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.

Easy to fit. Looks very nice. I definitely recommend the headboard.
Simply brilliant product and brilliant service! The guys in the show room were polite and helpful and the delivery team were as professional
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. It is comfortable to sit up against and keeps the pillow area protected from draughts too. I would recommend the headboard for a comfortable, modern and super looking addition to any bedroom.
Well constructed and appears to be quite sturdy so should last well, we chose a faux leather fabric which should be easy to keep clean Easy to assemble
Really good quality looks amazing sets our bed off brilliantly.
As described and sold Well constructed but perhaps a little over expensive in comparison to the bed deck we bought.
Great product., but slightly pricy. Item is well made bur cost of material must be expensive for final price !!!!!
Lovely colour and great storage space. Looks very smart in bedroom.
Great simple design. Fits well into the room and easy to style.
Really nice mattresses and headboard. Great shop to deal with and products delivered with no issues
Super comfortable easy to assemble, looks smart highly recommended
Awesome customer service, very happy with our purchase. The experience from start to finish has been amazing. Thank you.
Good quality, drawers are very smooth in opening and closing .
I like my base and headboard but getting well annoyed with these messages everyday, my details were only for my order and delivery time.
Headboard looks very good am pleased with purchase
Both the headboard and pillow are giving excellent service. Selecting, purchasing, delivery and installation were straightforward.
Beautiful looking headboard with lush fabric looks amazing in my bedroom
Delivery men were absolutely fantastic. Bed & mattress look fantastic but we have not slept on it yet, hopefully moving into the house next month when we finish our major renovations. So looking forward to trying this new bed and mattress out.
Such a nice looking head board very solid and strong perfect
Bought to match a new divan base. Modern looking and the colour matches our furniture quite well. Thought this would be better than a velvet one for allergies, being easy to dust and keep clean.
