Hartley Curved Bed Headboard

Last updated: 23 October 2026

The Hartley Bed Headboard is soft, simple elegance with a classic country-house feel. A gently rolling curved top gives it a graceful outline, and the smooth, rounded edges give it a clean, softly upholstered finish.

The plain front has no buttons or channels to interrupt it, so it shows off your chosen fabric beautifully and creates a calm, restful feel in any bedroom. The plump padding makes it comfortable to lean against.

Why choose a plain headboard?

• Lets your fabric shine: with no buttons or panels, the colour and texture of your chosen fabric take centre stage.
• Easy to style: a smooth front works with patterned bedding, cushions and throws without competing with them.
• Timeless shape: the gently curved top suits cottages, period homes and modern bedrooms alike.
• Simple to care for: no channels or buttons where dust can gather, so a quick brush keeps it looking fresh.

At 70cm high, the Hartley 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.
