About the Staples and Co Westminster Hotel Height Headboard
Last checked
The Westminster Hotel Height Headboard is defined less by intricate published detailing and more by scale: “hotel height” signals a tall, room-dominating board rather than a low, slimline divan panel. It is built to be noticed. The navy version is the clearest customer-described finish, giving it a more tailored and formal look than the beige, grey and oatmeal tones that dominate safer headboard ranges. A hotel-height headboard in a dark colourway sits at the boutique-hotel end of the decorative register, not the quiet utility end occupied by standard strutted divan headboards, so the practical question is whether the room can carry that much vertical mass behind the pillows. Buyers describe it as very big and as a statement piece, which lines up with the name rather than contradicting it: this is not a headboard trying to disappear into the wall. Without leaning on unlisted fabric, fixing or centimetre claims, the main composition call is straightforward: the Westminster is for a full-height, dressed-bed look, where the headboard acts as the visual backdrop to the bed rather than just a protective strip between mattress and wall.
Where the bed is intended to anchor the scheme, this headboard makes the most sense: larger bedrooms, darker accent walls, navy-led palettes and hotel-style bedding will handle its scale better than narrow rooms where furniture already crowds the wall. Praise tends to focus on value, the finished look and the sense that the headboard makes the bed feel more complete, with quick assembly mentioned positively in the small feedback sample. Scale is also the caution. The same height and presence that make it comforting and dramatic can become overbearing if ceiling height is limited or the bed sits close to wardrobes, radiators or window reveals; the repeated “big” signal should be treated as a buying consideration, not just a compliment. The navy colourway has a useful practical upside for family bedrooms because darker finishes are generally more forgiving than pale neutrals for day-to-day marks, though any tall headboard still puts more surface area in the dust line than a low board. The Westminster suits buyers wanting a bold, hotel-style focal point at sensible money; those prioritising a quiet, low-profile fit should look instead at slim strutted headboards or simpler budget divan panels.

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.
Deep pleated and buttoned design - A statement piece for any bedroom, fashioned with vertical crafted pleats and deep-set buttons
Pulled-in fabric creates ridges and shadow, bringing more depth behind the pillows than a flat panel usually would. Those recesses can catch lint and need careful vacuuming.
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.
