Divan Beds with Storage: Our 101 Guide

Divan Beds with Storage.

Had enough of trying to squeeze everything you own into your current storage? Are your wardrobes so full that you can’t even see what is actually in there? Then you possibly need to up the stakes with one of our divan beds with storage.  Indeed, the space under the bed is probably one of the least utilised spaces in a bedroom. Therefore, it makes logical sense to put it to good use. Whilst you can put boxes under your bed, this can often look untidy and access can be a struggle.

The great thing about our divan beds with storage is that whilst they are practical, they look aesthetically pleasing too.  There are two types of divan beds with storage, divan beds with drawers and divan beds with ottoman storage. Here we will discuss the pros and cons of both helping you make an informed choice. For a nosey at our full range of divan beds with storage just click here.

Divan Beds with Drawers.

First up from our range of divan beds with storage is our range of divans with drawers. In a nutshell, these beds are box-based beds covered in fabric that generally come with a choice of 2 or 4 drawers. Here are the pros and cons: -

The Pros of Divan Beds with Drawers.

1. Storage is easily accessible with all our divan beds with drawers. Indeed, all drawers are fitted onto gliders, so they pull out with ease. Furthermore, as opposed to ottoman storage, you don’t have to disturb anyone who might be currently in bed when trying to access your storage. Therefore, these divan beds with storage are perfect for everyday items that you require.
2. All our divan beds have the option of being available with continental drawers. Basically, continental drawers are two smaller drawers that would be positioned at the headend which allows the use of bedside tables.
3. If you only have modest storage needs, then you have the option of only having 2 drawers which is more economical than 4 drawers.
4. Out of all our divan beds with storage, our drawer versions are the most economical option.
5. If you're are concerned that are divan beds might look boring, then fear not. All our divan beds with storage are designed to look aesthetically pleasing. Gone are the days of divan beds that need to be covered with a filly valance!
6. Multiple headboard options are available so you can pimp your bed to whatever style you desire. Furthermore, if you don’t want a headboard then that is an option too.

The Cons of Divan Beds with Drawers.

1. If you want to utilise the full space under your bed, then our divan beds with drawers are limited.
2. As with all our divan beds they can be difficult to get into certain spaces, for example a loft bedroom. This is because the bed comes in two prebuilt halves that means tight spaces can be tricky.

Divan Beds with Ottoman Storage.

Next up in our range of divan beds with storage are our divan beds with ottoman storage. Indeed, this means that you basically lift the top of the bed to reveal the storage beneath. The pros and cons are as follows: -

The Pros of Divan Beds with Ottoman Storage.

1. With our ottoman divan beds you can get the maximum amount of storage available. This is because our ottoman divan beds make use of the full space under the bed. In fact, an ottoman divan bed can offer up to four times the amount of storage as a 4-drawer divan.
2. As all our divan beds with ottoman storage feature hydraulic gas pistons, lifting one is as easy as pie. This is the same mechanism used on a car boot. So if you can lift a car boot then you can lift one of these, simples.
3. To the untrained eye, an ottoman divan bed doesn’t even look like a storage bed. This is because you can only see the two gaps where you lift the lid of the bed. Not only does this look more streamlined but it means you can keep your secret hoard well and truly hidden!
4. Again, as with all our divan beds with storage, these beds are designed to be showstoppers. Our ottomans beds are designed to impress even the most discerning eye.
5. Multiple headboard options are available from contemporary to modern and everything in between.
6. All our divan ottoman beds have a boarded base so you can be assured that all your items will be kept of the floor.

The Cons of Divan Beds with Ottoman Storage.

1. As there is a lot more construction involved in an ottoman bed, they are the most expensive option out of all our divan beds with storage.
2. If you want to access the storage daily, then they may not be ideal as you have to lift the bed open. Indeed, if anyone is still in bed then this will be a little unsettling to say the least!
