Shop Divan Beds by Size: Complete Buying Guide
Finding the right divan bed size is about more than just fitting it through your bedroom door. The size you choose affects sleep quality, room functionality, and how comfortable you feel in your space. Below, we compare each divan bed size to help you make the right decision for your needs.
Compare Divan Bed Sizes
Small Single Divan Beds (2ft 6in x 6ft 3in)
Best for: Children's bedrooms, box rooms, studio flats, or any space where every inch counts.
Why choose this size? When floor space is tight but you still want a proper bed frame with storage options, small single divans deliver. They're particularly popular for children's rooms where you need space for play areas and furniture. Many come with drawer storage underneath, which is essential in smaller bedrooms.
Consider this: Your child will outgrow this size during their teenage years, so think about how long you need this bed to last.
Single Divan Beds (3ft x 6ft 3in)
Best for: Teenagers, guest rooms, spare bedrooms, and adults sleeping alone.
Why choose this size? The standard single offers 6 inches more width than a small single, which makes a noticeable difference to comfort as children grow. It's the most versatile choice for guest rooms because it suits adults while taking up minimal space. Single divans often come with storage options on one or both sides.
Consider this: If the room can accommodate it, a small double might be worth the upgrade for adult use or if the room serves as both bedroom and living space.
Small Double Divan Beds (4ft x 6ft 3in)
Best for: Teenagers who want more space, single adults, couples in compact bedrooms, or guest rooms.
Why choose this size? The small double sits between single and standard double, offering 12 inches more width than a single. It's increasingly popular because it provides proper sleeping space for one person or occasional use by couples, without dominating smaller bedrooms. This size works particularly well in rooms between 9ft and 11ft wide.
Consider this: Measure your room carefully. A small double needs at least 2ft clearance on each side for comfortable movement. If your room is tight, a single with good storage might be more practical.
Double Divan Beds (4ft 6in x 6ft 3in)
Best for: Couples, main bedrooms, and anyone who wants standard UK bed sizing.
Why choose this size? The double is the UK's most popular bed size for good reason. It provides comfortable sleeping space for two people and fits well in most standard bedrooms (typically 10ft x 12ft or larger). Divan bases in this size offer excellent storage configurations, often with two or four drawers.
Consider this: Each person gets roughly 2ft 3in of width, which can feel cramped if either of you are taller or broader than average. If your room is 12ft wide or larger, a king size offers noticeably more comfort.
King Size Divan Beds (5ft x 6ft 6in)
Best for: Couples who want more space, master bedrooms, and anyone who values sleeping comfort.
Why choose this size? King size gives you an extra 6 inches in width compared to a double and 3 inches more length. This translates to significantly more personal space and less disturbance from a partner moving during the night. The extra length benefits anyone over 6ft tall. King size divans typically offer four-drawer storage or ottoman lift-up options.
Consider this: Your bedroom should ideally be at least 12ft x 12ft to accommodate a king size bed comfortably. Measure doorways and staircases before ordering, as delivery can be tight in older properties.
Super King Size Divan Beds (6ft x 6ft 6in)
Best for: Spacious master bedrooms, couples who want maximum comfort, or anyone who views their bed as a key investment in sleep quality.
Why choose this size? This is the largest standard UK bed size, offering each person the equivalent width of a single bed. If you have the space, the comfort difference is substantial. Super king divans often come with premium storage solutions and high-quality upholstery options. They make a real statement in larger bedrooms.
Consider this: You need a bedroom at least 13ft x 13ft for this to work well. Also factor in mattress costs, as super king mattresses and bedding are more expensive than smaller sizes.

Storage Options Matter Too
Divan beds shine when it comes to storage. Here's what to consider:
Drawer storage works well if you need to access items regularly. Two-drawer configurations suit smaller sizes, while four drawers are common on double and larger beds.
Ottoman storage lifts the entire mattress base to reveal a large storage area underneath. This option maximises space but requires clearance at the foot of the bed to lift it.
Slide storage uses the full base area but you pull out drawers from the side, similar to standard drawers but with more depth.
The right storage type depends on your room layout and what you need to store. Bedding suits ottoman storage, while clothing and smaller items work better in drawers.
