Poll: Bed Frame v's Divan?

(Claire), 5 of September of 2013 at 15:51 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 18

Looking to replace our Divan but unsure whether to stick with a divan or go for a frame instead.

What do you all have?

Advantages? Disadvantages?

Go!

    I'd go divan. Storage and no need to hoover under it. Every one's a winner.

    We have a bed frame. We're in a flat and wanted maximum storage underneath for all our millions of storage boxes!

    Bed frame for me, I think they look better but if you've found a divan that looks modern flash away.

    I also think the storage drawers under a divan are a bit naff. Saying that we have nothing stored under our bed frAame because I hate seeing it!

    We have a frame. Our house was built in the 1740's so you wouldn't get a divan up the stairs the frame comes apart so it was easy. I do have boxes underneath though I don't know where I'd put my shoes if I didn't.

    Divan. I like having the drawers for storage as we don't have a lot of storage space in our flat and I think it looks tidier and is less dusty than having boxes under the bed.

    We have a bed frame in our room, and a divan in the guest room. I'm no help, am I?!

    Thanks Guys.

    Agree with Sange about not having to hoover which is a bonus, I also find with the bed frame that we have in the spare room I hoard stuff under it which I don't like. Another issue with the bed frames I've looked at is they appear to be a lot lower than a Divan and we have our TV positioned just so, this could be a problem if we chose a bed that was lower. I agree that the bed frames look better, but you can get some nice divans, once you've put your bed linen on and you've got a nice headboard I think they look fine. I wouldn't have draws with it though, we had one ages ago and I could never open the things, they always got stuck.

    I think I'll stick with a divan, they are easy to assemble too!

    Bed frame for us. I love it; lots of room underneath - we use storage boxes. We also got similar styled wardrobes and chest of drawers and they really compliment each other which I also love ?

    We have a space-saver bed frame like this https://warrenevans.com/beds/?fgid=15 You can get drawers to go under it but we haven't, so it gathers a fair bit of dust!

    Ottoman beds are the BEST. I'd get another if we needed a new one

    I much prefer the look of a bed frame. Ours has full sized drawers underneath so that saves on hoovering.

    We have a divan atm and ditching it for a bed frame, some lovely frames and so sick looking at the divan, plus I think storage stuff under a frame still looks better than those drawers, more room too Smiley smile

    We have a low chunky wooden frame which I like but we had a metal frame which was really high and it was amazing and so pretty but H liked his bed better when we moved in!! I don't have anything under the bed as I think it looks better. Not keen on divans as i find them a bit old fashioned but you can get some pretty headboards now.

    Divans hurt less if you bang your leg on them though. Something I do on a daily weekly basis.

    Metal bed frame which looks gorgeous and great for sleeping in, but is SO uncomfortable for sitting up in. Der, of course you sleep in it, what I mean is tricky to get comfortable to sit and drink your morning cuppa.

    i do fancy one of those beds that the tv pops out of the footboard tho.

    If I were at your place i'll go for a frame but you should take reviews about bed frames and mattress and any other product you want to buy , whenever I want to buy or change my bed frames or mattress I got reviews and check whether should I change or buy something because the reviews over the products are amazing and helped me out about my query.
