About the Sealy Divan Base On Glides
Last checked
Stepping into the world of luxurious sleep, we set off to explore the Sealy Divan Base On Glides. A bed base that professes to offer not just style, but also practicality with keystone storage solutions. Crafted by Sealy, a reputable brand in the bedding industry, we investigated every nook and cranny of this piece. During our testing, we dove into the core of this product in-store, analysing the pros and cons with a sceptical eye. Although we didn’t take the base home, our hands-on testing at the store provided an ideal insight into how this base would fit into our bedrooms and lives. With this critical perspective, remember I am sharing my experience directly.
Design and Specs
The Sealy Divan Base instantly strikes a dapper figure with its modern and contemporary design. The base comes upholstered in a woven fabric, available in two tasteful shades – Sand or Slate, giving bedrooms a touch of class. A key highlight is the strong timber frame, offering a solid foundation that promises to sustain the life of your mattress. Reposing on the base, one can feel the firm endurance of the timber impeding movement.
Storage and Stability
Being spoilt for choice between an ottoman, non-drawer, 2 drawers, 2+2 drawers, or 4 drawers, the ability to tailor storage to one's needs is a standout feature. While we question the Accessible storage capability of the ottoman variant, customer feedback suggests its larger storage space does meet some users' needs. Among the array of customer reviews we'd surveyed, a commonly awarded accolade was the base's impressive sturdiness and form with silver glides. They provide both excellent stability and an aesthetic solidity to the base. However, not everything was rosy; glides, instead of castor wheels, can prove a challenge for those inclined towards regular furniture re-arrangements. Moving this base on a carpet can turn into a Herculean affair, making us question its practicality in day-to-day life.
The Drawbacks
For everything that shines in the Sealy Divan Base On Glides, there are a few pitfalls. During our in-store analysis, we noticed a small quality control issue and patch repair, a slight disappointment from a brand as reputable as Sealy. A seemingly less-than-ideal repair had been made that doesn't affect functionality though did dent the impression of an otherwise impressive piece, and left us wondering if other units might have similar issues. Also worth noting is that the drawers, while handy, may not be grand in size as some might expect. During our assessment, we felt the drawers could be a tad deeper to further enhance the product's utility.
Conclusion
Despite these minor setbacks, the overall impression of the Sealy Divan Base On Glides leans towards the positive. Most customers have lauded it, with praises about its robust structure, easy-to-assemble nature, and comfortable feel. The visual appeal of the base, combined with the discreet storage it provides, is a boon for modern compact living. This base delivers quality, functionality, and aesthetics in one neat package. If the limited mobility on the carpet and potential variation in craftsmanship can be overlooked, this base does seems to fulfil the sleep dreams we all long for.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Appreciated for its strong and sturdy construction, enhancing its longevity and providing a reliable support for your mattress.
- Offers a variety of storage solutions, with the choice ranging from 2, 2+2, and 4 drawer divan bases, or an ottoman base depending on your need.
- Equipped with sturdy silver glides, preventing unwanted movement and ensuring the base stays firmly in place.
- Upholstered in a modern, contemporary fabric available in two distinct colours – Sand and Slate, enhancing the aesthetic value in any bedroom.
- Comes with the assurance of a 5-year guarantee, instilling confidence in the quality, and assurance from the renowned brand of Sealy.
Cons
- Though the aesthetics and functionality are generally praised, a few customers found the divan base slightly challenging to manoeuvre on carpet due to the glides, but this could be a plus for those seeking a stationary solution.
- A small number of users reported slight movement of the mattress on the divan base, which could be mitigated by securing the mattress more firmly.
- While the storage in the drawers was commonly appreciated, a minor note was made by some about the size of the drawers compared to previous models, although the ability to access smaller drawers without moving bedside tables served as a compensating advantage.

Quality build with a modern look, providing vital extra storage. However, the glides make it somewhat difficult to move on carpet.
Very easy to put together, drawers are really handy, Delivery was early in the morning between 7-9am. We had to get up at 6 am to make sure we could get the old bed and mattress out in time. But the whole bed is fab
Very sturdy base and noticeable difference to our old one. For my own personal preference, I would have preferred the way of connecting the 2 bases by the side fixings, over the way this connects by central screws fixing one base to the other, a bit too fiddly for my liking. I am very happy otherwise.
The base is simple and does what it is supposed to. However, unfortunately when unpacking the bed there appeared to be a fault that had been created at manufacturing, which received a bodged repair. Whilst it can't be seen and doesn't affect the function of the bed, it is disappointing that the manufacturers own quality control thought it was acceptable, especially as the sales man used the reputable workmanship as a selling point.
Good base with 2 drawers which gide easily and at a good price plus a choice of colour and on castors so can move it easily
VERY PLEASED ARRIVED WELL WRAPPED & SUPER EASY TO ASSEMBLE. VERY SMART. EXCELLENT PURCHASE
Excellent base with plenty of storage. Goes very well with my brand new mattress
I like the colour of the base and the storage is excellent but I really don't like the glides. I didn't realise it was not on castors. It is extremely difficult to move on carpet.
Idealthe bed doesn't move unless we want to move itsits really nice on the carpet too
Looks good and drawers are very useful. Very useful storage space that is unseen but needed.
Brilliant bed , looked everywhere for the firm bed I need for my back , this extra firm is just perfect for me . I love it ,(* as does my granddaughter when she stays .) .. got a good deal for a superb bed .. definitely recommend sealy and gliders instead of castors
Good sturdy base and value for money, very supportive. Drawers open easily and plenty of room for storage,
This is a Brilliant bed very comfy. Wish we had bought it earlier. Totally recommend.
We opted for a base with 2 large and 2 smaller drawers which means that the small drawers are accessible without having to move the bedside tables which works very well. The drawers are not as big as on our previous base but we can manage with them.
Attractive looking bed with lots of space for storage
Well made and practical. I opted to self-assemble myself which was so easy. All required parts within storage bag , everything so well wrapped to protect against transport damage . Very happy with purchase
Oooooooooo
Solid good value base
I enjoy sleeping on it
