About the Staples and Co Bloomsbury Hotel Height Headboard
Last checked
Used as the visual anchor behind the pillows, the Staples & Co Bloomsbury Hotel Height Headboard is being chosen for scale and presence rather than quiet background dressing. The “hotel height” positioning puts it in the tall upholstered-headboard class, closer to boutique-hotel bedroom furniture than to slim utility boards usually paired with basic divans, and that is the main spec call here: the drama comes from height and padding, not from a complicated visible frame. Its appeal is scale, not trick detailing. The Portobello colour mentioned in feedback sits in a soft, neutral register, so the look appears more grown-up hotel suite than bold feature-wall colour; that should make it easier to pair with pale linens, warm woods and carpeted rooms. The Bloomsbury styling reads traditional and tailored, rather than coastal or stripped-back Scandi, with the appeal in real bedrooms coming from the way the board makes the whole bed feel dressed and complete. For sit-up reading, the upholstered face has a clear advantage over wooden slats or metal bars, even though no padding depth is supplied.
As a backdrop for a finished bedroom scheme, this suits rooms where the bed is meant to look deliberately styled rather than simply assembled. Praise repeatedly centres on appearance: the headboard is described as beautiful, luxurious and especially strong once installed in the room, with the hotel-style effect carrying more of the satisfaction than any technical construction detail. That response matches the build direction, because a tall upholstered board is designed to create vertical impact behind the mattress in a way a low strutted headboard rarely can. Placement needs more care than usual. One detailed owner notes that the back is not finished in the same fabric, so the headboard needs to sit against a wall rather than stand exposed, and a lower-rated comment flags visible bed pins as disappointing for the money. Against a wall in a main bedroom, the unfinished rear is unlikely to matter; on a freestanding bed, in front of a window, or anywhere the back might be seen, it becomes harder to justify. Upholstery also asks for more careful cleaning than timber or metal, so homes with pets, heavy hair-product use or children climbing over the headboard may prefer a wipe-clean surface. The Bloomsbury suits bedrooms chasing a tall, upholstered hotel-backdrop; those wanting a fully finished rear or cleaner exposed fixings are better served by higher-tier floor-standing upholstered headboards.

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.

Could not be happier
Very happy with our new bed, looks fabulous in situ.
The best night sleep I ever had, every night!! The bed looks incredible firstly, like a high end / luxury hotel. It's very comfortable, and the delivery and install was faultless. Highly recommended!
I absolutely LOVE our Bloomsbury bed! We went for the portobello coloured hotel height headboardI did wonder if we'd made the right choice whilst we waited for the delivery but now it's arrived we needn't have worried, It's beautiful! The only niggle (if I had to find anything) is, you have to put this headboard against the wall as it's not covered in the same material at the back. Our mattress is the superior medium and it's THE MOST COMFORTABLE we've had yet and we've had tempur in the past. Highly recommend!
We absolutely love our headboard. It's stylish and well made and looks very classy.
