacious king size divan bed, our collection offers sizes to suit every room and lifestyle.

What to Consider Before You Buy Your Divan Bed
Bed Size
Measure your room carefully before choosing a bed size.
- Single divan bed: Ideal for children's rooms, guest rooms and compact spaces.
- Small double divan bed: A great choice for smaller bedrooms where you need extra sleeping space.
- Double divan bed: One of the UK's most popular bed sizes, as it offers comfort without dominating the room.
- King size divan bed: Perfect for larger bedrooms and if you want maximum sleeping space.
Storage Requirements
Think about how much storage you need. A single divan bed with storage can give you valuable space in compact bedrooms, while a divan ottoman bed offers the largest storage capacity.
Upholstery Choice
Choose a fabric that complements your interior style and practical needs. Velvet creates a luxurious feel, while linen gives you a more relaxed look.
Mattress Compatibility
Many customers choose a double divan bed with mattress for convenience and complete comfort, so make sure the mattress you choose gives the support and feel that you are looking for.
How to Style a Divan Bed
A matching upholstered headboard can help bring the whole bedroom scheme together.
- Layer your bed with premium bedding, cushions, and throws to add some texture and warmth.
- Use bedside tables and lighting to frame the bed and give a sense of balance to the room.
- For smaller rooms, go for lighter fabric colours to help the space feel brighter and more open.
- A king size divan bed can be really striking when you pair it with statement lighting and luxurious textiles.
