Standard strutted headboards are commonly used with compatible divan bases and selected bed frames. They are fitted using vertical supports, known as struts, which attach to the bed base or suitable fixing points. Always check the product dimensions and fitting information to confirm compatibility with your existing bed.
What Is a Standard Strutted Headboard?
A standard strutted headboard is a headboard supplied with vertical supports, or struts, that allow it to be attached to a compatible bed base. The struts are usually positioned behind the headboard and secured to the bed using suitable fittings.
Strutted headboards are a popular choice for divan beds because they can provide a neat and attractive finish without requiring the headboard to be fixed directly to the wall. However, the fitting method, strut spacing and fixing points can vary between manufacturers and designs.
Before ordering, check whether the headboard is suitable for your bed base and whether the required fittings are supplied. If you are unsure, please contact us for assistance.
Choose Your Headboard Style
Modern Strutted Headboards
Modern strutted headboards feature clean lines, simple shapes and contemporary upholstery. They are ideal for bedrooms where you want a stylish finish without an overly decorative design.
Panelled Strutted Headboards
Panelled headboards add structure and texture behind the bed. Square, rectangular and geometric panels can create a smart focal point while complementing modern bedroom furniture.
Hand-Tufted Headboards
Hand-tufted headboards offer a more traditional and luxurious appearance. Button detailing and carefully arranged upholstery panels can give the bedroom a classic, hotel-inspired finish.
Curved-Top Headboards
Curved-top headboards provide a softer appearance than straight-edged designs. Their rounded profile can add elegance and create an attractive feature behind the bed.
Diamante and Decorative Headboards
For a more glamorous bedroom style, choose a headboard with diamante, crystal-button or decorative detailing. These designs can add sparkle and visual interest to both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Upholstered Fabric Headboards
Upholstered fabric headboards are available in a variety of finishes and colours, making it easier to coordinate your headboard with your bedding, curtains, flooring and other bedroom furniture. Fabric options vary by product, so please check the individual listing for details.
Benefits of a Standard Strutted Headboard
A Finished Bedroom Appearance
A headboard helps frame the bed and can make the sleeping area look more complete. It can also add height, colour and texture to an otherwise plain bedroom wall.
Padded Comfort
Many of our standard strutted headboards are padded or upholstered, providing a comfortable surface to lean against when sitting up in bed. The level of padding and support varies between designs.
A Range of Designs
Our collection includes modern, traditional, panelled, tufted, curved and decorative styles. This gives you the flexibility to choose a headboard that suits your bedroom décor.
Different Fabric and Colour Options
Selected headboards are available in different fabric finishes and colours. Always check the product page for the available options before ordering, as colours and materials vary between designs.
Suitable for Bedroom Updates
A new headboard can refresh the appearance of an existing bed without replacing all your bedroom furniture. It can be an effective way to introduce a new colour, texture or design feature.
Check Compatibility Before Ordering
Standard strutted headboards are generally designed to attach to compatible bed bases using vertical struts. Although they are commonly used with divan beds, compatibility is not guaranteed with every bed frame or base.
Before placing your order, please check the following:
- Confirm that you have selected the correct bed size.
- Check the headboard width and height shown on the product page.
- Confirm that the headboard is suitable for your divan base or bed frame.
- Check the position and spacing of the fixing points or struts.
- Review whether brackets, bolts or other fittings are included.
- Check the product fitting instructions where available.
- Measure the available space behind the bed.
- Check delivery information, especially for made-to-order products.
- Consider access through doorways, hallways, stairways and lifts.
If you are unsure whether a particular headboard will fit your bed, please contact us before ordering. We can help you review the product information and available dimensions.
Are Strutted Headboards Suitable for Divan Beds?
Standard strutted headboards are commonly selected for use with divan beds because they are designed to attach to a compatible base. The struts are normally secured to the bed base using suitable fittings.
However, divan bases can vary in construction and fixing arrangements. Before ordering, check the product information to make sure the headboard is suitable for your particular divan. You should also confirm the headboard width and the position of the fixing points.
If you are replacing an existing headboard, compare the new headboard’s dimensions and fixing arrangements with your current setup before purchasing.
Made-to-Order Headboards
Some headboards may be manufactured to order according to the selected size, design or fabric. These products may not be held as standard stock and can have different production and delivery times.
Please check the individual product information and our terms and conditions before ordering. Once a made-to-order product has entered production, cancellation and return options may be restricted, subject to your statutory rights.
