Low Base

Low Divan Bases in Ireland - Nearly 190 Options with Free Delivery

A low divan base sits closer to the ground than a standard platform base, creating a sleek, modern silhouette that gives the bedroom a more relaxed, contemporary feel. At Beds.ie, we stock nearly 190 low divan bases with free delivery across Ireland and Northern Ireland — a popular choice for anyone who prefers a lower sleeping height or wants their bed to look less imposing in the room.

Low bases typically measure around 20 to 25cm in height, compared to the 35 to 40cm of a standard divan base. The lower profile means your mattress sits closer to the floor, which changes the look and feel of the bed significantly. Combined with a deep mattress, the overall sleeping height is still comfortable for most people — you are simply removing the extra base height that some find unnecessary.

Sizes Available

We carry low bases in 2ft6 small single (75cm) with 32 options, 3ft single (90cm) with 32, 4ft small double (120cm) with 32, 4ft6 double (135cm) with 31, 5ft king-size (150cm) with 31, and 6ft super king-size (180cm) with 31. All come in a range of fabric finishes.

When a Low Base Works Best

Low bases pair particularly well with deep mattresses — if your mattress is 28cm or deeper, a standard-height base can make the overall bed height quite tall. A low base brings the sleeping surface back to a comfortable level. They also suit bedrooms with lower ceilings, loft conversions, and attic rooms where a tall bed can feel disproportionate to the space.

For younger children transitioning from a cot to a proper bed, a low base means less distance to the floor — providing peace of mind for parents worried about nighttime tumbles. And for anyone with mobility considerations where a very high bed is difficult to get into, a low base combined with a standard-depth mattress can hit the ideal entry height.

No Built-In Storage

Low bases do not include drawers or ottoman mechanisms — the reduced height does not leave room for internal storage. If storage is a priority, consider a standard-height base with drawers or an ottoman instead.
