An open coil spring is a type of coil spring made from a single wire coiled into a helical shape. Open coil mattresses are known for their affordability, durability, and ability to provide a medium-firm level of support. They also tend to be lighter and easier to manoeuvre than other mattresses.

Divan Bed FAQs
Everything you need to know before you buy
What is a divan bed?
A divan bed consists of a mattress sitting on a fabric-upholstered base that rests directly on the floor on castors. Unlike a traditional bed frame, the base is a solid or sprung unit that doubles as the bed's foundation and — in most cases — its storage. Divan beds are one of the most popular choices in the UK because they're practical, supportive, space-efficient, and available in a huge range of sizes, fabrics and mattress combinations.
What's the difference between a platform top and a sprung edge divan base?
A platform top base has a solid, firm surface across the top — typically a rigid board covered in fabric. It provides consistent, even support across the full mattress and is the recommended base for most pocket spring and memory foam mattresses. A sprung edge base has springs built into the sides and edges of the base, adding a softer, more giving feel around the perimeter. Some sleepers prefer the extra give of a sprung edge, but a platform top is generally the better all-round choice for mattress longevity and support consistency.
What storage options are available on divan beds?
Divan beds come with a variety of storage configurations. A plain base has no storage at all. Two-drawer options typically place one drawer on each side, or both on the same side if access is restricted. Four-drawer bases maximise drawer storage and work well in larger rooms. Ottoman bases lift the entire mattress to reveal a large storage space underneath — ideal for bulky items like bedding and seasonal clothing. Ottoman bases come in side-opening or end-opening configurations depending on your room layout.
Do I need a headboard with a divan bed?
A headboard isn't structurally necessary — a divan bed is a complete, usable bed without one. However, a headboard adds a finished look, protects the wall from scuffs, and gives you something to lean against when reading or watching TV in bed. Most divan beds come with a headboard fixing on the back of the base so you can add one at any time. Headboards are usually sold separately, giving you the freedom to choose a style that suits your bedroom without being tied to a particular design.
What size divan bed do I need?
The right size depends on your room dimensions and whether you sleep alone or with a partner. A double (135 x 190cm) is the most popular UK choice for couples in standard bedrooms. A king size (150 x 200cm) gives noticeably more width and length and is worth the step up if your room allows it. A super king (180 x 200cm) is the most spacious option for couples who need plenty of room. Single (90 x 190cm) and small double (120 x 190cm) sizes work well for single sleepers or smaller rooms.
Can I choose any mattress for a divan base?
In most cases yes — divan bases are compatible with the majority of mattress types including pocket spring, memory foam, memory gel, open coil and hybrid. The main consideration is the base type: a platform top base suits almost any mattress and is the most versatile option. If you're buying a divan set, the base and mattress are already matched to work together. If you're replacing just the mattress on an existing divan, ensure the new mattress is the same size and check the manufacturer's guidance on recommended base types.
Are divan beds good for storage in small bedrooms?
Divan beds are one of the best storage solutions for small bedrooms precisely because the storage is built into the bed itself — it doesn't take up any additional floor space. An ottoman divan in particular can hold a significant amount — equivalent to a large chest of drawers — without adding a single square metre to your room's footprint. This makes them especially popular in flats, children's rooms, and guest rooms where floor space is limited.
How long does a divan bed last?
The divan base itself is extremely durable and will typically last 15 to 20 years or more. It's usually the mattress that needs replacing first — most quality pocket spring or memory foam mattresses last 8 to 12 years. When the mattress reaches the end of its life, you can simply replace it without replacing the base, making a divan a very cost-effective long-term investment. Signs the base needs replacing include visible sagging, broken springs (on sprung edge bases), or damage to the fabric or frame.
Can a divan bed be split for delivery?
Yes — most divan bases in double, king and super king sizes are supplied as two separate halves that bolt or link together once in position. This makes delivery significantly easier, particularly for houses with narrow staircases, tight landings or difficult access. The join between the two halves is hidden under the mattress and has no effect on the sleeping surface. If you have a particularly challenging access route, it's worth checking with us at the point of order so we can advise on delivery options.
What fabric options are available for divan beds?
Divan bases are upholstered in a wide range of fabrics to suit any bedroom décor. Common options include plain weave fabrics in neutral tones such as grey, slate, cream and natural, as well as richer colours and textured finishes. Many brands offer velvet, chenille or bouclé options for a more premium look. The fabric covers the visible sides and panels of the base, so it's worth choosing a colour and texture that works with your headboard and wider bedroom scheme. If you'd like to see the fabric before buying, samples are usually available on request.

Open Coil Springs FAQ's

What is an open coil spring mattress?

An open coil spring mattress (also known as a Bonnell spring mattress) is a type of mattress that utilizes a network of interconnected metal springs to deliver support and comfort.

