There is a wide selection of headboards available for use with divan beds, either purchased with a new or existing bed.
All fittings are common to
all UK divan bed manufacturers, a standard that has applied for many
years, so any brand of headboard can be purchased with any brand of
bed.
Currently the most popular headboards are upholstered in
faux leather and in faux suede. Metal headboards are also very popular
in an antique brass colour and coloured metal headboards are popular in
single bed sizes.
When fitting the headboard to a
divan, the bottom of the board is designed to sit on top of the mattress
and not to sit behind it. This ensures that you get the full depth of
the headboard on show and the mattress is not pushed over the end of the
divan. Every couple of months, you should check that the headboard is
still in the correct position and tighten up the headboard bolts.
