Divan Beds or Ottoman Beds – Which Bed is Best for Your Storage Needs?

Extra storage space in your home means that you can keep rooms tidy and clutter free and ottoman beds and divan beds are the ideal way to store items. With both divan beds and ottoman beds offering great storage solutions though, which one is right for you? Take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of each below…

Divan beds for storage

Divan beds are a popular choice for storage as items can be easily accessed via the drawers in the bed. Most makes of divan bed contain at least two drawers which are deep enough to store anything from sheets to books and toys. Depending on the bed you choose, you will be able to access these draws by pulling them out or by sliding across a panel to access the under bed area. In most cases, opting for pull out drawers is a better choice as it’s easier to store items neatly in these and as you will be pulling them right out you can clearly see what’s inside. One main disadvantage of divan beds for storage purposes is that in most cases you will need to pay extra for drawers, usually they cost around GBP 30 – GBP 100 or more depending on the number of drawers you require and the cost of the actual bed. Divan beds are ideal if you require easy access to items stored in the bed and as the drawers are built-in they offer a reliable and stylish storage solution.

Ottoman beds for storage

Ottoman beds work in a similar way to a traditional ottoman, as to access items stored in the bed base you simply lift the top half of the base up. Selecting an Ottoman bed is a good choice if you have a lot of items to store as you have access to a space the entire size of your bed which gives you plenty of storage space, especially if you have a king size ottoman bed. Ottoman beds are generally classic in style and many leather ottoman beds can add a touch of glamour to the bedroom. One downside of an ottoman bed is that some people may find accessing the storage space difficult as the entire top half of the base needs to be raised up. Ottoman beds are ideal for storing items which you don’t need to use regularly such as spare sheets or duvets and many ottoman beds feature easy lift or assisted lift action to make opening the bed much easier. A possible disadvantage of ottoman beds is that they do tend to be more expensive than divan beds. If you require lots of storage space as well as a super stylish bed then ottoman beds are a great choice for your home.

Whether you prefer divan beds or ottoman beds for your storage solution, you will find plenty of comfortable beds to choose from in the huge selection at KD Beds.

Which Sofa Bed is Right for Your Home?

Which Sofa Bed is Right for You and Your Home?

Sofa bed retailers such as KD Beds specialise in providing huge ranges of sofa beds which are designed to suit all requirements. Sofa beds are a useful addition to any home as they provide both a comfortable place to sit and also an easy way to put guests up for the night. Fold out sofa beds are also ideal for small apartments or studios where space is at a premium thanks to the duel use they provide.

How much space is available for your sofa bed?

This is the defining question when it comes to buying a new sofa bed and not only do you need to consider the space available in the room that the sofa bed will be going in, but also if it will fit though the doorway or up the stairs. Sofabeds tend to be chunkier than regular sofas because of the mechanism used to transform the sofa into a bed. Before you look at any sofa beds, measure the size of the doorways and stairs that the sofa bed will need to fit through. You should also ensure there is enough space for the fold out sofa bed to fit in your chosen room when it’s folded out.

How often will you use your sofa bed?

The Flame Max Corner Fabric Sofabed is a fabulous sofa bed with many possibilities

How often you use the sofa bed will completely depend on your individual circumstances, for example, if you have it as a standby for guests then it could be used once every couple of months. If you plan to use the sofa bed every day because you have a studio apartment or maybe a lodger then the sofa bed will take a lot more wear and tear. Using a sofabed as your main bed means that you should invest in one that not only looks great but is also a comfortable bed. Sofa beds generally only have a thin layer of padding over the mechanisms which gives a firmer surface to sleep on which is fine for the odd night but could be uncomfortable in the long term. If you plan to use your fold out sofa bed permanently then invest in one which has a sturdy base and a thick, durable mattress so you are comfortable.

What style of sofa bed are you looking for?

Once you know where your fold out sofa bed will go and how you will use it, you then need to decide on what style of sofa bed you would like. The style of the fold out sofa bed you choose will largely depend on your taste and your current decor. Even if you find a cheap sofa bed at an online sofa bed retailer for example, it’s no use buying it if it won’t complement your home. Modern sofa beds range from minimalist futons to luxurious corner sofa beds in leather upholstery. Leading bed companies such as Sweet Dreams specialise in modern sofa beds which are both comfortable and classic in design so will harmonize with most decors.

