A Divan bed is an increasingly popular option while shopping for a new bed - but many shoppers don't know what the terminology means, and why it differs so greatly from other beds. Here's everything you need to know about the bed design, and why it has been trending with those furnishing their home.
A Divan bed is a type of bed specially made with a matching base and mattress, designed to perfectly fit one another. Typically, the base is made of wood, with a fabric outer layer.

Always check the instructions of your divan bed first and foremost for any nuances with your specific bed's instructions.
