FAQs
What is a platform-top divan base?
A platform-top divan base features a solid or tightly upholstered surface, providing a firm and even foundation for your mattress, unlike sprung or slatted bases.
How do I assemble the Sloomy Ashford Divan Base?
The base requires some assembly, including attaching the gliders, headboard, and footboard. All necessary bolts and fixings are typically included.
Can I use my existing headboard with this divan base?
This divan base comes with its own 26-inch strutted headboard and 12-inch footboard. While it may have standard fixing points, compatibility with other headboards is not guaranteed and depends on the design.
What are the dimensions of the drawers?
The exact dimensions of the drawers are not specified, but they are designed to be fully lined and glide smoothly on metal runners for practical storage.
Is this divan base available in other colours or sizes?
This product guide specifically covers the Dark Grey variant. Other fabric and finish options, as well as sizes, may be available from the manufacturer.
How much weight can the divan base support?
The product information does not specify a weight limit, but the handcrafted construction and platform top are designed for standard mattress and user weights.
Does the base come with a mattress?
No, this product is for the divan base, headboard, and footboard only. A mattress must be purchased separately.
Troubleshooting
Divan base feels unstable
Ensure all bolts and fixings are tightened securely. If the headboard is strutted, confirm it is properly attached to the wall for optimal stability.
Drawers are stiff or not gliding smoothly
Check for any obstructions within the drawer runners. Ensure the divan base is on a level surface. If necessary, lightly lubricate the metal runners with a silicone-based spray.
Headboard wobbles
Verify that the headboard bolts are fully tightened. For strutted headboards, ensure it is securely fixed to the wall using appropriate wall fixings (not always supplied).
Floor scratches from gliders
Ensure the chrome gliders are clean and free of debris. If the floor is particularly sensitive, consider using additional floor protectors under the gliders.
