About the Staples and Co Kensington Hotel Height Headboard
Last checked
Anyone choosing the Kensington is buying into height first, with the headboard intended to make the bed wall feel dressed rather than merely finished. The Staples & Co Kensington Hotel Height Headboard sits in the statement end of the headboard category, using its taller hotel-style profile as the main design feature rather than relying on busy shaping or visible detailing. The interpretation call is simple here: hotel-height is a generous decorative scale for a headboard, closer to the dressed-up end of the divan-headboard class than the slim, low panels used mainly to protect the wall. It makes a room feel more deliberate. That scale also means the board will visually dominate more than a standard rectangular backboard, so it is better treated as part of the room’s furniture scheme, not just an accessory behind the pillows. Customer praise supports that reading, with the height repeatedly linked to a smarter, more hotel-like bedroom feel and the overall look described as classy rather than plain. The repeated fitting signal is also useful: attachment to the bed is described as easy, which points to a straightforward bed-mounted role rather than the heavier planning involved with wall-mounted feature panels.
Style-conscious buyers with a divan-style base, or a bed with compatible headboard fixing points, are the natural audience for this model. Praise clusters around three practical wins: the headboard looks more expensive than expected, gives the bed a more finished hotel feel, and does not appear to cause much fitting frustration at delivery stage. That lines up with the spec direction, because a tall decorative board only really earns its keep when the height changes the whole bed’s presence, not when it disappears behind pillows. The caution is evidence depth rather than a repeated product fault: the available feedback is strongly positive but brief, so there is little owner-led detail on longer-term fabric wear, cleaning marks, movement against the wall, or how the height behaves in smaller rooms. Low ceilings and narrow bedrooms need more care, because a hotel-height board can make the bed feel grand in a good-sized room but visually top-heavy where wall space is tight. Best matched to bedrooms wanting height and hotel polish. In low-ceiling rooms or minimalist schemes, a slim, lower upholstered board is the better fit.

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.
Modern, Classic, Deep buttoned design - A statement piece for any bedroom, fashioned with crafted pleats and deep-set buttons
Rows of drawn-in fabric with recessed buttons add depth behind the pillows, making the bed read taller from the doorway. Dust can collect in the button recesses after regular use.
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.
