Headboards

Give your bed a distinctive finishing touch with headboards from Heavenly Beds in Cheltenham, serving Gloucestershire with UK-wide delivery.

A beautifully chosen headboard brings texture, colour and proportion to the room, whether you prefer clean upholstered panels, decorative buttoning or a more dramatic winged shape. It can refresh the look of an existing bed or complete a new bedroom scheme without every piece of furniture needing to match.

Browse the available fabrics, bed sizes and heights, and compare strutted and floor-standing designs for your chosen base. Think about how much of the headboard will show above the mattress, the wall space behind it and the finish of your bedside furniture. Our Cheltenham team can help you check fittings and explore additional sizing options on selected designs, making the practical details as considered as the style.

Choosing a strutted or floor-standing headboard

Strutted headboards bolt to the divan base on two legs and are held in place by the bed. Straightforward, and the standard option if you have a divan.

Floor standing headboards extend to the floor for a more substantial appearance. They still need the correct securing method specified by the manufacturer. Check compatibility with your base rather than relying on the bed's weight to hold the headboard in place.

Getting the height right

Consider the proportions of the bed, the height of the ceiling and any nearby windows or wall fittings. A taller design makes more of a statement, while a lower profile can create a simpler, lighter-looking arrangement.

Check whether the listed height is measured from the floor, the base or the bottom of the upholstered panel. The visible height above your mattress depends on the full bed setup. Share your measurements with our team to compare the options accurately.

Custom heights and widths

Additional heights or widths may be available on selected designs. Tell Heavenly Beds about any chimney breast, sloping ceiling or non-standard bed size, and we can check the available options before you order.

FAQ

Questions we get asked most

Open seven days.01452 260206
Will your headboard fit my bed?

Match the headboard width, attachment method and fixing positions to your bed base. Also check the height that will remain visible above your mattress. Send Heavenly Beds photographs of the base and its fittings, together with your measurements, so we can help check compatibility before you choose the final design.

Can I match the headboard to wall panels?

A coordinated fabric can connect the headboard and feature wall, while a contrasting texture creates a more layered look. Ask which finishes are available across both ranges and compare samples together. Ordering at the same time helps us check the combination, but an exact shade or production-batch match must be confirmed rather than assumed.

How is a floor standing headboard fixed?

Floor-standing describes the headboard's full-height design, not permission to leave it unsecured. Use the attachment method specified for the model, whether it connects to the base or requires a separate fixing system. Check compatible bolts or brackets before installation; simply trapping the headboard between the bed and wall is not a substitute.

Can you make one to an unusual size?

Additional widths or heights may be possible on selected designs. Share the measurements and a photograph of your bedroom with our Cheltenham team, including any low ceiling or chimney breast. Check the headboard's delivery route too: a bespoke size still needs to pass through doorways and stair turns. Availability and pricing are confirmed before ordering.
