About the Staples and Co Bloomsbury Floorstanding Headboard
Last checked
A buyer wanting the bed to become the room’s main furnished feature, rather than a plain panel behind the pillows, is the obvious audience for the Staples & Co Bloomsbury Floorstanding Headboard. The effect is deliberately dressy. With no numeric height or depth supplied, the useful call is structural rather than dimensional: a floorstanding headboard sits at the more substantial end of upholstered divan headboards, compared with basic strutted boards that can flex, twist or leave a visible gap above the base. That is a credible spec choice for a decorative bedroom piece, because the board takes its visual weight from the floor and reads more like fitted furniture than an add-on accessory. Customer language repeatedly points to a high, padded-looking board with a quality fabric finish, and the colour seems to be part of the appeal rather than a neutral afterthought. One king-size divan owner specifically mentions it pairing well with a deep mattress and matching the base colour, while a 6ft purchase appears in recent feedback, so the real-world use is clearly centred on larger divan-style beds rather than compact guest frames. Without confirmed buttoning, piping or channel detail, the safest description is an upholstered, elegant floorstanding board with a taller presence and soft visual finish, not a minimalist slab.
The floorstanding construction is the feature that explains most of the satisfaction: praise keeps returning to steadiness, better room impact and a fabric finish that feels more premium than the basic bolt-on boards often sold with entry-level divans. It suits decorated main bedrooms. The sturdiness theme is especially useful because one comparison mentions an older headboard that moved, while this one stays put better; that is exactly where floorstanding boards usually have the edge over narrow struts, provided the bed and wall layout allow the extra full-height panel. The lowest-rated entries in this sample are still positive, so there is no repeated defect pattern around wobble, fabric flaws or poor colour matching; the only caution is a practical one rather than a complaint. A high upholstered board needs enough wall space, and fabric demands gentler maintenance than painted wood or faux leather, especially in rooms where pillows, hair products or pets regularly rub against the headboard. Colour-sensitive buyers should also note that the compliments are strongest when the shade works with the divan base and newly decorated room, so the look depends heavily on coordination. It lands well for a king or 6ft divan in a modern-classic bedroom that needs height, softness and a steadier fixing; cramped rooms, low ceilings or bedstead frames needing a slim independent panel are better matched with a lower strutted headboard or a wall-mounted upholstered panel.

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.
Deep multi-buttoned design - A statement piece for any bedroom with crafted pleats and deep-set buttons
Recessed buttons pull the fabric into a padded grid, giving a plain wall more depth and making the sleeping area look taller from the doorway. Those recesses will collect dust and need careful vacuuming.
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.
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.
