Tests & Verdict

Here we collect tests, guides and product reviews so that you can create a picture of what others think about the product. This analysis and review is based on my experience and 12+ years of industry insight.

Good quality bed frame that has a number of colours to suit your room.

Different storage options depending on your own individual needs.

Fairly long lead time that may put customers off who need in a hurry.

No height options on this particular range and while colour and drawer options vary, the height is not an option for change sadly.

Why our sleep experts loved it

The Signature Divan Base from Dreams is a stylish and functional addition to any bedroom. It's upholstered in a luxurious suede-effect fabric with a velvety finish, which gives it a sophisticated and elegant look. The base is available in a choice of five colours, so you can easily pick one that will match your existing bedroom decor or start fresh with a new look while the sturdy chrome glides make it easy to move the base along hard or carpeted floors, and the platform top provides a firm and supportive base for your chosen mattress.

One of the standout features of the Signature Divan Base is the range of drawer options that are available. The 2-drawer option allows you to choose whether the drawers are positioned on the left or right side of the bed, depending on which end the headboard is fixed to. The 4-drawer option has drawers on either side of the bed, and the 2 + 2 option has two regular-sized drawers at one end and two continental drawers at the other, which is great for those who have bedside cabinets but still need access to drawers.

Overall, customers have been very happy with their purchase of the Signature Divan Base. Many have noted the high quality and beautiful design of the base, and have praised the abundance of storage it provides. Some have also commented on the good value for money that the base offers. However, one customer did have a negative experience with the customer service they received, reporting that only their mattress was removed when they were promised both their old mattress and base would be taken away. Despite this one issue, the vast majority of reviews have been positive, with customers rating the base highly for its quality, value, and design. The base is made in the UK and comes with a one-year guarantee, giving you additional peace of mind.

Picked this classic divan as just need a standard divan bed base without having to spend a lot of money. Very good value and offers a fair range of colours with either 2 or 4 drawers options. Picked a navy blue one and a beige one for two separate bedrooms. Both turn out looking great and look more expensive than they are, especially once the headboards were installed. Paid to have the beds assembled so didn't actually know how hard to put the beds together. The drawers look slightly weak too as the bed is actually hollow inside but I guess it should be fine as long as I am gentle with them. Overall very happy about the purchase!

We received our divan bed and we are so impressed! The silver colour is beautiful and we already have a headboard on order to match! We were amazed by how spacious the 4 drawers were, perfect for that extra storage that is easy to get to when needed. We went with the Harris double mattress and both had the best sleep weve had in ages! I just cant wait for our headboard to arrive now!

Four draw divan bought at the same time as mattress. Easy to put together. I did it on my own but would have been easier with two people. Draws not as sturdy as my old divan and not as much room but adequate for moderate storage. Nice and lightweight easy to manoeuvre wheels work. Overall happy with purchase price paid.

We bought this bed for a friend coming to stay with us for Christmas and New Year. She has just left for home today and her opinion was that the bed was super comfortable and she slept like a log. My husband is over the moon with the actual manufacture of the bed so all in all we are very happy with our new purchase.

Received today. The overall build quality is as expected for the price so not amazing and feels quite cheap. However the frame does look feel solid enough for most. One of the drawers however came damaged which is a huge shame. The bed shouldn't be moved too often as it may break entirely.

Everything went very well. From ordering my bed to the delivery of the bed. The website is easy to use, I had emails to keep me updated on delivery and when it came to delivery I had a phone call the morning of delivery along with an email with the time slot given.

I had these beds (x2) delivered today for my sons who share a room. The delivery guys kept me informed of when they were coming and took the beds upstairs for me. Headboards easy to attach and great storage drawers underneath for uniforms and toys.

The divan bed base was ease to put together, but only giving it 4 stars as you only have two plastic clips underneath holding the bed base together, instead of hook clips on the side which would have been much better and more secure

Solid Base, good quality for a reasonable price. Only negative would be that the clip that joins the bases looks a little unsightly. Could have been a darker colour - the silver clip stands out against our brown base

Questions and Answers About The Dreams Workshop Divan Bed Base

Prospective customers had the following questions about the product

Ronn
Hi Is there anyone out there from Dreams who can answer my question? Is a 2 drawer bed more expensive than a 2 drawer? Can I have a sample of material? Perhaps an answer from the company rather than a customer is appropriate? Taonn

Answer: Sorry about the length of time it has taken to answer this particular question.The 4 drawer is more expensive than the 2 drawer and can be selected from the drop down menu, once you have chosen the size you would like to purchase.Unfortunately we are currently unable to provide sample fabrics for the products at this time, however you can see a selection of divan bases at your nearest Dreams store.The size of the drawers are 70cm in length with a width of 44cm and a depth of 12cm, it's note worthy that the drawers hold up to 15kg in weight.I hope this helps and sorry again.

The single divan photo shows two drawers on one side but the text and illustration suggests that you get one on either side (top or bottom). Which is correct?

Answer: .Two Drawers on one side, the images online are correct. The text on product advises this:Drawer optionsFor the 2-drawer divan option, the drawers can be positioned either at the head-end or foot-end as the headboard can be fixed at either end of the base, aside from the small single and single which will have both drawers on one side.In the 4-drawer divan option, the drawers appear either side.Many thanks

Is it possible to have drawers at each side but at the bottom end?

Answer: If this divan base is purchased as the two drawer option, both drawers will be on the same side - there is unfortunately no option to have two drawers at the base of the bed, unless the four drawer option is purchased.Our TheraPur divan base has the option to have two drawers on each side at the bottom of the bed. This can be found online by searching TheraPur Divan Base.

As the plywood base is only 2.5mm thick, does this mean the underside of the base is supported by wooden slats? And if so, how far apart from each other are the slats on a super king size?

Answer: The base is not slatted but is fully supportive. A Super king divan base is made up of two single size bases and will securely hold any of the mattresses. A common issue with damage to Divans is when being moved without the mattress on, if a person was to stand on the base without a mattress the concentration of pressure in that one point will most likely cause the plywood to break. I hope this information helps.

If I buy two single divans can they be joined together to make one large bed with one headboard? Thereby having two separate mattresses of different firmness.?

Answer: If you purchase a Super King size divan this can split into 2x Single divans. We also offer a range of Zip and Link Mattresses with split tensions so you can create the perfect bed for you.If you need more assistants please visit one of the Dreams stores or give the Telesales a call and they will be happy to help.

What is the weight restrictions

Answer: Thank you for your enquiry. At Dreams we do not have a weight restriction on the Divan bases. They are designed to be supportive and will take any of the heaviest mattresses and happy sleepers included. the Ottoman option bases are the strongest of the range so if their is a concern, then this may be the most suitable choice.

Can you take the wheels off?

Answer: This base can be assembled without the addition of the single wheeled castors, however we would not recommend this. The base has been constructed specifically to accommodate the castors and we would recommend that it is assembled in the correct way in order to maximise the life of the product.

Could the super king size be used as two single beds when needed? And is it possible to fit this bed with two normal single headrests, so you can split and merge the beds?

Answer: If you purchase a Superking Size base then this can be used as two Euro Single bases when separated. Please note that there is a 10cm difference between a standard single and a euro single.Each divan is pre drilled with headboard holes so is compatible with UK headboards. Kind Regards. Dreams.
