Does anyone know how to take the base of divan bed apart? Its too big to fit into loft bedroom.?

It is prob a machine fired staple or nail.

very difficult to get out and there will be lots of them, mostly the wood used in bed bases is not of a good standard so it makes breaking the wood a good possabilty.

So If it is like the divan bases it will be a wooden frame and covered in material. There may be screws - nails and glue and staples. There may be hardboard across the top and over the base. do not cut this.

Remove castors - claw hammer if they are a push fit type.


I would avoid takeing it apart as such and .

Think about cutting it in half - lentgh ways - you may have to cut thru 4 pieces of wood - but as you have the material off this will be easy to see.

Once you have both pieces up stairs - you can join them back together.

Do this by screwing a piece of wood over where you have cut - on both sides of the cut and make sure they are as long as poss.
But try and have these pieces of differant lenghts so as to spread the load. you can also put another piece on the underside.

If the wood you have is thicker than that of the bed frame you only have to match the levels at the top - so it does not affect the mattress.

You may also want to consider - what faceing there is on the hatch. maybe if it was removed the bed would go up - this would be maybe 1inch or 1 and half inches - but again this will take time to replace - chipped paint etc.
