About the Staples and Co Exquisite Hotel Height Split Headboard
Last checked
A bedroom being dressed around a tall focal point is the setting this Staples & Co headboard is aiming for. The split format is the useful detail. Hotel-height headboards sit closer to the boutique-hotel register than the standard low upholstered board class, and splitting the panel is a practical concession: large statement boards can be awkward through stair turns, tight landings and older terrace doorways, so a divided construction is more installer-friendly than a single slab of the same visual scale. The supplied detail is lean, so the strongest read comes from the product name and the buyer feedback rather than fabric specification or edge construction. What does come through clearly is the intended look: this is not a quiet background board, but a tall decorative piece meant to make the bed feel more finished and formal. A repeated praise point is the sense of luxury it adds to the room, with the headboard described as glamorous, beautiful and well made rather than merely functional. That reaction matches the “hotel height” positioning: scale is doing much of the work here, giving the bed a dressed, suite-style outline that a shorter strut headboard rarely achieves.
The split hotel-height build makes most sense with a divan-style base or an upholstered bedroom scheme where the headboard is expected to carry the room visually. Praise repeatedly centres on the finished effect, especially the way it lifts a plain bedroom into something more polished; the positive comments are about ambience as much as construction, which is exactly where tall decorative boards earn their place over standard-height alternatives. It suits calm hotel-inspired rooms, modern classic schemes and anyone who wants the bed wall to feel intentional without adding heavy furniture around it. Low ceilings and very small rooms are the caution, because a tall headboard can crowd the wall even when the footprint of the bed has not changed. The main safety complaint in the available feedback concerns sharp staples found under the associated base after delivery; it appears as a single substantive warning rather than a repeated fault pattern, but it is serious enough that careful inspection around the underside and packaging points is sensible once installed. Maintenance is also less forgiving than with timber: large decorative headboards show dust, hand marks and knocks more readily because the visible surface area is the point of the design. Statement-divan rooms get the most out of this. Compact rooms or buyers needing a low, visually quiet back panel get too little - a standard-height upholstered headboard tier makes more sense.

Specifications
Manufacturer specifications without the jargon, easy to scan and compare.
5 year guarantee – for total peace of mind
Five years of manufacturing-fault cover lets you raise problems such as failed fixings, loose upholstery or split seams after normal use, before paying for a replacement. Accidental damage, misuse and ordinary wear may sit outside cover.
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.
Comes in 4 easy to assemble parts – for total ease
Separate headboard sections are easier to carry through tight staircases. Once upstairs, the joins need lining up carefully, and anyone expecting one solid slab should look at a single-piece headboard.
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.
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.
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.

Gorgeous headboard, really nicely made and gives the bedroom a really luxurious ambience
Headboard and divan base are beautiful. However, when dusting under the bed I found many very sharp staples hanging out from under the base, I'm presuming these are from the packaging and leaflets that were attached to the bed and not removed correctly. These staples are very sharp and could potentially cause an accident!
Amazing headboard - absolute luxury so stunning and glamorous
