A divan is a piece of couch-like sitting furniture or, in some regions, a box-spring-based bed. Primarily, in West Asia (especially the Ottoman Empire), a divan was a long seat formed of a mattress laid against the side of the room, upon the floor, or a raised structure or frame, with cushions to lean against.
