About the Staples and Co Pimlico Floorstanding Headboard
Last checked
Floorstanding construction is the defining spec on the Staples & Co Pimlico, placing it in the sturdier, more furniture-like headboard class rather than the lightweight strutted boards commonly bundled with divans. The customer trail points to a faux-leather or leather-look upholstered finish, with a smooth, modern appearance rather than a buttoned, wingback or deeply channelled hotel style; that is a conservative register for this type of headboard, but a sensible one if the aim is to sit cleanly with pine furniture, a refurbished modern room or a plain divan base. It is a full floorstanding board. The advantage is structural: the board takes support from the floor as well as the bed fixings, so sit-up comfort should feel more settled than on narrow struts, although the final rigidity still depends on the base and the bolts being properly aligned. Repeated praise centres on softness without a squashy feel, and the padded face is often described as comfortable for sitting against. The useful composition signal is not an ornate trim detail, because none dominates the feedback; it is the combination of padded upholstery, floor contact and simple leather-effect styling, pitched above entry-level strut boards but below the heavily tailored wingback or deep-channel upholstered tier.
Pairing this with a divan or a plain bed base is where the Pimlico lands best, especially in rooms needing a clean modern backdrop and for people who read or watch television sitting up. Fitting is generally described as straightforward, and the easy-fit comments line up with the floorstanding format: once the holes and fittings are identified, the board can be secured without relying on free-hanging struts to keep it upright. Praise focuses on the look, the comfort behind the pillows and a steadier feel than a thin decorative panel; one buyer also found it helped shield the pillow area from draughts, a plausible benefit of a floor-level padded board against a cold wall. The weaker feedback is practical rather than cosmetic. A product-specific concern is slight wobble and long-term rigidity, so anyone expecting the dead-still feel of a wall-mounted board or very heavy timber headboard may find this lighter than that class, and the fittings can cause a moment of doubt if hardware is split across base sections. Faux-leather upholstery also suits wipe-clean care, not abrasive scrubbing, and sharp knocks will show more readily than on solid wood. This suits a modern divan room where comfort, simple styling and easier fitting matter; for maximum rigidity or a more architectural statement, try a wall-mounted padded panel or a heavier floorstanding timber headboard in a higher price 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.
Modern Geometric design – Created in clean and simplistic sections for a modern twist
Panelled upholstery breaks the headboard into defined blocks, making the bed appear more structured and adding visual height behind pillows. Busy bedding can make the pattern compete for attention.
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.

This is a very smart floor standing headboard which looks great in our bedroom and compliments our new bed brilliantly. It is excellent quality and very sturdy.
