Why an Upholstered Headboard Changes Everything
A bedroom feels unfinished without the right focal point. An upholstered headboard fixes that in one simple step. It turns a plain bed into something stylish and comfy. Soft fabric against your back while you read. Beautiful curves or bold buttons that catch the eye the moment you walk in.
Our customers tell us the same story every week. They choose a fabric headboard and suddenly the whole room feels warmer. The upholstery adds texture that paint or wallpaper alone can’t match. Neutral walls pop against plush velvet. Patterned bedding finds its perfect partner in a striped or floral headboard.You spend a third of your life in bed. Make it lovely. A handmade upholstered bed headboard brings that hotel-luxury feel home every single night. And because every piece is finished by hand in the UK you know it will last for years.
Discover Our Best Selling Upholstered Headboards
Valletta Headboard – Timeless Winged Elegance
The Valletta brings drama without shouting. High wings curve round like a gentle hug and create a cosy corner for evening reading. Choose silver crushed velvet for a cool modern bedroom or warm mink plush for traditional charm.
This floor standing headboard rises 54 inches tall so it works beautifully with low divan bases or ottoman storage beds. The wings add width that makes even a standard king feel grand. Customers love how it transforms small rooms into boutique hotel suites overnight.
Boston Headboard – Deep Buttoned Chesterfield Charm
Nothing says chesterfield headboard quite like the Boston. Deep diamond buttons sink into thick foam and create that classic library look. Pick bottle green chenille for a gentlemen’s club vibe or soft grey plush for Scandi calm.
The buttons run all the way to the floor on the 54 inch version so your bed becomes the star of the room. Pair it with a matching ottoman and the bedroom feels fully dressed from every angle.
Imperial Headboard – Classic Floor Standing Statement
Straight lines and scroll arms give the Imperial its regal name. The wide top rail is perfect for leaning against with extra pillows. Go bold with navy wool or keep it timeless in cream naples.
At 48 inches or 54 inches tall this headboard suits higher mattresses and still leaves space for artwork above. The scroll arms soften the look so it works in both contemporary and traditional settings.
Buckingham Headboard – Luxe Diamond Button Detail
Diamonds really are a bedroom’s best friend. The Buckingham covers the entire front in perfect diamond buttoning with contrast piping that makes every line sharp. Silver plush with black piping looks incredible against white walls.
This headboard shapes a room instantly. Choose the floor standing version and watch your bed become a piece of art. Customers order extra scatter cushions in the same fabric to tie everything together.
Cambria Headboard – Modern Curved Silhouette
Soft curves make the Cambria feel friendly from the first glance. The gentle wave across the top brings movement to calm schemes. Teal crushed velvet glows in daylight and feels fresh every morning.
This shape works brilliantly in smaller bedrooms because the curve draws the eye up and makes ceilings feel higher. Add a striped headboard fabric for subtle pattern or keep it plain for peaceful nights.
Plain Headboard – Clean Lines, Endless Fabric Options
Sometimes simple is strongest. The Plain headboard gives you a blank canvas for any colour or texture. Go wild with bright floral patterns or stay elegant with linen weave.
Because there are no buttons or scrolls every detail of your chosen headboard fabric becomes the star. Order free samples and lay them on your duvet to see the perfect match before you decide.
Mystic Headboard – Subtle Scroll Design
Delicate double scrolls dance across the top of the Mystic. Not too much detail but just enough to add interest. Blush pink plush looks dreamy in teenage rooms while charcoal chenille suits moody master bedrooms.
The scrolls work with both divan bases and wooden bed frames so you can change your bed later and keep the same beautiful headboard.
Kingston Headboard – Contemporary Panelled Look
Three deep panels give the Kingston its modern edge. Vertical lines make rooms feel taller and the recessed panels add shadow play as light moves during the day.
Choose stone wool for understated luxury or racing green velvet for weekend lie ins that feel special. This headboard shapes suits floating beds or low platform styles perfectly.
Paris Headboard – Art-Deco Inspired Curves
Step back to the 1920s with gentle double curves and a dipped centre. The Paris headboard turns heads in champagne plush or emerald crushed velvet.
The shape flatters brass bed frames and works just as well with painted wooden ones. Add a sunburst mirror above and your bedroom becomes a mini palace every night.
Milano Headboard – Sleek Italian-Inspired Minimalism
Clean rectangle with softly rounded corners. The Milano proves less can be more. Black naples fabric creates drama while dove grey plush keeps everything calm and serene.
This headboard fits seamlessly behind floating shelves or artwork because nothing sticks out. Perfect for city apartments where every inch counts but style still matters.

Features That Make Our Fabric Headboards Stand Out
22 Luxury Fabrics Including Plush Velvet & Chenille
Walk into any showroom and the first thing people do is touch the samples. They run their hands over plush velvet and smile because it feels like a cloud. Then they feel crushed velvet and love the gentle shimmer when light hits it. Chenille comes next with its soft brushed finish that hides everyday marks brilliantly.
We keep 22 proper colours in every fabric so you never have to compromise. Mink plush warms up dark wooden floors. Silver crushed velvet makes white bedding glow. Bottle green chenille turns a spare room into a peaceful retreat. Order up to five free samples and lay them on your duvet at home. Natural daylight shows the true colour and you choose with confidence.
Floor-Standing or Strutted – You Decide
Some customers want their headboard to touch the carpet and stand proud like hotel furniture. Others prefer it to fix neatly to the bed with hidden struts so nothing shows below the mattress. We make both styles in every single design.
Floor standing versions come with elegant turned legs that hide the fixings completely. They look fabulous with divan bases or ottoman storage beds because the height fills the wall perfectly. Strutted versions sit 24 inches above the mattress and leave space for under bed drawers. You pick whatever suits your room and we craft it exactly that way.
Made-to-Measure for Every UK Bed Size
Standard bed sizes are never quite standard. One customer’s king is 5ft wide but their mattress sits higher than average. Another has a small double that measures 4ft 2in because it’s an old frame. We build every headboard to your exact numbers.
Tell us width across the top rail and height from floor to top. We adjust depth too so thick mattresses don’t push the headboard away from the wall. Single 3ft to super king 6ft and everything in between fits perfectly first time.
5-Year Frame Guarantee on Every Headboard
Our carpenters use solid hardwood for every frame and glue joints the old-fashioned way. Then we cover everything in thick foam and wadding before the fabric goes on. The result stays firm and straight for years.
We give a full 5 year frame guarantee because we know the quality inside each piece. Buttons stay tight. Fabric stays smooth. Legs never wobble. Sleep easy knowing your investment looks brand new long after the first night.
Real Bedrooms, Real 5-Star Reviews

Mike and Lisa picked Imperial floor standing in navy wool. “Turned our boring rental bedroom into something special. Neighbours keep asking where we got it.”
Rachel went for Cambria in teal crushed velvet. “My friend thought I’d had the whole room redecorated. Just the headboard made that much difference.”
