What size is a small single divan bed?
A small single divan bed measures 2ft6 wide x 6ft3 long, or 75cm x 190cm, making it one of the most space efficient bed sizes available in the UK. It is designed for rooms where space is limited, providing a supportive and comfortable sleeping area without taking over the room. This size works particularly well in guest rooms, box rooms, and children’s bedrooms.
Although compact, a small single divan bed is highly practical. You can choose built in storage drawers for storing bedding or everyday items, or opt for an ottoman base that lifts up to reveal storage across the entire base. This is ideal for smaller spaces, as it allows you to maximise storage without needing extra furniture.

What storage options are available for small single divan beds?
Due to the compact size of small single divan beds, storage options are kept simple and practical to suit smaller spaces. These divan bases are available with no storage or with two side drawers, making them ideal for rooms where floor space is limited but extra storage is still needed.
The two drawer option can be positioned on either side of the bed. During assembly, the base can be rotated so the drawers open from the left or right, depending on your room layout and access space.
Alternatively, you can choose an ottoman base with either end opening or side opening access. Ottoman storage offers significantly more space than drawers, providing up to four times more storage, as the entire base lifts to reveal full under bed storage, making it a smart choice for maximising space in compact bedrooms.
