Specially designed for homes that are short on space but big on style, this Lift Storage Divan can be paired with any Heal’s headboard. The minimalist divan offers plenty of extra storage, without taking up valuable floor space. The divan has an easy-to-lift tilting base that reveals a concealed storage compartment - perfect for hiding away extra bedding and pillows. Each Lift Storage Divan is handcrafted in Lancashire by a family-run factory to the highest possible standard.
Our Stylist Says
I love this divan base for its blend of contemporary luxury and practicality. The Lift Storage version offers clever space for bedding or seasonal items, making it ideal for smaller bedrooms or those who prefer clutter-free spaces. The velvet finish lends a touch of sophistication, perfect for modern or luxe interiors, while the natural wood feet add warmth and a subtle nod to Scandi-inspired decor. Styling tips include pairing it with crisp, neutral bedding and minimalistic lighting for a clean look, or contrasting the velvet with textured cushions and throws in rich colours for a more opulent feel. It works well within both minimalist schemes and eclectic interiors, serving as a versatile foundation for various bedroom styles.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
