About the Staples and Co Knightsbridge Floorstanding Split Headboard
Last checked
A split, floorstanding construction defines the Staples & Co Knightsbridge more than any small trim detail. The split build is the useful detail. For an upholstered headboard in the large-format divan world, a two-piece floorstanding design is a practical, access-led spec rather than a decorative gimmick, sitting between simple strutted boards and heavier one-piece hotel-style panels. It stands from the floor, so it gives a more grounded, furniture-like finish than a strut-only board, while the divided format reduces the awkwardness that comes with manoeuvring a full-width panel through halls, stairs and landings. The customer signal backs that up: the join is repeatedly described as visually unobtrusive, with one of the clearest praises being that the headboard still reads as a single, polished piece once assembled. The fabric impression is also positive, with colour, material quality and the way it completes a matching hydraulic divan all coming through as recurring strengths. In the upholstered headboard tier, that is a credible construction choice: less flexible than a wall-mounted panel, but more substantial-looking than a basic bolt-on strut board.
Paired with a divan base, the Knightsbridge seems most convincing as a finishing panel rather than a statement piece bought in isolation. It suits matching-bed setups particularly well. Praise tends to focus on three practical points: it looks elegant once in place, the material feels better than expected for a straightforward headboard purchase, and the two-section format makes handling and assembly easier than a one-piece floorstanding board. The access story is not entirely clean, though. A stair-fit problem appears in the feedback, and while it was resolved for that buyer, it underlines why the split design matters in real bedrooms rather than simply sounding convenient on a product page. There is little repeated criticism around wobble, poor finish or visible separation, which is notable for a split board, but upholstered surfaces still need the usual care: dust, fabric marking and contact stains will show more readily than on painted wood or metal. Style-wise, it lands in a soft contemporary-to-traditional register, especially where the bed base uses the same covering, rather than in a minimalist Scandi or exposed-wood scheme. It fits divan buyers wanting a dressed, coordinated upholstered finish with easier room access; anyone needing a freestanding decorative wall feature, or a headboard to move between different frame types, is better served by wall-mounted panels or simpler strutted headboards.

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 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.
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.
Contemporary Panel design –With vertical panelled detail for an elegant finish
Narrow channels break up the headboard face, helping a tall bed look less like one flat block against the wall. Dust can settle in those channels between cleans.

Nice feel and colour. Good hight to sit up and read.
At the end of the day, this is just a headboard. However, it is the finishing piece matching the hydraulic divan material perfectly, and adds that little touch of elegance to the completed package.
