About the Staples and Co Lambeth Floorstanding Headboard
Last checked
Buyers considering the Lambeth are really choosing a decorative focal point rather than a barely-there back board: its floorstanding format gives it the visual weight of a fixed furniture piece, and the feedback repeatedly ties its appeal to height, colour choice and a softer, bedroom-finishing feel. Floorstanding is the steadier construction class than a basic strutted headboard, because the board carries down to the floor rather than hanging mainly from two narrow supports; that is a credible choice for a taller upholstered design, especially when the headboard is intended to sit visibly behind a divan or bed base. It is a statement piece, not a discreet trim. The Lambeth detailing appears to be based around folded or channelled upholstery, with enough sculpting in the promotional imagery to make padding depth part of the design promise, and one recent note also flags a glitter effect in the fabric that photographs do not fully show. That puts the fabric register closer to dressy hotel-style upholstery than plain linen or faux-leather budget boards, although the lack of reliable visual consistency in the feedback means the finish should be treated as more variable than the polished product shot suggests.
The floorstanding build pairs most naturally with a divan-style base or any frame where a full-height board can stand cleanly behind the bed, and it will suit modern, glamour-led or traditionally upholstered rooms better than pared-back Scandi schemes. Praise tends to centre on the way it completes the room: the colour selection helped one bedroom carpet match closely, the height was a selling point, and the overall feel is often described as quality-led and more luxurious than a plain board. Delivery and finish are where confidence drops. More than one poor experience centres on damage, replacements and material arriving rucked or under-padded, with the folds looking flatter and droopier than expected; in that conflict between the pictured design and lived use, the repeated complaint carries more weight than the sales image. One substantive size-related warning also sits around room planning for an adjustable bed and headboard combination, where the total footprint left too little walking space, so smaller bedrooms need more care than the product name alone implies. It suits a colour-led bedroom refresh where a tall upholstered focal point is wanted; anyone needing exact photo-matched pleating, faultless delivery or a low-profile board has stronger odds with a plainer strutted design or the higher-priced 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.
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.
Sleek Linear design – Simplistic contemporary look
Parallel seams form a flat backdrop behind the pillows, helping patterned bedding and bedside furniture sit calmly beside it. Ornate rooms may suit a curved or buttoned headboard better.
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.
