About the Staples and Co Bayswater Floorstanding Headboard
Last checked
As the visual anchor behind a divan, the Staples & Co Bayswater is defined by its floorstanding build rather than by a slim bolt-on profile. The mounting choice is the main specification. Floorstanding headboards usually sit to the floor and bolt through the bed base, so they look more integrated and furniture-like than lightweight strutted boards; that is a more substantial construction class, although it brings greater room presence and less quick repositioning than a simple strut-mounted alternative. The practical read rests on format and owner descriptions: this is talked about as a grand, classy, well-made headboard, not a low, disappearing panel. The language around good material quality and pairing with the matching ottoman points towards a coordinated upholstered bedroom look, while the comfort comment about the board being slightly angled is more useful than a generic padded-headboard claim. An angled padded face suits sitting up better than a flat vertical board, because the neck and upper back are not forced into as sharp a bend. It is a statement piece, not a background strip.
In a bedroom where the bed and storage pieces are being made to look like one set, the Bayswater suits divan-based schemes and anyone who reads or watches television in bed more than it suits a minimal metal bedstead or a very tight room. The praise is strongest on looks. Multiple owners describe it as classy, smart and well made, and the most useful long-form feedback links the slightly angled padding with noticeably better sitting comfort than straight boards, which matches the practical advantage of a deeper upholstered floorstanding design. Finish control is the weakness: lower-scoring feedback flags loose staples on the back and fabric arriving ripped, while one substantial account mentions missing headboard or divan fixings, so the smart front face does not remove the need to check the rear and hardware before assembly. A 1-star entry still called it functional and smart, which suggests the failure was not always design dissatisfaction, but the repeated quality-control issues are too specific to ignore. Upholstery also brings normal maintenance demands: fabric needs gentle vacuuming and prompt stain treatment, and a grander padded board will collect dust more readily than plain timber or faux-leather panels. For a coordinated, dressier divan bedroom where sit-up comfort matters, this is the right call. For renters, low-ceiling rooms or anyone wanting fuss-free fitting, look at slimmer strutted headboards or wall-mounted panels instead.

Specifications
Manufacturer specifications without the jargon, easy to scan and compare.
10 Year Guarantee – For total peace of mind
Fault cover gives you somewhere to turn if fixings loosen or upholstery faults appear during normal use, reducing the chance of paying for eligible repairs yourself. Read the terms, because accidental damage and wear may be excluded.
Staples & Co. Premium Headboard – The perfect complement to our Staples & Co ranges of divan bases
Matching upholstery gives the bed end a coordinated back panel, giving pillows a firmer stop and making sitting up less bare against the wall. Check the base fittings first, since bolt positions can vary.
Quality assured – Hand-crafted quality, made in the UK
Factory checks should catch loose fabric and uneven seams before dispatch, leaving the headboard looking tidier where it sits above the pillows. They won't guarantee identical stitching on every piece.
Luxuriously Padded Upholstery – Stylish and luxuriously comfortable
Foam beneath the fabric softens the headboard face, cushioning your shoulders during reading or morning tea in bed without the hard edge of timber. Fabric panels can mark, and dust gathers in seams.
Floor Standing Design – For optimum stability and style, the mark of a premium headboard
Full-height panels meet the room surface, making the headboard feel steadier. They need clear skirting and enough wall space behind the bed, because the extra height can be awkward in tight rooms.
Strong, Sturdy Timber Frame Sourced from responsibly managed forests
Wood rails give the headboard a firm backbone, helping it sit flatter behind pillows and feel less wobbly when you lean back to read. Forest origin says little about the finish or joint design.
Wide choice of colours– Choose from different neutral tones or something brighter for a pop of colour
Fabric colour changes the headboard's presence, letting it sit quietly against bedding or become the main visible panel behind the pillows. Strong shades can date faster than plain fabric.
Opulent Sleigh Design with Deep Buttoning – Make a statement with this unique rolled top, sleigh bed design
Curved padding and pulled-in fabric create shadow lines behind the pillows, because the headboard becomes a taller-looking backdrop across the room. Dust can gather in the fabric recesses.
Hotel or floor standing height options – To suit your personal taste
Higher headboards create a bigger backdrop above the pillows, making the bed look more prominent against the wall. Large panels can crowd low ceilings or narrow walkways.
Hand upholstered in a range of Premium Upholstery Fabrics–A choice of textures and styles from velvet look, warm faux leather, linen look and more
Fabric over the padded face softens the board's hard edge and changes how it feels behind your pillows. Pale shades can show marks sooner, while pile needs brushing.
