Divan beds can be described in many ways. For new buyers, divan beds serve as a stronger and versatile alternative to typical ottoman beds. Ottoman style has a lot of woodwork, which generally appeals to people typically fond of wooden surfaces. In contrast, divan beds usually have zero wood on display. Although the structure is primarily built out of wood, the finished product is covered in soft wadding and fabric. Due to their simple design and construction, you can easily customise divan beds according to your home’s interiors and measurements. This makes it an ideal choice of people looking for exceptionally large beds and a staple at boutique hotels and hospitals.
Design and Structure
Divan beds can be described as naturally reinforced beds. This means it’s not designed with reinforcement in mind, but it’s simple four sideboards with planks design provide interlinked support from all sides. Basically, it becomes a sturdy box that can take a significant amount of weight.
This design also calls for unlimited reinforcement and modification opportunities. It doesn’t just stand on four legs. If engineered and assembled properly, divan beds can last for ages.
As for customisation, divan beds have enough surface area to improve their efficiency in terms of storage and functionality. The simple square structure without little protrusion and fitments make it the perfect bed style that fits into the corner of a small room. This feature also makes it suitable for various applications like care homes, motels, small hotel rooms and even in RVs or touring vans/buses.
Their small size makes them ideal for every kind of user, ranging from young children to the elderly, depending on the size and measurements.
Suitable for Large People
Large people will need heavy mattresses as well as a sturdy bed to hold the heft of the mattress. You can either use special beds with unique construction and reinforcements for this requirement or employ decently constructed divan beds, which by default serve the purpose of reinforced beds. Generally, a normal, young and fit person can get sound sleep on a supportive and supple bed. However, that’s not suitable for a large percentage of overweight people or those with special requirements. Reinforced beds are made with extra strength and support in mind to meet the needs of disabled and obese individuals.
Furthermore, such beds coupled with firm mattresses provide autistic individuals with the firmness and wrap pressure they often need to get a good night’s sleep. This means that reinforced divan beds can easily support and hold specially made products such as weighted blankets, pillows etc required by individuals with special needs. The right bed is an important part of a healthy lifestyle for a lot of people and divan beds promise that in the simplest and most affordable way possible.
Affordable
Browse retail prices of regular divan beds, and you will be surprised to find how affordable they are in comparison to other beds on the market. However, sometimes these beds will require extra fitments and reinforcements specially crafted for unique requirements. Although extra, they do not usually cost too much as these beds already have the surface area and strength required for customisations. That being said, if you prefer to add more options such as storage modifications or a headboard, you may have to pay a premium price. Add some uniquely shaded upholstery fabric, soft textured blankets and pillows with a beautiful headboard to complete the room. And Voila! You have a beautiful bedroom with great functionality without spending a fortune on expensive wooden beds.
