About the TheraPur® Laurel Headboard
Last checked
When the headboard has to carry both the bed’s outline and the room’s decorative tone, the Laurel sits in the soft, upholstered camp rather than the hard-edged timber one. Its main cue is the curved top: less formal than a square panel, less theatrical than a wingback, and useful for rooms where a tall blocky headboard would make the divan feel heavier. The curved top softens boxy divan bases. Finish choice is the bigger spec story, because TheraPur offers animal print, bouclé-style textures, smooth velveteen, twill and linen-blend options across colours, so the same shape can read from calm neutral to deliberately bold. For an upholstered headboard range, that fabric spread is broader than the plain-weave-or-velvet choice typical of many divan headboards, with bouclé-style and animal print pushing it into a more decorative register than the conservative matching-base board. It is available as either a full-height headboard or a strutted version, which widens the installation choice: full height gives the bed a more permanent, hotel-style backdrop, while struts suit a simpler divan bolt-on arrangement and allow some adjustment against the base. The padding is central to the use case, not just the appearance, as recent feedback repeatedly describes a soft, warm surface that works for sitting up to read as well as for finishing the bed visually.
The material choice shapes where the Laurel lands stylistically: velveteen and animal print lean more statement, bouclé-style and linen-blend finishes suit softer modern or Scandi-leaning schemes, and twill is the safer middle ground for a matched divan set. Praise clusters around the way the headboard completes a base that previously looked unfinished, with colour matching and the padded backrest both coming through as repeat positives; buyers also describe the assembled set as smart enough to draw comments, which lines up with the broad fabric palette rather than any complex structural feature. The ottoman fit needs care. The range presents the choice as full-height or strutted, yet side-opening ottoman use is more sensitive than that wording suggests: spacer blocks may be needed to create clearance, and when the bed sits side-on in a room the extra timber can be visible rather than hidden against a wall. Criticism also touches build consistency, with uneven padding appearing in a return case and wobble mentioned even after fixing, so the safer installation is one where the board can sit squarely against a wall and be checked before bedding obscures the join. It suits a style-led divan or matching-base buyer who wants a cushioned reading surface and a wider fabric choice than basic upholstered boards usually offer; side-lift ottoman layouts, especially exposed from the side, are better treated as a measuring job, and a wall-mounted upholstered board or a simpler floor-standing design with confirmed clearance reduces that risk.

Choice of colour so able to have satisfactory match with bed base. Quality very good looks excellent in situ.
The head is comfortable to sit against while reading... looks fabulous and feel soft and warm to touch.
We bought the headboard with the matching divan - looks great in the bedroom
Simple design, comfy headboard. As with all freestanfing headboards, it has a degree of wobble but it's great!
Sturdy headboard. Love the colour, the grey is a lovely shade and goes lovely with the decor in the bedroom. The headboard was really easy to assemble onto the bed - a 1 man job. Really pleased with my purchase.
Buying beds has not always been an enjoyable experience. Usually, sales assistants following us around the showroom, offering deals on beds that we don't like or want. Thankfully though, that was not what we experienced at Dreams. Jenni, the sales assistant we spoke to, gave us all the time in the world and made buying the bed, an absolute Dream!!! More sales people like Jenni please
Finishing touch to our bedroom. Cant rave too much other than it compliments the colour scheme of our room.
I upgraded to a kings size side ottoman. When in dreams canterbury the staff were incredibly helpful in helping me decide which bed to choose from what I found comfortable. I am incredibly happy and quite surprised as I have been able to sleep so much better after purchasing the bed. Thank You!
A nice soft touching headboard, easy to install. Matches the base perfectly.
The fabric on this is very good quality and soft and it's easy to build up. I've got mine against the wall at the moment but if this wasnt against the wall I would expect the wooden legs to snap if you would sit against it to watch TV etc.
Its amazing, so soft, looks amazing, great quality, so happy with it. Xx
Looks very grand, must admit it's a lot taller than I imagined. Having said that, now im used to it. It's just the ticket.
We've had Headboard for about 3 weeks now and we're really pleased with it. It's very large, which gives a bold presence in the room, and the colour is exactly as shown on the website – a perfect match for our bedroom décor. It looks like a decent quality piece and feels sturdy so far. Overall, it fits beautifully in our space and adds a touch of elegance. Would definitely recommend!
Good size and comfortable to use. One fo the fixing bolts had become loose but we managed to reattach it.
Really like this headboard, it's matches the bed base and its dimensions are perfect. Also easy to assemble
Very nice headboard, decent amount of padding and a very good size. Its not too tall or bulky.
An ideal headboard in almost identical match fabric to the Tempur mattress and bed we bought from Dreams some 18 months back. Has a 'fitment' block of wood to enable correct depth headboard sits away in distance from top of bed, this allows for the movement of the openings if you have under bed storage compartments. You can vary which way round the block slots in to give the differing 'settings'. Headboard is good size, in height terms and obviously fits to suit width either single, double or whatever. Well padded, and extremely good looking when secured up against the bedroom wall. Had to wait a period of some three weeks for the delivery, suppose due to present covid circumstances. But worth the wait.
Great product, just what we were looking for. Naz the salesman was helpful and went through the options.
Nice well made headboard. Just as seen in the shop. Bit wobbly when attached and could do with 4 tighteners to hold it steady.
The headboard looks great - but it should be offered as a package rather than a separate item to oder from the base. It is a bit tricky to install - and please take into account that the ottoman divan bed frame makes it necessary to displace the mattress to open it once the headboard is installed, so a different headboard may be more suitable.
