Ascot Royal Divan Bed

The Ascot Royal Divan Bed is a properly built divan: a solid, enclosed base over a timber and engineered hardwood frame, fully upholstered in matching fabric from base to headboard with no gaps, no exposed frame elements, and no visual complexity that is not intentional. It sits flat to the floor on castors, keeping the profile low and the line clean. The headboard attaches directly to the base and is upholstered in the same fabric throughout, giving the Ascot Royal a unified, tailored appearance that is the result of the divan construction itself rather than of decoration applied on top of it.

The divan base is what makes the Ascot Royal a fundamentally different object from a legged bed frame. There are no legs, no exposed rails, and no gap between the exterior of the base and the floor. The sleeping surface is lower and wider than on a legged frame, which gives the room a more grounded, settled quality and makes getting in and out of bed easier. The mattress sits on a platform top or spring top that supports it evenly across the complete base surface rather than spanning the gaps between frame rails: the mattress wears more evenly over time and the sleeping surface stays consistent because the support underneath it is consistent.

Storage on the Ascot Royal is available in drawer and ottoman configurations across all sizes. The drawer options sit flush with the upholstered base exterior with no visible fixings or hardware: the drawers are part of the base, not added to it, and the exterior of the base reads the same with drawers as without them. The ottoman option uses a gas-lift mechanism to raise the full base top and mattress, revealing a full-depth storage compartment beneath. On the Ascot Royal the ottoman mechanism is as cleanly resolved as the drawer option: no visible mechanism, no exposed hardware, and a clean upholstered exterior that gives no indication of the storage function until the base is opened.

The fabric choice on the Ascot Royal is where the character of the bed is set. The divan construction is quiet and versatile by nature: it does not impose a silhouette on the room the way a winged or curved headboard does. The headboard is a clean, straight-topped upholstered panel that sits flat against the wall and takes its character from the fabric rather than from its shape. Plush Velvet gives the Ascot Royal richness and depth. Boucle gives it warmth and texture. Linoso gives it refinement and quiet. Marble gives it a contemporary, pared-back quality. The same base construction reads as a completely different bed depending on the fabric, and the 25 options across the range give the Ascot Royal the flexibility to suit almost any room and any aesthetic.

KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS

🔹 Solid Divan Construction Throughout

The Ascot Royal is built on a solid timber and engineered hardwood divan base with a fully upholstered exterior. The enclosed box construction sits flat on the floor on castors with the same considered finish on all four sides. No visible frame rails, no legs, no exposed elements. The divan base is the bed, and the headboard attaches directly to it.

🔹 Low, Grounded Profile

The divan construction sits closer to the floor than a legged bed frame, giving the room a more settled, grounded quality and making getting in and out of bed more comfortable. The low profile suits rooms with lower ceilings and gives even modestly sized rooms a more proportionate feel than a higher-set legged frame.

🔹 Even Mattress Support Across the Full Surface

The platform top of the Ascot Royal divan base supports the mattress evenly across the complete base surface rather than spanning the gaps between slats or frame rails. Consistent support across the full sleeping area means the mattress wears more evenly over time and the sleeping surface stays consistent because the base beneath it is consistent. Compatible with pocket sprung, memory foam, and hybrid mattresses.

🔹 Fully Upholstered Throughout in Matching Fabric

Every exterior surface of the Ascot Royal is upholstered in your chosen fabric: the headboard face, headboard sides, base sides, base front, and base back where visible. The headboard and base are upholstered in the same fabric throughout with no mismatched materials, no unfinished backs, and no visible fixings from any angle.

🔹 Over 25 Fabric & Colour Options

The Ascot Royal is available in over 25 colours and textures across Plush Velvet, Naples, Boucle, Linoso, and Marble. The divan construction is versatile enough to carry any of these well: the headboard takes its character from the fabric rather than from its shape. Fabric samples available on request.

🔹 Flush-Fitted Drawer Storage

Drawer storage is available in two and four drawer configurations with a choice of opening side. The drawers sit flush with the upholstered base exterior with no visible fixings, no protruding hardware, and no interruption to the clean line of the base exterior. Two drawers left, right, or one per side. Four drawers across both sides for maximum everyday storage.

