Our Stylist Says
I love this divan base for its clean, versatile look and practical features. Its chain weave design adds a subtle texture that works well in both contemporary and classic interiors, especially when paired with upholstered or statement headboards. The built-in drawers provide valuable storage without disrupting the sleek silhouette, making it ideal for bedrooms where space is at a premium. The medium tension ensures comfort and support, suitable for a range of sleepers. Styling tips include layering with textured bedding and coordinating cushions in neutral tones or soft pastels for a calm, cohesive aesthetic. It’s particularly effective in minimalist, Scandinavian, or modern interior schemes where understated elegance is key.

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.
