Calico covered headboards

Divan headboards buyer’s guide

A divan headboard will make a bed into a centrepiece for a bedroom, as well as adding comfort to it. In addition to including headboards we upholster for you in our collection, we also provide the option of ordering a calico covered divan headboard that you can cover yourself. The board and foam are covered in 100% cotton calico on the front only ready for you to upholster. There are two standard heights with different thickness of foam: 76cm headboard height with 5cm thick foam and 100cm headboard height with 8cm thick foam. The only exception are the narrow single and single headboards (see below). To suit the look you might want to create, our divan headboards come in a large range of shapes, and to fit the whole gamut of bed sizes. But if you want a custom shape and/or size for a divan headboard, we can make this for you. You just need to contact us for a quotation. Whether custom made or from our range, our calico covered divan headboards can be attached with the struts provided, or with wall fittings instead.
