The biggest change a bedroom can make, without changing the bed
Your divan is fine. It's the bare wall behind it that makes the room feel unfinished. A headboard is the piece that fixes it.
Your divan stays
Every headboard we make fits any standard divan or storage base. No new bed, no disruption, no waste.
Instant focal point
The headboard is what a bedroom is built around. One piece takes a room from "assembled" to designed.
Comfort you'll use daily
Deep foam padding to lean against for reading and slow mornings, and no more pillows slipping down the back.
Protects your wall
No more scuffed paint or marks behind the bed, and a layer of warmth against a cold external wall.
Shop by shape
Five families of silhouette, all hand-upholstered to order. The shape sets the tone; the fabric finishes it.
Twenty-four headboards. One workshop.
Every design below is the headboard from one of our beds, made to stand on its own and fit the divan you already have.

Six embroidered ranges.
Stitched, not printed.
Every Kai design is embroidered thread onto ground cloth, so the pattern stands proud of the weave and catches light across the face of a headboard. It is the one thing a 3D render cannot show you, which is why we photograph each piece as it arrives from the mill.

Lovely product
The Button Box proves that simplicity can be luxurious. The flawless upholstery, solid construction and timeless design make it a fantastic choice.
The whole experience was easy from start to finish I was advised on firmness grades to match my old mattress which was 14 years old made by the same company so knew it would be top quality. Delivery was good and able to track on delivery day. Guys were great unpacked and took away packing. It was quite firm to start but now enjoy supported comfortable sleeping .
