About the Staples and Co Clarence Floorstanding Headboard
Last checked
Anyone choosing the Clarence is buying a decorative anchor as much as a headboard, because the key construction cue is the floorstanding format. It sits in the more substantial headboard class rather than the basic strutted-divan tier, with the board taking its visual weight down to the floor instead of relying on narrow legs behind the mattress. That is an honest, room-dressing spec. Against slimmer bolt-on panels, floorstanding designs usually look more complete and hotel-led, though they also ask for more wall height and a bed position where the headboard can remain a permanent backdrop. The customer language points strongly towards upholstered softness and muted colour options, with taupe singled out positively, so the register is fabric-led and decorative rather than timber, metal or wipe-clean faux leather. Without leaning on exposed buttoning, wings or deep channel detail, the Clarence still reads as a plush upholstered board because the repeated praise is for softness, style, colour and perceived quality rather than clever storage or technical adjustability.
As part of a divan-style bedroom scheme, the Clarence suits people who want the bed to look finished from floor level upwards, especially where the headboard is being matched with a base and mattress rather than added as a light afterthought. Praise clusters around the look and feel: the upholstery is repeatedly described as soft and stylish, the colour choice lands well, and the board is treated as strong enough to justify its price in a way that basic strutted headboards often fail to do. Assembly appears straightforward in the smoother experiences, but the buying experience is not friction-free. The service issue matters more than styling. Criticism centres less on the headboard face itself than on the surrounding order: one case involved confusion over who would attach the board to the bed, and another complaint concerned a sticking drawer on the accompanying base, so full-bed purchases can introduce fitting and base-quality irritations that the headboard alone does not solve. For a divan-based room needing a soft upholstered focal point and a sturdier floorstanding presence, this is the right call. For renters, wall-fixed layouts or tighter rooms where easy removal and minimal bulk matter more, look at slimmer strutted or wall-mounted headboards instead.

We purchased this headboard with base and mattress. It looks fabulous and of superb quality would highly recommend
Looks great but have trouble with one of the drawers sticking.
The headboard is very nice and of good quality. I bought this with a bed - naturally - but Bensons use two suppliers and neither could take responsibility for putting the headboard on the bed. I ordered a complete bed, but did not get a complete service. This was an expensive bed so I did expect a better service.
Great bed and well made great nights sleep just don't want to get up
Sooo beautiful and stylish and soo soft to the touch and I went for a taupe colour and it's gorgeous! So easy to assemble (says my dad)
Very stylish, beautiful colour, very strong and worth the price