Fold out sofa beds are a useful addition to any home so if you’re looking for cheap sofa beds check out the great selection of fold out sofa beds available at KD Beds.

Ottoman beds are the ideal way to keep bedrooms and guest rooms tidy and clutter free and sofa beds and stowaway beds are perfect for saving space in small rooms and apartments.

As well as being a useful addition to a guest bedroom, sofa beds can also save room in a bijou apartment or a studio as they allow extra room during the day and can be simply folded out to sleep on at night. Whatever room you choose to have a sofa bed in they will save you ample space and also change the function of the room from a study or living room into a bedroom as and when you have the requirement. Online sofa bed retailers often have superb discounts on sofa beds so shop around before you make an investment.

Stowaway beds

If you are short on space then a stowaway bed is the simple way to free up extra room.

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Guest Beds

The Relyon Storabed is a high quality Guest Bed which is one of KD Beds best selling items.

The advantages of buying guest beds

The main advantage of having a guest bed is that when people come to stay (even if it’s at short notice) you have the facilities available for them to have a comfortable night’s sleep. If you don’t have a guest bed then you’ll have the hassle of asking guests to bring camp beds or mats with them or letting them sleep on the sofa which can be uncomfortable for them and disruptive for you. Another financial advantage of buying guest beds and mattresses is that you don’t necessarily have to buy the top of the range products as guest beds tend to be used intermittently. Guest beds can also serve a dual purpose if you choose a guest bed from sofa bed retailers. Sofa beds make ideal guest beds as when you don’t have guests staying over, the spare room can be transformed from a bedroom into an extra lounge or study as the guest bed can be folded up out of the way. If you are short on space then check out sofa bed retailers for folding guest beds as these can save plenty of room when not in use and be ready for guests within minutes. Divan guest beds are available with storage draws underneath so if you need extra storage then guest beds offer a neat and tidy place to put items.

The disadvantages of buying guest beds

Some more complicated fold up beds or sofa beds can be difficult to assemble and can take a while to get ready for guests. When you are visiting online sofa bed retailers make sure you check out how easy the beds are to put up before you buy. Even if you have a large spare room a guest bed can take up significant amounts of space which can be especially annoying if you only use the bed a few times a year. Maximise the space available by choosing a sofa bed from online sofa bed retailers so the bulk of the bed can be folded out of the way when not in use. Guest sofa beds such as futons can be a little too firm for many people so check out what else would be more suitable from a range of sofa bed retailers. Although you don’t need to spend a fortune on buying guest beds, you should make sure that the beds you choose are comfortable enough to suit all your guests.

Guest beds are ideal for accommodating friends and family for the weekend or longer and they can be an attractive addition to a spare room. For small spaces sofa beds are a superb compromise as they free up space when not in use. For a great range of guest beds please visit online bed retailer KD Beds today.

4)      The antique brass bed look can be achieved at an affordable price with replica discount metal beds which are made from regular metal but designed to look like traditional metal beds.

5)      If you can’t decide whether you prefer metal or wood for your bed then choose a contemporary metal bed frame which has wood detailing. These contemporary metal beds are a great mix of natural wood and metal.

6)      Ordering your metal bed frame online can mean you find great discounts but make sure you choose a supplier which will deliver your metal bed frame for free so you can save even more money.

7)      Metal bed frames are great for children’s beds as they are affordable and single beds can start from as little as £70. Modern metal beds can see children through to their teenage years as they are stylish and will save you money buying new beds when your children grow up.

8)      If you require extra support from your metal bed frame then make sure you invest in a bed with a sprung matted base. This type of base will give you a firmer surface for your mattress and may even mean you can buy a cheaper mattress to get the desired support.

9)      Metal bed frames come in a variety of colours so if you plan to keep your bed for many years then make sure you invest in one which will suit any colour scheme. Classic white metal beds and black metal beds are excellent choices to complement any decor.
