What should I look for when buying a divan headboard?

Start with size and fit. Measure the width of your divan base to ensure the headboard aligns perfectly, with a little overhang on each side if you prefer a statement look. Consider headboard height as well; taller options work well for high ceilings or a dramatic bedroom style, while low-profile headboards suit compact spaces. Look at the padding and fabric type, high-density foam padding gives comfortable back support when sitting up in bed, and fabric choices like linen, velvet, or micro-fibre affect both feel and maintenance.

Check mounting compatibility. Most divan headboards are designed to attach to standard bed frames or divan bases with universal brackets, making installation straightforward for DIY buyers and enabling easy removal if you move home. Consider the finish of the mounting system, hidden brackets create a clean, seamless look, while exposed brackets can add an industrial vibe. Durability matters, so inspect stitching, edge durability, and the frame’s construction.

Style and texture should harmonize with the rest of your bedroom furniture. A tufted fabric headboard delivers a classic, cosy feel, while a sleek leather-look headboard offers contemporary chic. For a lighter aesthetic, opt for a soft linen or cotton blend in neutral tones; for a bold focal point, choose a rich velvet in jewel tones. Finally, consider care requirements; velvet and light fabrics may need more regular maintenance than faux leather or microfiber.

What are the most popular styles of divan headboards?

Tufted and button-tufted headboards are a timeless favourite, delivering texture and depth that complements both modern and traditional bedrooms. Upholstered options in velvet, linen, or micro-fibre provide a soft touch and come in a wide range of colours to coordinate with bedding and curtains. Leather-look or faux leather divan headboards offer a sleek, low-maintenance option with a contemporary edge, ideal for urban apartments or minimalist décor.

Nailhead trim adds a touch of sophistication and vintage charm, while plain upholstered panels deliver a clean, versatile backdrop for any bedding ensemble. Some headboards include winged sides or curved silhouettes to create a cozy visual frame around the bed. For practical spaces, consider slim-profile or low-profile headboards that don’t overwhelm a compact bedroom.

How do I choose the right size for my divan headboard?

Begin with the width of your divan base. Your headboard should generally match the width of the base for a balanced look, or be slightly wider for a dramatic effect. Standard UK sizes include single, small double, double, king, and super king, so pick a headboard that aligns with your bed size or the closest option if you’re combining with adjustable bases.

Consider wall space and room proportions. A tall headboard can anchor a large room, while a low-profile option works well in smaller bedrooms or rooms with lower ceilings. If you have tall bedside lamps or shelving, ensure the headboard doesn’t obscure them. Remember, some divan headboards are designed to sit directly on the divan base, while others require wall mounting for stability and style.

Think about your bedding. A headboard that rises above the top of your duvet can become a focal point in photos and real life alike, so plan fabric colour and texture to complement or contrast with your duvet covers, pillows, and curtains. If you want to protect walls, a padded headboard also acts as a gentle cushion for leaning against the wall during reading or watching TV in bed.

How do I care for and clean a fabric or faux leather divan headboard?

Routine care is simple. For fabric headboards, vacuum regularly with a soft brush attachment to remove dust and prevent cobwebs; treat stains promptly according to the fabric’s care label. Use a mild detergent solution for spot cleaning, testing first on a hidden area to avoid discoloration. Avoid harsh bleaches or abrasive cleaners that can damage fibres and padding.

Faux leather and leather-look headboards are typically wiped clean with a damp cloth; if needed, use a gentle soap solution and wipe dry to prevent water marks. Avoid saturating the material, which can seep into seams and padding. For velvet or textured fabrics, consider a professional upholstery cleaner for stubborn stains and to preserve nap and colour richness.

When choosing fabric, check care instructions for machine washing or dry cleaning requirements. Regular rotation of cushions and avoiding direct sunlight will help maintain colour fastness and extend the life of padding. With proper care, your divan headboard will remain a stylish and comfortable feature for years to come as part of your bedroom decor.

Can a headboard be installed easily on an existing divan bed?

Yes. Most divan headboards are designed for easy installation on an existing divan bed using standard mounting brackets or universal bolts that fit most UK bases. Before you start, confirm what mounting hardware is included and whether the headboard uses upright posts, brackets, or a flush-to-wall design. If your current setup lacks compatible hardware, you can usually purchase universal brackets separately from Wowcher UK or the retailer.

To install, first align the headboard with the width of the divan base, then secure brackets at the appropriate height. If you’re mounting to a wall for extra stability, ensure you use proper wall anchors and consider the wall’s surface to support the headboard’s weight. For a clean finish, choose a headboard with a concealed mounting system that hides brackets behind fabric or panels. With the right tools and instructions, most customers can complete installation in under an hour.

Explore our full range of divan headboards, including tufted, padded, fabric, linen, velvet, and leather-look options, all available with Wowcher UK deals. Whether you’re furnishing a guest room, upgrading a master suite, or adding a touch of elegance to a compact bedroom, you’ll find the perfect headboard to match your divan base, bedding, and budget.
