High Headboard Bed Frames

High Headboard Bed Frames

Make the bed the defining feature of your room with Deeplay’s collection of high headboard bed frames. Designed with a taller-than-standard headboard, these upholstered beds add height, texture and a strong focal point behind the sleeping area.

Our range includes panelled, wingback, Chesterfield and Ambassador-inspired designs, with selected models offering ottoman or drawer storage. Choose from different fabrics, colours and standard UK sizes to find a tall headboard bed that suits your room.

What Is a High Headboard Bed?

A high headboard bed has an extended back panel that rises prominently above the mattress and pillows. The additional height fills more of the wall behind the bed and gives the complete frame greater presence than a standard low-headboard design.

Tall upholstered headboards also provide a padded surface to rest against while reading, watching television or relaxing in bed. The level of padding, headboard height and overall width vary by model, so check the individual product measurements before ordering.

High headboard beds can work in large and small bedrooms. The important consideration is choosing a frame with proportions that suit the available wall and floor space.

High Headboard Bed Styles

The headboard pattern has a major influence on the overall appearance of the bed. Deeplay’s collection includes several styles for modern and traditional bedrooms.

Panelled High Headboard Beds

Panelled headboards use vertical, horizontal or geometric stitching to create a clean upholstered pattern. Vertical panels draw the eye upwards and can make the headboard appear even taller.

This style works well in modern bedrooms where you want a strong feature without deep buttoning or decorative trim.

Chesterfield High Headboard Beds

A Chesterfield high headboard features deep button detailing across the upholstered back panel. The padded pattern adds texture and gives the bed a more traditional, tailored appearance.

Wingback High Headboard Beds

Wingback beds add upholstered sections to both sides of the headboard. These wings frame the sleeping area, create additional depth and make the headboard feel more enclosed.

Ambassador High Headboard Beds

Ambassador beds combine an oversized headboard with thick upholstered sections and substantial proportions. They are designed for bedrooms where the bed is intended to be the main statement piece.

High Headboard Beds With Storage

Selected high headboard beds include practical storage beneath the mattress or inside the base. This allows you to choose a prominent upholstered design without losing useful bedroom storage.

Ottoman Storage

A high headboard ottoman bed uses a gas-assisted lifting base to provide access to a compartment underneath the mattress platform. This space can be used for spare bedding, blankets, seasonal clothing and other larger items.

Storage capacity, lifting direction and internal configuration vary by model. Check the complete product information before ordering.

Drawer Storage

Some tall headboard beds use a divan-style base with drawers built into the sides. Drawers provide convenient access without lifting the mattress, but they require sufficient space beside the bed to open properly.

Fabrics and Colours

The upholstery changes how strongly a high headboard stands out within the room. Light neutrals such as cream, beige and soft grey keep a large headboard feeling calm and easy to coordinate. Darker shades create greater contrast and make the height of the bed more prominent.

Smooth fabrics provide a cleaner finish, while velvet-style, bouclé and other textured materials add depth. Deep buttoning tends to appear more pronounced in fabrics that catch the light, while panelled designs can look cleaner in understated neutral upholstery.

Available materials and colours differ between models. Review the product images and fabric choices carefully, as colours can appear different depending on lighting and screen settings.

Measuring for a Tall Headboard Bed

Measure the complete wall height and width before choosing your bed. Do not rely only on the mattress size, as some headboards extend beyond the side rails or rise considerably above the mattress.

Check the position of windows, switches, sockets, wall lights and sloping ceilings. Include the height of your mattress when considering how much of the upholstered headboard will remain visible.

You should also measure doorways, staircases, hallways and turns leading to the bedroom. Confirm the headboard dimensions and whether it is supplied in one or multiple sections on the individual product page.

If you choose storage, leave sufficient room for the ottoman base or drawers to open safely.

Choosing Your High Headboard Bed Frame

Start with the correct UK size, then compare headboard height, width and design. Choose a panelled style for a cleaner modern appearance, a Chesterfield finish for deep button detailing, or a wingback or Ambassador design for greater depth and presence.

Next, decide whether you need integrated storage and select a fabric and colour that work with your bedroom. Finally, check the complete frame measurements, storage configuration and included components before placing your order.
