Ellis Plain Rectangle Bed Headboard

Last updated: 23 October 2026

The Ellis Bed Headboard is simplicity done beautifully. A clean rectangular shape with softly rounded corners and a smooth, plain padded front gives it a calm, understated look that works in any bedroom.

With no buttons, channels or shaping to compete with it, your chosen fabric becomes the focal point, from a soft ivory to a rich teal or a cosy grey. It’s a versatile, timeless choice that pairs easily with patterned bedding and bold accessories, and the plump padding makes it comfortable to lean against.

Our plain headboards compared

At 70cm high, the Ellis is designed to sit just above the mattress, so you see the full height of the design. It fits easily to standard divan beds using the wooden fixing struts supplied, or it can be fixed to the wall with the optional wall fixing brackets.

Please note: for wall fixing you will require appropriate screws for your wall and above average DIY skills.
