About the Staples and Co Knightsbridge Hotel Height Headboard
Last checked
Used as the visual anchor behind a divan, the Staples & Co Knightsbridge Hotel Height Headboard is pitched at the larger, hotel-style end of the headboard market rather than the slim, low-profile board class. The scale is the story here. The name does more practical work than the spec sheet: “Hotel Height” signals a tall decorative backdrop intended to frame the bed, and that puts it closer to statement upholstered boards than to the conservative strut-board tier often sold simply to stop pillows marking the wall. That is an honest positioning call, because the strongest repeated praise is not about technical construction but about how it changes the room; buyers describe it as big, smart and able to give a divan set a more finished, bedroom-suite look. One owner specifically liked that it was not overblown, which matters with tall boards because height can easily tip into bulky or showy. The matching-divan comment also helps place it stylistically: this is not a rustic pine, metal-frame or pared-back Scandinavian headboard, but a dressed-up upholstered piece meant to sit with a coordinated bed base and carry colour and softness behind the pillows.
Paired with a divan or a coordinated upholstered base, the Knightsbridge makes most sense for rooms where the bed is the main design feature and the headboard is expected to do more than provide a plain backrest. Style confidence is the main appeal. Praise tends to focus on the hotel look, the generous visual size and straightforward assembly, so sit-up readers and buyers wanting a softer, more substantial bedroom backdrop are likely to understand the appeal, provided the room can take a taller board visually. The customer signal is not entirely clean, though: criticism centres on perceived quality and value, with the lowest ratings questioning the finish and one buyer regretting this style choice when comparing it with more expensive headboards in the same decorative category. That does not overturn the positive pattern, but it does narrow the brief; it suits someone prioritising a large, luxurious-looking upholstered focal point over forensic construction detail, while shoppers sensitive to fabric finish, edge detailing or long-term robustness may feel under-served by a style-led board. Best for divan-led rooms needing a tall hotel backdrop. Less good for detail-focused shoppers, who would do better with a fully specified made-to-order upholstered headboard tier.

Very good quality
Such a lovely comfortable bed and mattress . A joy to climb into and a sadness to have to get out of it . Love it .
This is a great sturdy headboard and looks great in the room
I absolutely love my new bed, can't say anything bad about it
Its ok, i regret chosing this style over some of the others, but with some of the headboards over £1200 they simply arent worth the ££.
Looks great in my room with my design, hotel headboard gives that luxury look i wanted, overall very happy, delivery was smooth and the the gentlemen that delivered it was very polite and professional, from going in to the shop picking our bed we was looking for to discussing key points, very pleased.
