About the Dreams Workshop Guest Divan Bed Base
Last checked
The key construction idea is a divan base with a pull-out underbed trundle, rather than a day bed frame with visible rails or a separate folding guest bed. The trundle lifts on folding legs to sit level with the main sleeping surface, so it can be used as two singles or pushed into a wider temporary arrangement, and the base sits on four feet rather than castors. The 20cm trundle limit is important. It keeps the lower mattress shallow enough to slide away, but it also rules out many deeper single mattresses that would be normal on a full-time bed. For a guest divan, that is an honest compromise: the design prioritises hidden storage of the second bed over the thicker mattress freedom found on fixed wooden bedsteads or higher-spec day beds. The brushed twill finish and colour choice put it above the plain contract-style spare-room base, but the engineering remains light-use guest furniture, not a heavy platform frame. The same-height trundle is the useful bit of the spec, because cheaper underbed designs often leave the lower bed noticeably lower, making them better as a child’s spare bed than as a joined adult sleeping surface.
The low-profile trundle format suits spare rooms, children’s rooms and homes that need a second sleeping space without permanently losing floor area, and positive reviews describe it as neat, good-looking and genuinely useful when friends, grandchildren or visiting family stay. Several buyers like the flexibility of using it as two separate singles or a wider guest set-up, and that matches the spec: a pull-out bed that rises to the main base height is more versatile than a simple roll-out drawer bed. Daily use is the weak spot. A recurring complaint is that the frame feels flimsy under ordinary family use, with reports of bowing, squeaking, broken trundle sections and middle support giving way; one longer-term account says it was fine at first but looked close to failure after two years as a child’s everyday bed. There is also a practical contradiction around floors: the description presents the feet as suitable for any flooring, yet lower-rated reviews mention scratches from the pull-out section, while recent complaints also flag marked fabric on delivery. The trundle height adjustment can be fiddly rather than seamless, and a standard top mattress may leave the base looking oversized in some set-ups. If the job is occasional overflow sleeping in a spare room, this format works. If it is for everyday use, heavier adults, or a main child’s bed expected to last years, a reinforced day-bed frame or sturdier guest-base tier makes more sense.

Made locally in the UK - British craftsmanship at its finest
Expertly crafted locally, this specification ensures exceptional quality and supports local industry. Buying products made in the UK often results in superior durability and reduced environmental impact due to shorter transportation distances.
Solid platform top base - offers sturdy mattress support
Expect a firmer, steadier feel with fewer dips, which can help a mattress keep its shape and feel consistent. Airflow under the bed may be lower than with slats, so heat and moisture can build up more in warm rooms or with foam mattresses.

This bed base is a great space saver and works perfectly as a guest bed. It's simple yet stylish design makes it a perfect addition to any room.
great bed very comfortable great for space saving and perfect for sleepover or when daughter is poorly
I bought this for our spare room and its been a fantastic addition. The pull-out trundle is very smooth to operate, and its a great way to turn a single room into a twin without taking up permanent floor space. The fabric finish looks premium and feels sturdy. Very happy with the quality for the price.
We bought the trundle bed especially for the “grandkids bedroom “ but it would also be used for friends visiting. The bed is a good size for children and adults and has now been utilised on several occasions. Both adults who used the main bed reported they had a good sleep and found the mattress comfortable. The girls did a sleepover and as the trundle bed was the same height also very comfortable they gave the beds two thumbs up!
The slide out bed making a double bed was perfect for our small spare room, perfect for staying guests . Thank you.
Love this Divan and so do my grandchildren! I only have one mattress at the moment and the children store their toys under the bed. Its great for the price and fits perfectly into Limited space.

Its good because of the bed under it its slidable And you can put storage in it and it is very useful
When reconfiguring my apartment in July 2019 the best value purchase I made was this divan base and trundle bed. Living the Dreams.
This bed is so nice looks great and its sturdy great for the price! The guest pull out bed is brilliant and just as sturdy very pleased with it!
Daughter loves it it's great for sleep overs it's very comfortable make sure you get a good mattress
We bought this to replace an existing guest bed which was rather old. Couldnt have made a better choice and the mattress is comfortable and value for money.
Really pleased as wanted a bed which didnt permanently take up a lot of room. Easy to pull out and make a double super king size
I purchased this bed for our 3rd small bedroom and it fits perfectly in the space. The roll out bed works very well and is one of the few Guest Divan beds that have both beds ending up at the same height. Arrived quickly and on time and very well priced.
So pleased with the value, appearance and practicality of this frame and trundle. Comes as one piece, had to remove packaging to get it upstairs
Bought this recently, used it within a week of arrival as single and then 2 single beds. Worked a treat and frees up space when not needed as 2 beds. Fits well into awkward space.
I bought two of the guest bed 3months for my kids bedroom and we are loving it more everyday as its makes the bedroom looks more specious. Would highly recommend
I bought this Divan base couple of weeks ago for my 13 year old son. He is pleased, it looks good and he can use the base underneath when his friends stay over. I'm not sure about the divan stand, it does not look very stable but as I said we only had it for a month so we will wait and see. Overall we are happy with it
I bought a classic guest divan base last month so that my twin grand children can stay the night. I was very impressed with how the guest divan base slides out from under the bed.When you slide out the guest divan base there are folding legs so it is off the floor.
The bed fulfilled our requirements our n terms of function and how it looks. It takes regular sized single mattresses and feels stable.
