Classic upholstery

Newark

The Newark headboard has everything you need to create a cosy bedscape. Upholstered in soft brushed twill in your choice of three classic colours, the Newark is available in a size to suit every home – from sweet small singles to six-foot super kings.

Newark is the very definition of a classic headboard. It features struts for easy attachment to your divan or ottoman base, plus extra padding in the headboard to make a comfortable resting place.

Stamford

Stamford takes all the classy sophistication of the Newark headboard and adds an extra dash of style. With three pronounced horizontal lines to create a spacious bedroom vista, Stamford is available in your choice of five classic colours in our luxurious fabric.

Its gentle curves are wonderfully inviting, and its upholstery is underpinned by a solid pine frame so you can be kept in comfort for years to come.

Helvellyn

With all the sophistication of the Stamford, our Helvellyn Headboard features striking horizontal lines. This sleek design is perfect for drawing the eye up to create a light and spacious feeling in any bedroom, or highlight wall décor such as a statement print.

Helvellyn’s extensive colour and fabric options give plenty of versatility for a range of interior styles, with ample sizes to suit snug and spacious rooms alike.

Modern metal

Gladstone

This metal headboard is a regal-looking design with ornate scrolling details and matching finials.

Available in a classic bronze or contemporary rose gold finish, Gladstone is a full height headboard that completes a classic bedroom with an extra dose of sophistication.

Luxurious leather

Logan

A luxurious bonded leather headboard, our Logan headboard is padded so you can lounge comfortably between snoozes. It also features two handy USB ports either side so you can charge your devices.

The twin panel design (featured on double and king sizes) is paired with a softly curved finish, offset by rich dark chocolate brown leather that is wonderfully pleasing to the touch.