How It Works
Coiled Metal Springs: The mattress features a series of hourglass-shaped springs wired together to form a supportive base.
Top Comfort Layer: Typically includes a layer of foam, fiber, or pillow-top cushioning to enhance comfort.
Edge Support: Some models come with reinforced edges to minimize sagging and improve durability.

Key Benefits
Affordable: One of the most cost-effective mattress options available.
Good Support: Provides a firm, supportive feel, making it ideal for back sleepers.
Lightweight & Easy to Move: Lighter in weight compared to foam or hybrid mattresses, making it easier to handle.
Good Airflow: The open structure promotes better ventilation, keeping the mattress cooler than memory foam alternatives.

Potential Drawbacks
Less Motion Isolation: Since the springs are interconnected, movement can transfer across the bed, which may disturb a partner.
Can Sag Over Time: The springs may lose tension more quickly than those in pocket spring or hybrid mattresses.
More Bounce & Noise: Tends to be bouncy and may develop squeaks over time, especially with frequent movement.

How does an open coil mattress differ from a pocket spring mattress?

An open coil mattress and a pocket spring mattress both rely on springs for support, but they differ significantly in construction, comfort, and durability.

  1. Spring Structure

    • Open Coil: Features interconnected springs wired together in a single unit.

    • Pocket Spring: Each spring is individually wrapped in fabric, allowing them to move independently.

  2. Support & Comfort

    • Open Coil: Provides even, firmer support but may feel less responsive to the body’s contours.

    • Pocket Spring: Offers better contouring to the body’s shape, reducing pressure points and enhancing comfort.

  3. Motion Isolation

    • Open Coil: More motion transfer—movement on one side of the bed can disturb a partner.

    • Pocket Spring: Minimal motion transfer—each spring moves independently, making it ideal for couples.

  4. Durability & Longevity

    • Open Coil: Tends to wear out faster and may develop sagging over time.

    • Pocket Spring: Lasts longer due to the independent movement of springs, which reduces strain and wear.

  5. Price & Value

    • Open Coil: More affordable, making it a budget-friendly option.

    • Pocket Spring: Typically more expensive but offers superior comfort and durability.

Which One Should You Choose?
Budget-friendly, firmer feel - Open Coil
Better support, motion isolation, and longevity - Pocket Spring
Best for couples and joint pain relief - Pocket Spring

How well do open coil mattresses isolate motion?

Open coil mattresses typically have poor motion isolation compared to other mattress types. Because the springs are interconnected, movement on one side of the bed can easily travel across the surface, making it more noticeable when a partner shifts or moves.

Why Do Open Coil Mattresses Transfer Motion?
Connected Spring System: The springs are wired together, causing movement to spread across the mattress.
Less Independent Support: Unlike pocket springs, open coil springs do not compress individually, leading to more motion transfer.
More Bounce: The design naturally has more rebound, which amplifies movement.

Who Might Notice Motion Transfer the Most?
Light Sleepers: More prone to waking up from even slight movements.
Couples: If one partner tosses and turns, the other is likely to feel it.
Pet Owners: Pets moving around at night can be more noticeable on an open coil mattress.

How to Reduce Motion Transfer in an Open Coil Mattress
Choose a Mattress with a Thick Comfort Layer: Adding memory foam or latex layers can help absorb movement.
Use a Mattress Topper: A thick foam or gel topper can dampen motion and improve comfort.
Consider a Pocket Spring or Hybrid Mattress: If motion isolation is a priority, pocket springs or hybrid designs are a better option.

Do open coil mattresses provide good support for back pain?

Open coil mattresses can offer reasonable support for back pain, but they may not always be the ideal choice, depending on the sleeper’s specific needs.

Pros for Back Pain Relief
Firm Support: Open coil mattresses tend to be firmer, which can help maintain spinal alignment.
Budget-Friendly: They are more affordable compared to pocket spring or memory foam options.
Good for Young Sleepers or Guest Beds: Provides basic support for those without chronic pain issues.

Cons for Back Pain Relief
Less Targeted Support: Since the springs are interconnected, the mattress doesn’t conform to the body as effectively as memory foam or pocket springs.
Pressure Points: The lack of independent spring movement can create strain on the lower back.
Prone to Sagging: Over time, open coil mattresses may lose firmness, leading to poor spinal alignment.

Who Might Benefit from an Open Coil Mattress?
Back sleepers who prefer a firmer feel.
Individuals without severe or chronic back pain.
Those seeking an affordable, short-term mattress solution.

Better Alternatives for Back Pain

  • Pocket Spring Mattress: Provides zoned support and better contouring to the spine.

  • Memory Foam Mattress: Molds to the body, alleviating pressure points.

  • Hybrid Mattress: Combines pocket springs with foam layers for a balance of support and cushioning
