About the Staples and Co Mayfair Floorstanding Headboard
Last checked
Buyers wanting the headboard to act as a visible bedroom feature, rather than a thin add-on behind the pillows, are the natural audience for the Staples & Co Mayfair Floorstanding Headboard. The floorstanding format is the main structural point. It sits in the more substantial headboard class than basic strutted boards, because the panel runs down to the floor and relies less on two narrow struts for its presence; that is a credible, furniture-led choice, though it also means the board has more visual weight in the room. With no supplied height or thickness to pin down, the useful call comes from the construction type and owner feedback: this is not behaving like a discreet low board, and at least one buyer found it much larger than expected once it was in place. The Mayfair name and the repeated comments about style, colour choice and decorative detail put it in a polished, dressed-bedroom register rather than a plain utility headboard. Pink blush is specifically mentioned as blending well with an existing scheme, so the appeal seems to sit in colour coordination and room styling as much as in back support.
Floorstanding construction suits a divan or compatible bed base where the headboard can stand behind the bed and be fixed securely, especially in bedrooms where a taller, more finished backdrop is wanted. Praise clusters around the appearance: the board is repeatedly described as smart, well made and capable of lifting the look of the room, with colour choice playing a bigger role in satisfaction than any technical fitting claim. Price is the repeated reservation. The lower-scoring feedback does not attack the look, but it does question value for money, and the size can surprise if the bedroom is compact or the buyer is expecting something closer to a slim strutted panel. Fitting is another practical snag: one substantive comment says attaching it to the bed was harder than expected because the bolts were not already in place, so anyone planning a solo setup may find the floorstanding format more awkward than its stable appearance suggests. The product suits a styled main bedroom where a substantial headboard is part of the design scheme; tight rooms, small budgets or buyers wanting the simplest bolt-on fitting are better served by slimmer strutted boards or a lower-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.
Hand upholstered in a choice of 26 Premium Upholstery Fabrics–A choice of textures and styles from velvet look, warm faux leather, linen look and more
Fabric on the outside changes the texture under your hands and helps the box blend in or add contrast beside painted walls and curtains. Pale cloth can mark, and textured covers may trap dust.
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.
Classic Design with Studded trim –embellished with silver finish studs which run along the centre panel edging
Studs catch light around the padded panel, outlining the bedhead and adding a more tailored look behind plain bedding. They may look busy against patterned wallpaper.

Nice very happy.Bought with new base, mattress and headboard. We are happy with the purchase..
Looks fabulous, a touch of style to any bedroom. I chose the pink blush as this blends in well with the look of my bedroom. So glad we had the option to choose the style and colour of the headboard. This added to one of the reasons we made our purchase. Will certainly recommend to friends and family.
