About the Staples and Co Divan Base On Glides
Last checked
Storage-hungry bedrooms are the obvious setting for the Staples and Co Divan Base On Glides, because the useful story here is the divan format, glided footing and storage choice rather than exposed frame engineering. A divan on glides is a conservative, honest construction class: compared with slatted bedsteads, it prioritises a neat block base and easy positioning over showy timber rails, sprung slats or visible metalwork. The glides are the practical detail. Feedback around assembly points to a two-part base that can be brought together without much drama, and the glides help when the bed is being nudged into its final position, although one longer account notes that adding a matching headboard makes the whole setup harder to shift. Storage appears to be the main composition decision, with accounts covering both lift-up ottoman space and drawer versions, including a four-drawer layout where the smaller drawers are easier to use beside bedside furniture. The upholstered finish is doing style work too: navy velvet and colour choice are mentioned positively, placing it closer to the tidy upholstered-divan register than the basic contract-base look, though there is no published heavy-duty frame or weight-cap detail to suggest reinforced engineering.
Where the room needs hidden storage without the footprint of a full bedstead, this base makes most sense, especially for couples who want a clean divan outline and drawers that can still open around bedside cabinets. Happier accounts repeatedly describe useful storage, smooth drawer action, an easy lift on ottoman versions and a smart upholstered look; that praise lines up with the format, because drawer and ottoman divans earn their keep in smaller bedrooms when wardrobes are already under pressure. Delivery condition is where confidence drops. Several low-scoring accounts involve bases arriving damaged, stained, broken or in the wrong colour, and one more serious account describes the structure failing when leaned on, so the better-looking finish is not the same thing as guaranteed arrival quality. For mattress pairing, a divan base like this suits a mattress that already has the comfort level the sleeper wants, rather than someone hoping sprung slats will add extra give, and the smoother movement on glides is useful before the headboard is attached. The Staples suits storage-led bedrooms where a neat upholstered divan and easy-moving base matter; those prioritising published strength ratings and heavier-duty construction should look instead at a higher-spec divan base with reinforced frame details.

Specifications
Manufacturer specifications without the jargon, easy to scan and compare.
10 year guarantee – for peace of mind
Guarantee paperwork gives you a route to claim when covered faults appear within 10 years, reducing the worry of buying something you can't fully judge on delivery. Wear, misuse and comfort preferences may sit outside its cover.
Quality Assured -Proudly handcrafted in our British Kite Mark accredited factory
Workshop checks cover frame joints, the fabric finish, plus glide positions, helping the base stay level beneath the mattress while looking tidier in the room. Checks don't prove how it will age at home.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Staples & Co. Premium Divan Base– The perfect complement to our Staples & Co ranges of mattresses
Matching fabric and proportions let the base line up visually with suitable mattresses, creating a neater bed outline in the room. Measure access and floor grip before ordering.
Finished with Luxury Glides with a silver finish– To ensure your base stays firmly in place
Small metal feet lift the underside off the floor, helping the bed feel steadier when you get in and out. They can mark delicate hard floors unless pads are added.
