Aurora Panel Divan Bed

The Aurora Panel Divan Bed is the epitome of minimal elegance, a bed that blends sophistication and simplicity in equal measure. Its upholstered panelled headboard brings a clean, architectural sense of luxury to the room, while its solid divan base delivers dependable support and the option of genuinely useful storage underneath. It is the kind of bed that looks considered and expensive without trying too hard, and settles just as naturally into a contemporary scheme as it does a classic one.

The panelled headboard is the signature of the Aurora. Rather than a single flat expanse, the headboard is divided into neat upholstered panels that create soft vertical lines and a subtle sense of structure, the kind of tailored detail that reads as quietly high-end. It is generously padded, comfortable to lean against while you read or relax, and finished to the same standard across every panel for a smart, cohesive look that anchors the head of the bed beautifully.

Beneath the mattress, the Aurora is a true divan. In place of an open slatted frame, it uses a solid, supportive divan base that keeps your mattress stable and evenly supported for a quiet, uninterrupted night's sleep. That solid base is also what makes the storage so effective, choose from a clean no-storage base, built-in drawers that slide neatly into the body of the bed, or a gas-lift ottoman base that lifts to reveal a deep compartment beneath the whole mattress. Whichever you choose, the storage is hidden and does not affect the Aurora's polished silhouette.

Handcrafted in the UK from quality materials, the Aurora is built to stay firm, stable, and quiet through years of daily use. It is available in all standard UK sizes and across a wide range of premium fabrics and colours, from soft, understated neutrals to richer, more characterful tones, so you can match it precisely to your room.

Every Aurora Panel Divan Bed comes with a 100-day free trial and a 5-year warranty, refined design and smart storage backed by long-term cover.

Planning note: if you choose drawers, allow clearance at the side you select so they can open fully; if you choose the gas-lift ottoman base, allow clearance above and in front of the bed for it to lift. The floor footprint matches a standard divan of the equivalent size. Larger sizes arrive as two halves for easier movement through your home. All sizes accept standard UK mattresses. Mattress sold separately.

Delivery

Free tracked delivery is included on every order within the UK, no minimum spend, no hidden charges. You will receive a text and email with a tracking link and time slot ahead of your delivery date.

Assembly

The Aurora is straightforward to set up, the only tool you need is a screwdriver. Single divan bases arrive as one whole unit, while small double, double, king, and super king bases arrive in two halves, which makes them much easier to carry through doorways, up stairs, and around tight corners. The two halves connect together and the panelled headboard attaches separately during assembly. If you have chosen drawers they simply slide into the base, and if you have chosen the gas-lift ottoman base the mechanism arrives ready-fitted. Everything you need is included, and the Macba Beds team is available by phone or email if you need a hand at any point.

Q: What makes it a panel bed?

A: The Aurora's headboard is divided into individual upholstered panels rather than being a single flat surface. Those panels create clean vertical lines and a subtle architectural structure that gives the bed a tailored, quietly high-end look. It is the design detail that sets the Aurora apart and lets it work beautifully in both modern and classic rooms.

Q: What is a divan bed, and how is it different from a frame?

A: A divan is an upholstered bed built on a solid, fabric-covered base rather than an open frame with legs and slats. The Aurora uses solid base supports in place of traditional slats, which gives the mattress firm, even, uninterrupted support and a very stable feel, and it is what allows the base to hold built-in storage so neatly.

Q: What storage options are available?

A: You can choose the configuration that suits you: a clean base with no storage, built-in drawers that slide into the body of the bed for easy everyday access, or a gas-lift ottoman base that lifts to reveal a deep compartment beneath the whole mattress for maximum capacity. Whichever you pick, the storage stays hidden and does not affect the Aurora's polished look.

Q: Does it have slats?

A: No. Unlike a slatted frame, the Aurora uses a solid divan support system that replaces slats entirely, giving consistent support right across the mattress with no gaps, and creating the sealed base that houses the storage.

Q: What fabrics and colours is it available in?

A: The Aurora is offered across a wide range of premium fabrics and colours, from soft neutrals to richer, more characterful tones. Fabric samples are available on request so you can compare shades in your own room before ordering.

Q: Will it fit a standard UK mattress?

A: Yes. Every size of the Aurora is made to standard UK mattress dimensions, so your mattress will sit correctly on the base with no gaps. The divan works with all standard UK mattress types, including pocket sprung, orthopaedic, and memory foam.

Q: Does it come with a mattress?

A: The Aurora is sold as a divan base and headboard. You can add one of our mattresses as a bundle at checkout, often at a better combined price, or pair it with a mattress of your own. The Macba Beds team can help if you are unsure which to choose.

Q: How much room do I need around the bed?

A: The floor footprint is the same as a standard divan of the equivalent size. If you choose drawers, leave space at the relevant side for them to open; if you choose the ottoman base, allow clearance above and in front of the bed for it to lift.

Q: How long does delivery take and is it free?

A: Yes, delivery is free across the UK. You will receive a text and email with a tracking link and time slot before your delivery arrives. For remote postcodes, contact the Macba Beds team before ordering to confirm timescales.

Q: How hard is it to assemble?

A: Straightforward, and the only tool you need is a screwdriver. Larger sizes arrive in two halves that connect together, the headboard attaches separately, drawers slide in, and the ottoman mechanism (if chosen) arrives ready-fitted. Everything you need is included, and the Macba Beds team is on hand if you get stuck.

Q: Does the base creak?

A: Not when assembled correctly. The solid divan base and quality construction keep the bed stable and quiet in normal use. Make sure all fixings are fully tightened during assembly and checked again after the first couple of weeks.

Q: What are the trial and warranty terms?

A: Every Aurora Panel Divan Bed comes with a 100-day free trial and a 5-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, including the structure, mattress support, and any storage mechanism. If anything is not right, contact the Macba Beds team with your order number and they will put it right.
