About the Staples and Co Bloomsbury Hotel Height Split Headboard
Last checked
This is aimed at someone who wants the headboard to set the room’s tone, not disappear behind pillows. The Staples & Co Bloomsbury is a hotel-height split headboard, so its main design promise is vertical presence with easier handling through halls and staircases than a single full-width tall board. This is a statement piece first. The split construction is the useful spec call here: compared with standard one-piece strutted divan headboards, it keeps the same grand, tall-backdrop idea without making access to upper floors the whole project. The name also puts it in the boutique-hotel register rather than the plain guest-room category, and that matches the repeated owner reaction to the height, which is described as high, substantial and room-changing. Without putting a centimetre figure on it, the safe reading is scale rather than precision: it is being bought for the big-board effect. Feedback also points to a luxury-looking upholstered finish, so expectations should sit around visual softness and a padded hotel look rather than verified claims about a particular fabric family.
The Bloomsbury suits divan-based bedrooms that need height, polish and a headboard that can travel through awkward stairs in two sections. Praise clusters around the hotel-luxury look, with the headboard repeatedly described as lifting the rest of the room, and the split format is specifically valued by a buyer who chose it because access upstairs would have been harder with a single piece. The divan fit also has a practical signal: one detailed fitting description mentions it slotting onto the bed frame and being tightened at three points with large wooden-handled screws, which points to a more secure feel than the thin two-bolt arrangements common on cheaper divan headboards. Assembly is not the anxiety point. Current sentiment is strong on sturdiness and size, with recent feedback calling out easy assembly as well as a large, high profile. The warning sits around value and delivery presentation, not comfort or wobble: the main low-score complaint says the headboard felt merely acceptable for an £800-level purchase and arrived poorly protected, with dust and loose debris on the material. That is one complaint rather than a pattern, but it is the only serious negative signal in the sample and it carries more weight at this spend than it would in a budget headboard. It lands well for a larger main bedroom with a divan base and a hotel-style scheme; compact rooms needing a quiet, low backdrop, or buyers who want premium packaging standards as part of the price, are safer with simpler low upholstered boards or a higher-end headboard tier with clearer delivery protection.

Love the Headboard. Feels and looks luxurious. Makes such a statement in our bedroom. Would definitely recommend.
Definitely gives the hotel luxury feel. Headboard easily slots onto its divan bed frame and is secured with a slotted wooden, large handle twisting screws in three points
Best bed ever had !!! Massive headboard high enough best quality made easy to assemble and very comfortable and sturdy
Absolutely gorgeous headboard - hotel style so very high. Excellent quality.
Went for the split so easier to get up the stairs. Looks stunning
The headboard was just what we wanted. Sets the rest of room off nicely. Although only had the headboard a few weeks we are very pleased with it.
We got this in Plush Carbon for our super king size bed and it looks stunning, it is HUGE but such a design focal point of room, LOVE it!
Excellent bed very comfortable would definitely recommend
