Need a base for your new mattress? We take a look at Silentnight's reasonably-priced divan.
We think that the prices are competitive, but don’t forget to factor in the additional cost for a headboard. Silentnight doesn’t have as many sales as some of the newer mattress in a box companies but you can expect to see discounts around Black Friday. And, if you’re not as fussy on colour options, you will find other websites and shops selling Silentnight divans. Keep an eye on ourIf we compare the Silentnight to other divans, we can see that its prices are pretty low.
There’s absolutely nothing complicated about putting the Silentnight Divan Base together, but there are a few niggles along the way. As well as the two halves of the divan, you’ll also find eight feet , four bolts for the headboard and two clamps. These are vacuum-packed and stapled to the underside of the bed.Start by clearing space around the bed so that you can move the halves of the divan around easily.
Our main gripe with the divan though is the plastic clamps that secure the two halves together. They don’t feel particularly sturdy and, when you try to move the bed once they’re on, the two halves still tend to move slightly independently. We think it would help enormously if the clamps had pre-made slots to be clipped into and the whole thing would feel more secure if they were made from something slightly more resilient.
A divan base can also temporarily add a little more support to an older mattress, although the mattress will obviously need to be replaced eventually.