🔹 Ottoman Gas-Lift Storage

Ottoman storage is available on double, king, and super king in end-opening and side-opening configurations. The gas-lift mechanism raises the full base top and mattress as a single unit, revealing a full-depth storage compartment that spans the complete internal footprint of the base. No drawers, no dividers, no frame elements reducing usable space. The gas pistons counterbalance the weight so the lift is effortless and the base holds open independently.

🔹 Cleanly Lined Ottoman Interior

The interior of the Ascot Royal ottoman base is cleanly lined throughout with no raw timber surfaces, no exposed frame elements, and no unfinished edges. Everything stored inside is protected from dust and from contact with any unfinished surface. The storage compartment is as considered on the inside as the Ascot Royal is on the outside.

🔹 Clean Straight-Topped Headboard

The Ascot Royal headboard is a clean, straight-topped upholstered panel that sits flat against the wall. No wings, no curves, no decorative elements that impose a specific aesthetic. The headboard takes its character entirely from the fabric and colour chosen, which is what makes the Ascot Royal the most versatile bed in the Macba Beds divan range: the same construction reads completely differently depending on the fabric.

🔹 All Standard UK Sizes

Available from single through to super king. Every size cut to standard UK mattress dimensions. The Ascot Royal is the only bed in the Macba Beds divan range available in all five standard UK sizes including single and small double.

🔹 5-Year Warranty

Every Ascot Royal is backed by a 5-year warranty covering the frame, headboard, and any storage components against manufacturing defects. If anything is not right due to a fault in materials or workmanship, Macba Beds will repair or replace it.

STORAGE OPTIONS IN DETAIL

FABRIC GUIDE FOR THE ASCOT ROYAL

The divan construction of the Ascot Royal means the fabric does more work than in most beds: there is no headboard shape imposing a character on the room, so the fabric and colour are where the entire personality of the bed comes from. This guide covers how each fabric range reads on the Ascot Royal specifically:

Fabric samples are available on request. Strongly recommended for Plush Velvet before ordering: the colour reads differently in different light conditions and in different rooms.

DIVAN vs BED FRAME  WHICH IS RIGHT FOR YOU

Use this as an editorial or expandable comparison section to help buyers decide between the Ascot Royal divan and the bed frame range:

DELIVERY & ASSEMBLY

Delivery

Free tracked delivery is included on every order to mainland UK addresses. No minimum spend, no hidden charges at checkout. You will receive a tracking reference by email as soon as your order is dispatched. Deliveries to the Scottish Highlands, Northern Ireland, and some remote postcodes may take a little longer. Contact the Macba Beds team before ordering if you need to confirm timescales for your area.

Assembly

The Ascot Royal Divan Bed arrives in clearly numbered components. The divan base sections bolt together and the headboard attaches directly to the base: a straightforward build that most customers complete in under an hour. All fixings and an Allen key are included. Drawer storage units slot into the base as part of the same build with no additional fixings. Ottoman mechanisms are pre-installed within the base sections and require no on-site assembly. The Macba Beds team is available by phone or email if you need any assistance.

After Assembly

On ottoman models, test the gas-lift mechanism before placing the mattress. Lift the base top from the specified end or side and confirm it raises smoothly and holds open independently. The mechanism should operate without significant effort and should not drop suddenly when released. Contact the Macba Beds team before placing the mattress if the mechanism does not operate correctly.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Upholstery

Use a soft upholstery brush or vacuum on a low setting for everyday cleaning. For spills, blot immediately with a clean dry cloth without rubbing. For marks, spot clean with a lightly damp cloth and a small amount of mild fabric cleaner and leave to air dry away from direct heat. Do not use a steam cleaner on any fabric in the range. For Plush Velvet, run a soft brush over the pile in the direction of the nap after cleaning to restore the depth and colour. Keep the Ascot Royal away from prolonged direct sunlight to prevent uneven fading.

Drawers

The drawer runners on the Ascot Royal are designed for smooth everyday operation. If the drawers stiffen over time, apply a small amount of candle wax or dry lubricant along the runner tracks to restore smooth movement. Do not overload the drawers beyond a comfortable lift: the runners are built for everyday bedroom storage, not for heavy or concentrated loads.

