Are you moving to a small apartment? Wish you didn't need to give up your king size bed? Well then, you should definitely read this article. It will show you that you don't need to give up the comfort of a king sized bed when downsizing to a smaller room. Cut out a dresser and add the drawers into your bed by purchasing a king size divan bed for your new apartment.

Okay, how do you 'cut out a dresser and add the drawers into your bed'? That makes absolutely no sense until you understand the essence of a divan bed. A divan bed actually has drawer space beneath the bed! This is achieved by sitting the bed on a box like frame as opposed to a traditional frame that sits up off the ground. The box like frame extends almost the whole way down to the ground. Within the box there typically sits 2 free drawers that come with the purchase of a divan bed. If you should like to have more drawers, this can be achieved by paying a slightly higher price for the bed. You can even arrange the drawers in whatever manner best fits into your new apartment!

If you have never seen a bed with a box like frame, simply do a quick internet search for a picture. You will find that divan beds are actually quite beautiful. Many times the mattress and the box like frame beneath it are covered in the same matching cloth. This provides an elegant looking bed that actually doubles as a dresser. Other times the box like frame is covered with a material so as to match the headboard and contrast with the mattress. Depending on what look you are going for you are sure to find it in a king size divan bed for your new apartment. Divan beds can look elegant, modern, or homey. The style you purchase is dependant entirely upon your personal taste.

While you are out shopping for a beautiful and efficient new king size divan bed, keep an eye out for the type of spring system within your bed. Because divan beds do not have a box spring like a traditional bed, they have a spring system embedded within the bed in order to provide the support your body needs in order to get a good night sleep again and again. The complexity of the spring system has a large bearing on the price of the bed. You can get a good night sleep without forking out the price of the high-end spring systems such as the beds with hand nested pocket springs. However, if you go with the cheapest system, the open coil 13 gauge spring unit, you may find yourself wishing you had paid more. Take some time to test the comfort and support level of the various spring systems before making your purchase.

If you want a bigger bed and more dresser space, you need to get yourself a king size divan bed. This bed will provide you storage space in the form of drawers under the bed. It will also provide you with a large enough bed to fit your needs.
