Bed & Storage Types
If you’re looking to find out the difference between a Divan and an Ottoman or you’re looking to add more functionality to your bed by opting for a style with built in storage, you’ll find plenty of information below on all of the different bed and storage types.
A Classic Bed frame is one of the more popular styles of frame that usually includes an integrated headboard and in some cases a footer. These beds use a recessed slatted base form to support the mattress and typically measure up just a little larger than the mattress sizes. Whilst these bed frames do not include storage, a hollow underneath allows for you to store your belongings.
A Four Post bed frame is a bed with an integrated canopy, similar to the standard bed frames these typically have a recessed slatted base and a headboard. These beds work best in rooms with higher ceilings yet they can give you a lifted look and still look impressive in rooms with lower ceilings.
A divan is a solid bed unit with a flat top which makes for great support. These beds are typically the same measurements as their respective mattress sizes and some even come with storage built in, meaning if you’re extra tight on space these may be one of the best options for you.Â
Ottoman beds have a liftable mattress base giving you access to an enormous amount of storage space underneath, meaning you’ll never have to crawl under the bed to get your belongings again. These beds are ideal for those with an already limited storage space (or if you just have a lot of belongings to store).
These beds come with a solid base appearance with drawers built into the base, these are the best option in terms of quick and easy access to your belongings and provide a large amount of storage space. These beds typically house between 2 to 4 drawers.

Mattress Types
Finding the perfect mattress is a vital part to getting the best nights sleep, every night. Our range of mattresses fall under 3 main types which you can learn about below. Whilst this is a guide to understanding the difference between mattress types, all images are used for illustrative purposes only and the construction of the mattress will vary from brand to brand.
Hybrid Mattresses
Hybrid mattresses combine the technology of both comfort foams and an innerspring support, together these create a mattress that will meet the needs of many sleeper types. These mattresses are layered with different materials with comfort being at the core of the mattresses design.
Memory Foam Mattresses
Memory foam mattresses are designed to gently cradle your body whilst you sleep offering you an all round bodily support. These mattresses are a great option for those who like to sleep on their sides or for those with a lighter body mass, ensuring you still get the right support in comparison to sturdier mattresses.
Pocket-Spring Mattresses
These mattresses contain individual springs encased in a fabric pocket. Whilst these pockets are stitched together, the springs move independently of each other making them highly responsive giving you an ideal support whilst you sleep.
Mattress Tension
Discovering which mattress support is best suited for you plays an important role in not only the quality of your sleep but also maintaining a healthy posture overnight. Whilst these are recommendations on which one is best for you we understand that personal preference will play a large role when making your final decision.
Soft Mattresses generally consist of Memory foam builds and mattresses with lots of contouring support, these mattresses typically will have extra layers of cushioning and padding. These are the best option for side sleepers and people with a lower body mass as the softness will provide you with extra cushioning on the shoulders and hips, which in-turn will help to promote a healthy spine alignment.
Medium To Firm Mattresses are the perfect in between, these are suitable for most people as they’re neither too soft, or too firm. For those who don’t have a set sleeping position and tend to move around a lot during the night, these mattresses are better suited as it will give you the support and softness when required.
Firm Mattresses offer high levels of support and durability, these mattresses are generally better suited for those who like to sleep on their back or front, as well as those with a higher body mass.
