About the Staples and Co Divan Base On Castors
Last checked
Anyone considering this Staples base is looking at a divan rather than a decorative slatted bedstead, so the build promise is simple: a boxed platform, castors underneath, and storage depending on the version ordered. This is a practical, low-drama frame. A divan-on-castors spec is conservative for the bed-frame category; compared with wooden or metal bedsteads, it gives up visible frame styling and sprung-slat flex in exchange for a flatter support surface and easier movement for cleaning or repositioning. The castors are the meaningful construction detail here, because they make a larger base less awkward to shift than a static drawer divan, although they also put more importance on floor type and wheel stability than a glider-foot model. Storage is the other repeated theme in real-world accounts: happier buyers describe smooth drawers, flush fronts without protruding handles, and useful space for bedding and clothes. One detailed low-scoring account, however, describes the storage floor flexing under modest pressure, which is a clear warning against treating the compartment like a heavy-duty luggage store. That is an honest divan limitation rather than an ottoman-level storage build.
People who want a tidy, upholstered-looking base with easier mobility appear to be the strongest match, especially where under-bed access and drawer storage matter more than a showpiece frame. Multiple accounts describe the base as smart in the room, easy to move on castors, and paired successfully with a matching headboard, while one recent account found the height particularly helpful for an older sleeper getting in and out of bed. The height will not suit every room. Another buyer found it higher than expected, so this is one to think about if an existing mattress is already deep or bedside tables sit low. Assembly feedback is mixed rather than uniformly reassuring: some found it straightforward, including solo assembly, while a detailed complaint about a gas-lift storage version describes awkward piston fitting, unclear alignment instructions and a weaker storage floor than expected. Low-scoring feedback also raises fulfilment and aftercare frustrations, including damage, order problems and poor post-sale handling, so the product experience is not judged only on the base itself. Suited to bedrooms needing a smart divan with mobile castors, neat drawers and everyday bedding storage. Less good for heavy-storage users or anyone wanting a reinforced lift-up compartment, who would do better with a higher-spec ottoman divan tier.

Staples & Co. Premium Divan Base– The perfect complement to our Staples & Co mattresses
Solid platform construction spreads the mattress across an even surface, reducing slat gaps and keeping movement steadier across the bed during turns. Boxed divans take more room on stairs and tight landings.
Wide choice of colours– Choose from different neutral tones or something brighter for a pop of colour
Fabric colour changes the headboard's presence, letting it sit quietly against bedding or become the main visible panel behind the pillows. Strong shades can date faster than plain fabric.
Hand upholstered in a choice of 23 Premium Upholstery Fabrics–A choice of textures and styles from velvet look, warm faux leather, linen look and more
Fabric panels wrap the base, letting the sides sit with curtains and headboards while hiding the plain timber beneath. Textured cloth can catch lint, and faux leather can show scratches.
New green polythene packaging -A mixture of natural and recycled renewable sources
Outer wrapping shields the base from dust and scuffs during transport, while some non virgin content cuts fresh plastic use. Polythene remains plastic, and kerbside recycling rules vary.
Extra storage options available–A choice of drawers or an Ottoman base
Drawers pull out from the base for spare bedding and clothes. Rooms with tight side access suit a lift-up base better, though the lid can be awkward once a heavy mattress is on top.
Strong, Sturdy Timber Frame –Sourced from responsibly managed forests
Wooden rails and corner blocks hold the base square, cutting down on wobble when you get in or turn over. Forest origin says little about comfort, and glides can mark soft floors.
Finished with Luxury Orbit Castors with a nickel finish– To easily move and position your bed
Small wheels under the base let it roll for cleaning or rearranging furniture, making a heavy bed less awkward to reposition. Hard floors may need castor cups to stop creeping.
Quality Assured-Proudly handcrafted in our British Kite Mark accredited factory
Factory checks keep the hinges and fabric edges to a set process, giving you a lid that opens squarely with tidier upholstery around it. It doesn't prove the lid's load limit.

My 85 year old father is overjoyed with his new mattress and base combo. We had a wonderful pair of delivery guys and construction of the base was really easy. Dad's getting a great night sleep now and the height was perfect to get in and out of bed for him.
Comfortable so far. Higher from floor than expected.
Great bed with great storage with headboard to match. Looks great in my room.
Easy to assemble but you do need 2 people. Beautiful velour finish on the outer.
