Divan Beds comprise a mattress and a base, usually in
matching fabric and offering a range of storage options.
The divan bed bases are
available with a choice of either sprung or platform top.
There
are two types of bases for divan beds. Traditionally all divan beds had springs in the
base and this type of 'sprung edge' base is still a firm favourite offering
enhanced levels of support and comfort.
The 'platform top' base, which has a
solid, sometimes padded, lid will make the mattress feel firmer and generally
offers a cheaper option with the facility for storage. The level of support and firmness provided by divan beds is affected by the
type of mattress chosen.
We classify our mattresses into six grades of
firmness:
- Soft
- Medium Soft
- Medium
- Medium Firm
- Firm
- Extra Firm
Firm and extra firm mattresses are often
referred to as `orthopaedic'.
The firmness of each mattress is dependent on
factors such as the spring type, the sort of filling used and the construction.
All divan beds offered on our website states its firmness rating in the
description.
