About the Dream Team Lever Headboard
Last checked
For buyers trying to soften a divan without moving into wingback or hotel-height territory, the Dream Team Lever is the quieter kind of upholstered feature: quilted, padded and deliberately straight-lined rather than scrolled or button-heavy. The detailing stays fairly controlled. Its stitched face gives visual texture without the deep pulled-in buttons of a more traditional Chesterfield-style board, so it sits closer to a modern panelled headboard than a period piece. The fabric choice is mildly generous for a mainstream divan headboard: velveteen and textured weave give it a softer, more tactile register than the plain faux-leather and flat fabric panels common in entry divan ranges. Colour choice is part of the appeal, especially in the grey and richer tones mentioned in feedback, but the shape itself is restrained enough not to dominate a room scheme. The padded face also gives it a useful sit-up role for reading, because the comfort comes from upholstery and quilting rather than just a thin decorative panel bolted behind the pillows.
As a backrest on a divan, the Lever works best where the base is already part of the plan and the headboard is there to finish the bed visually as well as give a firmer cushion for sitting up. Praise clusters around the look, the colour finish and the sense of sturdiness, with several comments linking the padded construction to comfortable reading in bed; that matches the spec, because a quilted upholstered board should feel more supportive than a bare wooden or slim metal head end. Fitting is the weak spot. The divan-friendly positioning is contradicted by repeated complaints about attachment, including bolts arriving at the wrong length, awkward alignment and at least one recent note that installation was fiddly even when the end result was good. A more serious, less common durability warning concerns timber inside the frame failing, so the low scores are not just cosmetic grumbles. Velveteen will also need more careful dusting or gentle vacuuming than a wipe-clean faux leather board, while textured weave is usually more forgiving of small marks. It lands well in a modern divan setup where padded support and colour choice matter; awkward non-standard bases, or households unwilling to wrestle with fittings, are better matched with a floor-standing or wall-mounted headboard.

We were told in store that this didn't fit our sleepmotion 400i bed but as we liked this headboard that much, they said we could fit it to the wall which if you're fairly handy, isn't a problem. Looks great and glad we bought it!
