About the Dream Team Malham Headboard
Last checked
Deep panelling and a framed upholstered border define the Malham more than any structural specification. Offered in soft velveteen or a textured weave, with richer colour options doing much of the visual work, it sits above a plain slab headboard in decorative intent but below the more architectural wingback and oversized boutique-hotel boards in the higher upholstered tier. The look is decorative rather than minimal. The manufacturer presents it as a divan companion, and the feedback around fitting also points that way, so its role is to soften the wall line, add fabric colour and create a padded backrest rather than complete a freestanding bed frame. In practical terms, the deep vertical panels give the front more shadow and shape than a flat fabric board, especially in velvet, though that same surface will show folds, pressure marks or imperfect upholstery more readily than plainer timber. It is a dressed divan board.
Soft upholstery is the functional reason to consider the Malham, particularly for a divan owner who sits up to read or wants a warmer backrest than a wooden or metal board. Positive reviews repeatedly describe it as good-looking, solid in normal use and supportive enough behind the shoulders, with one recent owner specifically linking the taller, padded feel to less discomfort when sitting up in the morning. The blue velvet finish also attracts favourable comments for colour and softness, which lines up with the spec’s emphasis on velveteen and textured fabric rather than wipe-clean faux leather or timber. Installation is the weak spot. One detailed account describes a non-adjustable fit that leaves the board sitting on the floor, making bed movement and vacuuming awkward because pressure is taken through the fixing points, while another says paid installation was abandoned and the headboard only performed properly once fitted independently. Lower-rated reviews also raise finish and value concerns: marks and fabric folds appear in one case, and another buyer felt the construction did not justify the £120 outlay, treating it as fabric over MDF rather than premium furniture. For a divan owner wanting a soft, decorative reading backrest, this is the right call. For renters, frequent furniture-movers or anyone needing height adjustment, look at adjustable strutted or wall-mounted headboards instead.

Great comfy headboard with a sleek design. Material quality definitely adds a stylish touch to my bedroom.
Ver.well made first class material,looks very nice
Having this lovely soft tall headboard has changed my life - I can sit up against it in the morning without being either cold or in pain. And its a beautiful colour.
The Dreams team were very helpful. My husband and I like different types of mattresses but with their help we have finally got a really comfortable mattress that suits us both.
Really well made headboard. The colour is fab and the material lovely.
Beautiful colour. Good quality headboard. Goes well with ottoman base of same colour.
Great service from start to finish, so nice to sleep in a comfortable bed and the storage under bed is great. Happy customer
Comfortable and stylish with a quality finish. Delivered promptly, easy to position and assemble the rest of the bed around it.
It's very classy and comfortable. We love using our new dream bed with the headboard
I've had this about 3 months now and its great! Was easy to fit, it's study and the colour goes with anything. I purchased the super king and I'm really pleased with it.
Lovely headboard. Goes with the bed nicely. First time having a headboard with a bed and I must say I am so impressed with the quality of the headboard that came with the bed I purchased and it is in a lovely color and material.
Nice colour and texture material, good height and padding. If it were to be improved I'd like the padding to go all the way to the edge to give it a more luxurious feel.
All credit to Mark at Dreams, Llanelli. Very patient in helping us to find the correct bed for us, after we'd made a complicated and expensive purchase with another manufacturer.
Nice looking headboard,really functional and built well
Excellent headboard. Professional and excellent quality.
A lovely neutral coloured headboard but with a little bit of design interest. Perfect if you want understated and are not a huge fan of buttoned headboards.
Its a good if heavy headbord. But it meeds led lughts on the edge
Looks very stylish and ageless, material good quality
Love this but one niggle- the height is not adjustable so the board sits on the floor, making it difficult to move the bed as it stresses the board at the fixture points, should have had a slotted /slider fitting to allow the board to be set higher , clearing the floor, it's already mad a 'crack' sound when imo the d it to vac under bed and, only had it a month!
The quality it excellent i love the colour and its so soft
