Bed height matters because it affects how easily you get in and out of bed. This is especially important for older adults or those with mobility issues.

A divan bed consists of a mattress and a bed base. The base is referred to as the divan, which is made from a wooden frame covered in material. The mattress sits on the top of the base, elevating its overall height making it easier to get in and out of bed.

Both sprung and solid slats offer good support for the mattress. Sprung slats provide extra cushioning, which can improve the overall comfort and the mattress’s durability. Solid slats will make a bed feel firmer and help to reduce movement across the mattress.
