Divan beds comprise a box base to provide luxurious support to the mattress, and can provide room for storage, with several drawer options. Choose either a deep divan base with storage, or a thinner base to give a fashionably low divan bed.
The divan base is not just an empty box. It contributes a major part of the feel of the bed, and is rightly called a \'foundation system\' in its own right. Choose a divan base carefully, as a quality base improves the life and performance of your mattress.

Marcelo González
: What you've just said is also a valid description of a "storage bed" (without the word "divan"). >Your last source, bedsdirect, seems to use the term "divan"as a synonym of "storage bed" (simply for stylistic purposes, in order to avoid repetition).

: yes, for me a divan has a full base, often with drawers, as opposed to a plain bed frame; I'd use divan or divan with drawers

Spanish term (edited):
canap�
sofa/couch - perhaps a sofa bed?
According to the Collins Spanish-English dictionary "canapé" is not a bed, but a sofa. If it's definitely a bed in your context then I would imagine that it is a sofa bed.

An outstanding addition to our exclusive Milton collection, this king size bed optimises every precious inch of space and furnishes a bedroom with calm, modern elegance. Finely crafted from solid ash, it has six roomy drawers to keep a welter of clothes, shoes, linens and possessions neatly stowed yet ever-accessible.

In this context, where there are drawers within the frame of the bed, this is it. Good luck!!

: 'divan storage bed' //'Divan' indicates the type of base the bed has (as 'canapé' does in Spanish) A 'divan bed' is a bed with a box base. The box base can have drawers in it.

Thank you, Michele. It appears that, given your definition, storage beds might be considered a type of divan (a box base with drawers). >Hello Michele. Why "divan"? How does this term clarify the concept? Is it the name of a brand/company?

jrb
: maybe, but I've never heard either of these phrasings, divan is the term familiar to me

Then you might consider just simply putting up an agree for Michele, and allowing for the possibility that it might have a different name in other countries. >Neither had I.
