Key facts
The Mercer Bed Headboard brings clean, modern lines to your bedroom with a geometric, city-inspired look. Three deep horizontal padded panels sit in the centre, framed on each side by a pair of slim vertical channels, so the horizontal and vertical lines meet in a crisp, tailored frame.
The result feels structured and contemporary, and it suits both modern apartments and classic bedrooms. The plump padding makes it comfortable to lean against.
| Headboard | Centre | Sides |
|---|---|---|
| Mercer | Three horizontal panels | Twin vertical channels |
| Strata | Three horizontal panels | Single side columns |
| Meridian | One flat panel | Twin vertical channels |
At 70cm high, the Mercer 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.
