About the Staples and Co Buckingham Piped Floorstanding Headboard
Last checked
For buyers choosing a headboard as part of the room’s furniture, rather than as a thin decorative add-on, the Buckingham’s floorstanding format is the key point. It is a full-height board that stands to the floor, so it should feel more planted than a simple strutted headboard fixed only by two narrow supports, especially on divan bases where movement at the pillow end can make cheaper boards feel flimsy. The piped border gives it a tailored finish. That is a conservative, hotel-register detail for an upholstered floorstanding headboard: smarter than a plain slab, but less visually demanding than deep buttoning, scalloped shaping or a wingback outline. The “Buckingham” styling reads traditional rather than starkly modern, with the piping doing the decorative work instead of heavy quilting or oversized panels, so it is better suited to rooms where the bed is meant to look finished and substantial. As a construction class, floorstanding boards sit above basic strut-mounted headboards for perceived solidity, but they also have more physical presence; anyone trying to keep the wall behind a compact bed visually light may find this type of board larger than expected.
The upholstered floorstanding build is also what drives the strongest praise: positive reviews repeatedly describe a sturdy, well-made board with good fabric and neat stitching, and one detailed account specifically contrasts it with a previous off-the-floor headboard that felt less secure. It suits divan-style beds particularly well, and the padded fabric finish belongs in traditional, soft contemporary or hotel-influenced rooms rather than very minimalist schemes; regular vacuuming and prompt spot-cleaning matter more here than they would with timber or metal. Colour is the main specification risk. One low-scoring account says the pearl shade read as pale grey rather than cream once placed in the bedroom, so the name and fabric sample did not deliver the expected effect against an existing scheme. Damage on arrival and weak follow-up also appear in more than one unhappy account, which is a more practical concern than taste: the product itself is often praised as solid, but the buying experience can break down if the headboard arrives marked or damaged. If the brief is a sturdy, tailored upholstered board for a divan, this works; if the priority is exact colour certainty or a more fault-tolerant delivery process, a higher-service upholstered headboard tier makes more sense.

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.
Luxuriously Deep Padded Upholstery – Stylish and luxuriously comfortable
Thick cushioning behind the fabric compresses when you sit up in bed, giving your shoulders and upper back a broader surface to lean against. Extra padding can make the headboard project further into the room.
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.
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.
Modern Classic Styling with Piped trim –Upholstered with deep piping which run along both the outer edge and centre panel for a classic look
Raised cord seams frame the headboard and divide the centre area, adding clear definition behind your pillows in a made-up room. Dust may collect along the raised seams.
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.

Very pleased with headboard, well made and sturdy, looks great
Such a gorgeous headboard and excellent quality,just what we wanted
Absolutely great choice of bed and mattress
Lovely stylish and solid structure...looks fabulous. The fabric colour perfectly complements my room and will be easy to wipe/keep clean.
It's a great bed. Upholstery is of a quality I was expecting, both fabric and the stitching is of high quality. Drawers are good and run smoothly. It looks like a bed that will last many years
The bed is good. Quality. Deceptively large. Shame the product is broken and customer service isn't there to assist on what to do next
We both are happy with the Headboard. Floor standing design that takes the weight. Before the Headboard we had was off the floor which made it not so secure flimsy. Overall quality is good
Beautiful bed, so we'll made. Such good quality and the addition of the drawer storage is simply a must
Love the new headboard which matches the divan and its so soft. Lovely subtle neutral colour goes with everything and very smart. Perfect with my new lovely bed from bensons.
I love it. It looks very classy and modern. It's very comfortable when I sit up in bed.
Finishes the bed off perfectly, love the colour
