There are five sizes, three colours, and three storage options, so you can get the bed you want. The Divan Bed features fabric upholstered over timber, a headboard, and optional drawer storage (two or four built-in drawers).

This bed base does not include a mattress. However, you can easily add a DreamCloud Luxury Hybrid Mattress to your order for an additional fee. A hybrid or memory foam mattress is generally ideal for a bed base.

If you’re considering this bed, whether it’s for your bedroom or another room, a great initial question to ask is, “Will it fit in the bedroom?” To help you, let’s look at the sizes available and the associated measurements.

The Divan Bed Sizes and Dimensions

Get ready to measure your bedroom and mattress to ensure both fit the bed base. Below are the available sizes and associated dimensions for the DreamCloud UK Divan Base:

• Single (90cm x 190cm)
• Small Double (120cm x 190cm)
• Double (135cm x 190cm)
• King (150cm x 198cm)
• Super King (180cm x 198cm)

Check Sizes Price

The headboard is 39cm. When added to the base, the total height is 102cm. This height applies to all five sizes.

The bed base size corresponds to your mattress size. For example, a King Divan Bed is designed to fit a standard King mattress in the UK. Getting the correct size is important to get the best support for your mattress.

Fabric Colour Choices

Rather than being stuck with one colour for your Divan Bed, you have choices. The three neutral colours of fabrics available are:

• Smoke (grey)
• Coal
• Biscotti (brown)

These shades will suit many bedrooms. We like that you can pick the one that best matches your room decor, customising the bed.

Reviewing the DreamCloud Divan Bed: Design Benefits and Any Drawbacks

A significant benefit of choosing DreamCloud is that you can choose how you want the divan bed to be in many respects. Let’s discuss that further.

Made How You Want It

The ability to select the type of storage, size, and fabric at the time of order means you will get the divan bed that meets your needs and preferences. This customisability is terrific for anyone with an unusual room layout, looking for certain storage, or wanting a particular colour.

This bed base is available in many combinations of fabric, size, and storage. Your choices will make for a bed you’re excited to add to the house.

Drawer Storage

DreamCloud UK offers the option of adding built-in drawers to the Divan Bed or having no storage. Extra storage can be great for families or anyone lacking closet space. Hidden storage in the bed base is terrific for keeping things out of sight for a tidy bedroom and makes the furniture multi-functional.

The drawer choices are:

• No storage
• Two drawers
• Four drawers

The no-storage choice is the lowest-price option; it might suit those with a smaller budget or who already have enough bedroom storage. Four drawers are a higher price point than two drawers.

There is no ottoman storage option. If you are looking for an ottoman-style base, the DreamCloud Luxury Divan Bed might be right for you. It has two ottoman storage options (side- or front-opening), or you can add drawers. A mechanism lifts the mattress to reveal a significant storage area beneath it.

Has a Headboard

Not every divan bed in the UK comes with a headboard, so we appreciate that DreamCloud UK includes one. The strutted headboard adds to the design and is a comfy backrest while sitting up in bed to read or watch television.

The headboard also makes the bed base look more substantial, elevating its look in the bedroom. If you don’t want a headboard, though, this bed may not be right for you. For instance, you might not want one if there’s not a lot of space above the bed or if you want a small bedroom to look less cramped.

If you want a headboard, having one included with the base is a welcome benefit. The upholstered headboard matches the base for a cohesive look, and you won’t have to shop for one elsewhere.

Simple Assembly

The Divan Bed is designed to be easy to assemble, according to the DreamCloud UK website. We appreciate that; a simple setup means it can be put together in less time and with less stress.

While bed bases are known for being easier to assemble than bed frames, as there are typically fewer parts, DreamCloud makes it even simpler. For example, the drawers are already fitted in the base. A simple clip-on method joins the two bases, and the headboard attaches to the joined base with two legs called struts.

Minimalistic Appearance

With its minimalistic design, this base has a clean, tidy look. The simple headboard covered in your chosen fabric matches the base, free of any tufts, pleats, or other stylistic features. This look might be underwhelming for some people, while others will gravitate toward the clutter-free, sleek look.

The minimal design creates a sense of visual calm, too, unlike an over-embellished bed. The simple aesthetic can also bring together elements of the bedroom easily too with the simple aesthetic, from curtains to bedding.

Construction Review for DreamCloud’s Divan Bed

Understanding the materials and overall construction of the bed, from the base to the headboard, can help you decide if it’s right for you.

Timber

DreamCloud’s Divan Bed is made of timber, a material known for creating strong, durable beds. The timber is certified by the FAC (Forest Stewardship Council). FAC-Certified wood comes from a forest that is managed in ways that protect biological diversity, following strict standards.

This information is helpful if a company’s environmental actions factor into your buying decision. It will also appeal to those who want to lower their eco-footprint.

Strutted Upholstered Headboard

The headboard has a strutted design, with slots and legs to secure it to the base. It is upholstered with the same fabric as the base and easily adjusts for height.

The headboard offers back, neck, and head support as you rest on it while sitting up in bed. It is shorter than the floor standing headboard of the DreamCloud Luxury Divan Bed.

Drawers

Have the base constructed according to your order, whether it has no storage, two drawers, or four drawers. The built-in drawers have a lovely oak effect.

The drawers slide easily open and close on metal runners. They are made strong, each able to hold up to 12kg.

Chrome Effect Glides

Durable chrome effect glides fit to the bottom of the base. The glides help prevent the bed from sliding, especially if the floor beneath the bed is wood or laminate. They are an attractive alternative to castor wheels.

Is It Affordable?

That is an excellent question to ask when shopping for beds. Most people have budgets when shopping for bedroom furniture, and a quality bed base is an investment. When it comes to beds, spending a bit more money generally means getting one better made to last longer. That holds true for DreamCloud’s Divan Bed.

While the DreamCloud Divan Bed is not the cheapest divan bed in the UK, it is well-made and features quality materials. It comes with a headboard, too, so you won’t have to buy one separately if you want one. That saves you money!

Also, if you add the built-in drawers for extra storage, you will not have to purchase a separate piece of furniture with shelves or drawers to hold bedroom items. On the other hand, you can keep the price lower by choosing the no-storage option.

With that in mind, what is “affordable” to one family may not be to another. Budgets can vary widely. Staying within your budget is important so you don’t risk financial hardship.

To help you save money, DreamCloud UK periodically has sales online. There are also financing options available.

What Else to Know About: Warranty, Sleep Trial, and More

Unfortunately, there is no trial period, but there is a manufacturer’s warranty. DreamCloud UK includes a two-year defect warranty with the Divan Bed.

To determine what the warranty includes (and does not), refer to the manufacturer’s Terms and Conditions page. We encourage you to read this and other DreamCloud UK policies to know what to expect, keeping in mind that the company can change a policy at any time.

This bed has a 30-day return policy if unopened in its original packaging. We like that delivery is free in the UK.

The DreamCloud Divan Bed Review: Concluding Thoughts

If you are looking for a quality bed with a headboard included, DreamCloud’s Divan Bed is a great one to consider. Choose from three fabric colours and multiple storage options. If you want to add storage space, two or four strong drawers can be built into the base. The bed then ships free to your UK doorstep.

While there is no trial period, the included defect warranty is two years, and the bed is well-constructed. With an included upholstered headboard and a clean look, the Divan Bed will suit many bedroom styles and is one we recommend.
