Curved Elegance

Sleigh Headboards for a Classic Finish

Sleigh headboards bring the same gently curved silhouette as our sleigh beds, finished in premium upholstery for a smooth, elegant look. They pair beautifully with most bed frame styles, available in sizes from 3ft single through to super king.

Each headboard is shaped and stitched by hand, so the curve stays smooth and the structure stays firm for years of use. Choose from velvet, boucle and crushed velvet fabrics to match your existing bedroom scheme.

A sleigh headboard is an easy way to bring a touch of classic elegance to an existing divan or ottoman bed base.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before you order.

  • A sleigh headboard features the characteristic curved or scrolled top edge associated with the sleigh bed style, giving it a more ornate, classical profile compared to a flat-topped panelled headboard. It adds a sense of luxury and period character without requiring a full sleigh bed frame.

  • Sleigh headboards attach via the standard adjustable strut system and are compatible with most divan bases and slatted bed frames. They work particularly well behind a plain divan base or ottoman bed to add visual interest. Always check the fitting compatibility for your specific base before ordering.

  • Sleigh headboard heights vary by model but typically measure between 100cm and 130cm from the floor. This is taller than our low headboard range and provides a more prominent feature. The exact height is always listed in the product dimensions.

  • Yes — a sleigh headboard in a contemporary fabric such as grey plush velvet or cream boucle can look striking in a modern bedroom. The curved silhouette adds character and a softness that complements rather than clashes with contemporary decor when chosen in the right finish.

  • Our sleigh headboards are available in upholstered fabric finishes including plush velvet and boucle. For a wooden or non-upholstered sleigh finish, please see the Wooden Beds or Sleigh Beds collections. Fabric options and colourways are selectable on each headboard product listing.
