About the Staples and Co Exquisite Floorstanding Headboard
Last checked
Used as a visual anchor rather than a low divan afterthought, the Staples & Co Exquisite Floorstanding Headboard is defined first by its floorstanding build: the board stands from the floor and fixes behind the bed, giving a more furniture-like presence than a slim strutted headboard. It is a statement piece. The construction class does most of the work here, and owner descriptions fill in the lived-in picture: this is being bought for a plush, upholstered, boutique-hotel look, not for a minimal Scandi line or bare timber texture. A floorstanding headboard sits at the more substantial end of the headboard register; compared with simple strut-mounted boards, it usually brings a steadier upright panel and a fuller wall-facing silhouette, though it also asks more of the room visually. The repeating language around sumptuous fabric, a lush finish and comments from visitors points to a decorative surface that carries the bedroom scheme rather than disappearing behind pillows. Lounging is part of the appeal. For readers who sit up against the board, the padded hotel-style impression is more relevant than fine edge detailing, and the customer sentiment points strongly towards comfort as a backrest as well as impact as furniture.
Pairing it with an upholstered bed base, divan or matching ottoman is where the look makes most sense, because the praise clusters around a coordinated, luxury-bedroom effect rather than a discreet add-on panel. Buyers repeatedly describe it as sturdy, easy to dust or wipe over, and substantial enough for lounging in bed, which lines up with the floorstanding format: a board that reaches the floor has more visual weight and usually feels less temporary than a two-strut accessory. Assembly is the main caution. The clearest snag in the lower-rated feedback is practical rather than cosmetic, with bolt length making construction harder for at least one purchaser; delivery and assembly, where mentioned, are otherwise described as smooth, so the concern is not a broad quality complaint. Fabric maintenance also suits tidy adult rooms better than heavy-use children’s spaces, because upholstered surfaces collect dust and marks even when the surface wipes clean. This is aimed at a modern hotel-style or glam traditional bedroom with enough wall space to let a full-height board breathe. The Staples & Co Exquisite suits buyers after a plush, showpiece floorstanding headboard for lounging and a dressed-up main bedroom; those wanting a barely-there panel for tight rooms are better served by a lower strutted or wall-mounted headboard.

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 Padded Upholstery – Stylish and comfortable
Fabric-covered padding gives your shoulders a softer surface to lean against. Fabric needs regular vacuuming and may show marks faster than wood or metal, while deep cushioning can make the headboard feel bulkier.
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.
Opulent Winged design - A statement piece for any bedroom, created with vertical panelling and sweeping wings
Tall side returns frame the pillows, making the bed feel more enclosed. They need visual space around them, because in a narrow room the extra width can look bulky and make bedside access tighter.
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.
