How long has your bed lasted?

I have a divan with memory foam mattress which we bought 8 years ago. The mattress is absolutely fine but the divan base is creaky and the bottoms of the two drawers keep collapsing. It was about £700 in total when new. We have been looking around just for a bed frame and I saw a couple I liked in JL for about £400 so will be doing that.

The other thread on ikea sofas got me thinking. Our Ikea bed (which has had a good innings at around 7 years) has now given up the ghost. I'd like to get a divan type thing this time. The slats and things on the ikea one gave us some issues. How much should I be spending do you think? Just had a browse on Dreams and it ranges from around £200 to £2000! Is it really a matter of you get what you pay for?
