About the Staples and Co Pimlico Hotel Height Headboard
Last checked
Buyers considering the Staples & Co Pimlico Hotel Height Headboard are looking at a statement headboard first, not a minimal divan add-on. The hotel-height positioning, backed by feedback from people who chose the higher option, puts it in the tall upholstered-board category, where the headboard becomes part of the room architecture rather than a small cushion behind the pillows. It is a deliberately grown-up piece. The clearest construction signal from the sample is that it is floor standing, which is more substantial than a basic strutted divan headboard and usually gives a cleaner, more settled line behind the bed, especially when the board is visually tall. A floor-standing hotel-height design is generous for the decorative headboard tier compared with entry-level strut boards, but it also asks more of the wall and the room because the full panel reads as furniture, not just bedding trim. The upholstered finish is the other repeated cue: Cambridge Sage and London Charcoal are both mentioned, and the material is praised for looking smart without becoming fussy. The register is soft hotel styling rather than ornate traditional carving or bare timber minimalism.
Style-conscious divan households are the natural audience here, particularly where a bed needs a taller backdrop for sitting up, layered pillows or a more finished main-bedroom look. Praise repeatedly centres on appearance, comfort against the back, and the sense that the higher option feels like the right upgrade rather than an afterthought; the easy-clean material is also a repeated practical win, which supports its use in everyday bedrooms rather than only a spare room. Scale is the main caution. The lower-scored feedback does not attack the finish or comfort, but it does show that the hotel height can look larger at home than expected, while another small-room comment lands the other way and finds the extra height still works; that split makes room proportion more important than the product name suggests. In low-ceiling rooms, narrow bedrooms or spaces already carrying heavy wardrobes, the same height that gives the hotel effect may dominate the wall, so a slim or lower strutted board is the safer build class. The Pimlico Hotel Height suits buyers who want a floor-standing upholstered focal point with practical fabric; those prioritising visual lightness or compact-room discretion should look instead at lower-profile strutted headboards.

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.
