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.

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.
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.
Luxurious Deep Padded Upholstery – Stylish and luxuriously comfortable
Extra cushioning behind the fabric softens contact when you sit up in bed, particularly against a firm wall or bare divan base. Bulky padding can make a shallow room look tighter.
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.
