Lewis Divan Bed Base, Timber Construction with Chrome Glide Castors

The Lewis Divan Base is the foundation product in the Ox Beds divan range. It is a base rather than a full set, which makes it the right choice when you already have mattresses in rotation, or when you want to pair a base with a headboard chosen separately.

It is handcrafted in the UK by skilled craftsmen from quality timber, and that construction is the reason people specify a divan base rather than a slatted frame. A timber divan gives even, full-surface support to a mattress, has no slats to shift or snap, and takes up less floor space than a frame with an overhanging footprint.

The base stands 13 inches high, rising to 15 inches when drawers are fitted, and runs on chrome glide castors so it can be moved for cleaning or repositioned in the room without lifting. Drawers are wooden rather than moulded plastic, which is a meaningful difference in a bed that is opened and closed daily for years.

All sizes are standard UK sizes, so mattresses, fitted sheets and headboards from any UK supplier will fit without adaptation. That matters if you are replacing a base within an existing room and want everything else to stay as it is.

Ox Beds manufactures in Yorkshire and supplies both individual customers and the contract trade, so the Lewis works as a single replacement in a family home or as a repeatable specification across a property with many rooms.

If you want a solid, unfussy base that will still be doing its job in ten years, this is the one to start with. Add a headboard from the Ox Beds range if you want to complete the look, or use it on its own for a low-profile finish.