Ottoman Mechanism

The gas-lift mechanism requires no routine maintenance. If the lift begins to feel heavier over time, check that the interior of the ottoman base is not packed with items pressing against the underside of the base top. If the mechanism loses holding strength and no longer keeps the base open independently, contact the Macba Beds team: this is covered under the 5-year warranty.

Frame & Fixings

Check and tighten all fixings every few weeks during the first month of use and every few months thereafter. Pay particular attention to the base section joins and the headboard attachment points. On ottoman models, the gas-lift mechanism generates movement forces at the hinge points: keeping the base joins firmly tightened maintains the correct alignment of the mechanism during use.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

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

A: A divan bed is a solid, enclosed box base that sits directly on the floor on castors, with no legs and no exposed frame rails. A bed frame has legs and visible frame elements that hold the base above the floor. The divan sits lower, has a more grounded profile, and allows storage to be built into the base more efficiently. The mattress sits on a platform top that supports it across the complete base surface rather than spanning between frame rails. On the Ascot Royal, the headboard attaches directly to the divan base and everything is upholstered in the same fabric throughout.

Q: Which storage option should I choose?

A: Start with how you will use the storage. Drawers suit everyday items you need to access regularly: folded clothes, bedding sets, smaller bedroom items. They pull out from the side and need clear floor space on the relevant side for full extension. Ottoman storage suits bulkier items you access less frequently: duvets, pillows, suitcases, seasonal clothing. The ottoman reveals the entire floor area of the base in a single lift and needs clearance at the foot or one side depending on the opening direction. If your room has the foot of the bed against a wall, side-opening ottoman or side drawers are the right configuration. If you need both types of storage the four-drawer option gives maximum drawer capacity within the base footprint.

Q: Can I choose any fabric?

A: Yes. The Ascot Royal is available in over 25 colours and textures across Plush Velvet, Naples, Boucle, Linoso, and Marble. The headboard and base are upholstered in the same fabric throughout. Fabric samples are available on request and are recommended before ordering, particularly for Plush Velvet where the colour reads differently in different light conditions.

Q: Is ottoman storage available on all sizes?

A: Ottoman storage is available on double, king, and super king only. Single and small double sizes are available with drawer storage or no storage. All drawer configurations are available across all five sizes.

Q: How do I choose between end-opening and side-opening ottoman?

A: End opening lifts from the foot of the bed and requires clear floor space at the foot end. Side opening lifts from one side and requires clear floor space on that side, with no clearance needed at the foot. If the foot of your bed is against a wall or in an alcove, side opening is the right choice. If the sides of the bed are close to walls or bedside furniture, end opening is better. Measure the available clearance on each side before specifying.

Q: Does the Ascot Royal come with a mattress?

A: No. The Ascot Royal is sold as divan base and headboard only. The platform top base is compatible with all standard UK mattress types including pocket sprung, memory foam, and hybrid. Mattresses are available separately in the Macba Beds range.

Q: How long does assembly take?

A: Most customers complete the full build in under an hour. The base sections bolt together, the headboard attaches to the base, and drawer or ottoman storage components are included and assemble as part of the base build. All fixings and an Allen key are included. The Macba Beds team is available by phone or email if assistance is needed.

Q: What is the 100-day free trial?

A: Every Ascot Royal Divan Bed comes with a 100-day free trial from the date of delivery. Over three months to sleep on it and live with it in your home before making your final decision. If it is not right within that period, contact the Macba Beds team and they will guide you through the next steps.

Q: What does the 5-year warranty cover?

A: The 5-year warranty covers the frame, headboard, and storage components against manufacturing defects. This includes the drawer runners and gas-lift ottoman mechanism. If anything is not right due to a fault in materials or workmanship within five years, Macba Beds will repair or replace it. Contact the team with your order number to make a claim.

Q: Is delivery really free?

A: Yes. Free tracked delivery is included on every Ascot Royal order to mainland UK addresses with no minimum spend and no charges at checkout. You will receive a tracking link by email once dispatched. For remote postcodes including the Scottish Highlands and Northern Ireland, contact the team before ordering to confirm lead times.
