Discover the benefits of the ottoman divan base

So, you are interested in an ottoman divan base. Did you know that this type of divan base first originated during the Ottoman Empire, what is now modern-day Turkey? In recent years, these kinds of divan bases have become especially popular because they offer the perfect storage solutions for bedrooms of any size, while celebrating a tradition going back many centuries.

Here at Magna Beds we offer a range of Ottoman divan bases in a choice of formats, colours and fabrics to suit every taste. But, before you go down this route, please read our guide below and find out more.

What is an ottoman divan base?

With a design rooted in history dating back to the 14th century, this kind of divan base includes a storage area which is placed underneath the mattress and accessed by lifting a hinged mattress frame, either at the side or the foot edge. At Furniture Bazaar, all our Ottoman divan bases are lifted with the help of gas lift pistons.

We offer customers two types of ottoman divan base: either where the base end lift opens from the foot, or where the side lift opens from the left or right, depending on the customer’s preference.

What to look for in an ottoman divan base

This type of divan base is ideal for today’s homes and apartments, which are increasingly being built on a smaller and smaller scale, despite their residents’ desire for an increasing amount of storage. Indeed, this base responds to the fact that the size of modern bedrooms is shrinking at the same time as the demand for storage space is increasing. For this reason, Ottoman divan bases offer the perfect solution because the entire area underneath the mattress can be used for storing towels, bedding, linen or whatever you desire.

These divan bases include sprung slats for enhanced comfort along with improved mattress longevity. As the slats are slightly curved, they offer greater flexibility and work in harmony with your mattress in order to provide gentler support.

You also need to think about the strength and durability of the divan base. Ottoman bed storage is especially suited for the types of homes and apartments that are prevalent nowadays, which are built on a much smaller scale due to the space limitations dictated by local and national regulations in the UK.
