Divan Beds With Headboard

Divan Beds with Headboards in the UK | Midas Beds 

A bedroom can look “nearly finished” for months: the mattress is sorted, the bedding’s nice, but the whole space still feels a bit bare. That’s usually because the bed doesn’t have a proper focal point. A divan bed with headboard fixes that in one go—supportive base underneath, padded statement up top, and a cleaner footprint than most bulky bed frames.

This collection is for people who want their bedroom to feel calmer and more put-together without turning the purchase into a design project. Choose your size, pick a fabric that suits your space, add storage if you need it, and you’ve got a complete set-up that looks intentional from day one.

Why divans are still the UK favourite

Divan bases have stayed popular for a reason: they’re practical. A divan sits neatly under the mattress with a tidy edge, so the bed looks streamlined and the room feels less crowded. Add a headboard and suddenly it’s not just functional—it’s the centrepiece.

Unlike many traditional frames, a divan doesn’t waste space with big side rails. That’s a small detail that makes a big difference in tighter UK bedrooms, where you want the bed to fit well and still have room to move.

When a divan bed with headboard is the right move

You don’t need a “reason” to upgrade your bed, but these are the moments when a divan set really earns its keep:

• You’re redecorating and the room needs one strong feature to pull everything together.
  

• You’ve moved and the bedroom layout is different—divans are easier to fit neatly in new spaces.
  

• You’re furnishing a guest room and want it to feel like a proper bedroom, not a spare box room with a random mattress.
  

• You’ve outgrown your current bed (wobbly frame, creaks, or a headboard that never quite matched).
  

• You want optional storage without committing to an ottoman lift.
  

The big advantage: it looks “done”

A headboard changes how the whole room reads. It frames the bed, gives you a comfortable backrest for reading, and helps your bedding sit better (no more pillows sliding into the gap). In this collection you’ll find headboards that are designed to pair with the base, so the finish is cohesive rather than pieced together.

Many models in the range are built around a tall, floor-standing look (often around 52" / 132 cm on key designs), which gives that boutique-hotel presence without needing a huge room.

Headboard styles: what suits your room?

Floor-standing headboards (statement look)

If you like a bed that anchors the room, floor-standing headboards are the easy win. They sit tall and feel substantial, which works brilliantly with modern décor, feature walls, panelling, or oversized bedside lamps. They’re also a strong choice if you prefer a more “structured” look rather than something light and minimal.

Strutted headboards (simple, flexible)

Strutted headboards are the more understated option. They’re a great fit for smaller rooms, rented homes, or anyone who likes a clean, uncomplicated finish. You still get the comfort and style—just with a lighter visual footprint.

Winged headboards (cosy and high-end)

Winged styles add a little extra drama and a more cocooned feel. If your bedroom is your wind-down zone (book, tea, no notifications—ideally), a winged headboard makes the bed feel more like a place to relax, not just somewhere you crash.

Storage options: keep it practical (without overthinking it)

One of the reasons people choose a divan bed with a headboard is the freedom to tailor it. Some bedrooms don’t need storage at all. Others needed it yesterday.

Across this range you’ll see storage options like:

• No storage for the lightest, simplest base.
  

• 2 drawers (left, right, or end) for everyday essentials.
  

• 4 drawers for maximum use of the footprint.
  

A tip that saves hassle: think about where your bedside tables and wardrobes sit. Drawers are brilliant—unless they open straight into furniture. If you need “full access” storage and your room layout makes drawers awkward, it may be worth browsing our ottoman bed frame collection too (different style of storage, same space-saving mindset).

What makes Midas Beds a smarter buy

A bed is one of those purchases where you notice the quality every day—quiet support, solid build, and a finish that still looks good after the novelty wears off. Our divan sets are built with that in mind.

Here’s what you get with Midas Beds:

• Made in the UK / crafted in Britain across many designs in this collection, with a focus on long-lasting build quality.
  

• Over 40 fabric choices on key models, with curated fabric collections (so you can go classic, plush, textured, or something a bit bolder).
  

• Free fabric swatches on selected ranges—so you can match your room properly rather than guessing from a screen.
  

• 5-year warranty for peace of mind.
  

• Flexible payment options including Klarna on the site (handy if you’d rather spread the cost).
  

And if you want the full “sorted in a day” experience, you can add services like Professional Assembly and Bed Recycling on selected product pages. 

Sizes for real UK homes (from small single to super king)

This collection covers the sizes people actually buy—starting at 2'6 Small Single and running through to 6'0 Super King, depending on the model. 

If you’re unsure, measure two things before ordering:

1. The bedroom space (including bedside tables and door swings)
   

2. The access route—stairs, landings, tight turns
   

It’s not glamorous, but it prevents the classic “it fits in the room, but not through the hallway” problem.

The short list of benefits you’ll feel straight away

What customers usually notice first

• A more “finished” look—headboard + base feels complete, not pieced together
  

• A neater footprint (the bed sits cleanly in the room)
  

• Comfortable back support for reading, scrolling, or breakfast in bed
  

• Optional storage without adding extra furniture
  

• Easier styling: bedding sits better against a proper headboard
  

• A calmer bedroom, especially when you match fabric tones to your décor

Finish Your Bedroom Setup

If you’re planning the whole bedroom (or just want everything to match), these collection:

• Divan bed with mattress (for a simpler “one decision” bundle)
  

• Mattresses (pocket sprung, memory foam, hybrid—choose the feel you like)
  

• Zip and link beds with mattress (ideal for guest rooms and flexible spaces)
  

• Footboard beds with headboard (more traditional framed look)
  

• Ottoman bed frame (when you want maximum hidden storage)
  

• Headboards (if you’re mixing and matching)
  

A quick room check before you hit “buy”

Five minutes now saves a headache later

• Measure the wall width and leave space for bedside tables
  

• Check where drawers would open (if you’re choosing storage)
  

• Think about headboard height against your wall features (panelling, windowsills, radiators)
  

• Consider your mattress depth—deeper mattresses change the visible headboard proportion
  

• Measure tight access points: door frames, stairs, sharp hallway turns
  

• If you’re undecided on colour, order fabric swatches first and check them in daylight
