What Is a Strutted Headboard?

A strutted headboard is fitted with supporting struts that allow it to be attached to a compatible divan base or bed frame. The struts position the headboard securely behind the mattress while providing a practical alternative to larger floor-standing designs.

Strutted headboards are a popular choice for divan beds because they provide a stylish finished look without taking up as much floor space as a floor-standing headboard.

Available in a range of upholstered designs, colours, fabrics and finishes, strutted headboards make it easy to create a comfortable and stylish focal point behind your bed.

Why Choose a Strutted Headboard?

Strutted headboards combine practical fitting with stylish bedroom design. Many designs feature padded or upholstered finishes, providing a comfortable surface when sitting up in bed to read, watch TV or relax.

Their space-conscious design makes them particularly suitable for divan beds, while the choice of colours, fabrics and finishes makes it easy to complement your existing bedroom décor.

  • Practical fitting – Designed to attach to compatible divan bases or bed frames.
  • Comfortable designs – Many styles feature soft padding and upholstery.
  • Wide choice of styles – Choose from different colours, fabrics and finishes.
  • Popular UK sizes – Available in Single, Double, King Size and Super King options, depending on the design.
  • Space-conscious design – A practical alternative to larger floor-standing headboards.

Will a Strutted Headboard Fit My Divan?

Many strutted headboards are designed to fit compatible divan bases, making them a popular choice for divan beds. However, compatibility can vary between individual headboards and bed bases.

Before ordering, check the individual product information for the headboard dimensions, strut positions and fitting requirements. You should also make sure your divan base has suitable fixing points for the headboard.

Strutted Headboards vs Floor Standing Headboards

Choosing between a strutted and floor-standing headboard often comes down to the style, space and fitting requirements of your bedroom.

Strutted headboards attach to a compatible divan base or bed frame and offer a practical, space-conscious solution. They are particularly popular for divan beds.

Floor-standing headboards are larger designs that stand behind the bed and can create a more substantial feature. They can be a good choice if you prefer a larger headboard that extends closer to the floor.

Consider your existing bed base, available space, preferred style and fitting requirements when choosing the right headboard.
