Premium Mattresses
The Essex headboard. Same tall plain silhouette with a single sweeping stitch as the Essex bed, made to fit a divan you already own.
A full-width, tall headboard with a softly arched top. The face is plain but for one detail, a single curved stitch line that sweeps across the lower section like a smile, dividing the panel into a generous plain upper area and a small sculpted shelf below. The kind of touch you only notice the second time you walk into the room.
This is the headboard for the modernist bedroom, mid-century interiors, exposed-beam lofts, contemporary new builds, anywhere a room wants something cleaner than a heritage shape but softer than a flat platform.
Hand-upholstered to order in our British workshop. Solid timber frame, deep foam padding, the sweeping seam hand-stitched by the same upholsterers who build our beds. Available in every size from Single to Emperor to fit any standard divan.
Choose from over 100 fabrics across velvets, linens, bouclés and weaves. Match a scheme you already have, or start from a swatch.
If you'd rather feel the fabric before you commit, send for swatches first.
