Types of bed base

• Divans act as bases for mattresses and either have springs which allow the mattress to adapt to the body's contours, or a solid top which provides firmer support. A divan is useful if you're tight on space as most are available with drawers to provide additional storage.

• Ottoman/Storage Beds are where the whole of the bed base is revealed with an easy to operate mechanism and are a fantastic idea which free up valuable space in other parts of the bedroom.

• Frames/Bedsteads are more decorative and will provide a definite classic or contemporary look to your bedroom. A 'bowed slat' (or 'sprung slat') bedstead will give more cushioned support than 'solid slat'.

• Guest/Folding and storage beds provide flexible solutions for overnight guests. With a small bedroom, it makes sense to use your bed as a secondary storage option.
