Our John Ryan Contemporary bases are 13″ in depth plus 2″ for Shepherd Castors making them 15″ in total.
The platform top divan gives a solid consistent surface, especially suitable for Latex or Hybrid mattresses.
The drawers on the bases are 32″ wide, 20″ deep and 7″ high.
You can have 2 or 4 drawer options. If using bedside tables you may want to have 2 full size and 2 continental drawers so the drawers next to the bedside tables can be opened fully.
Continental drawers will have the same depth and height as the normal, but width will be 17.5 inches.

Our Contemporary Platform Bases offer a solid wood frame divan base suitable for all types of mattress. These platform tops will also be suitable to give a firmer feel to our Artisan range if you don’t want a sprung edge base.
We recommend Divan, platform top or sprung edge for all of our range. Slatted mattress, unless covered in some form of boarding, can cause the mattress to sag or damage the underside. Please get in touch if you have concerns.
Please note: Our bed bases and headboards are excluded from our Love it or Return it Guarantee unless faulty or damaged in which case we will replace.

Our timber frames are solid wood which is sourced from FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) approved sources making it a sustainable choice. These solid wood frames are then upholstered with 600GSM of Cotton Wool Upholstery to give a soft padded feel to them.
The platform top is again a wooden frame which is boarded giving a consistent robust divan surface for any mattress. These are all handmade here in the UK.
