Why our sleep experts loved it

becky says

The Classic Fairfield Headboard is a new product from The Dreams Workshop, a sub-brand from the popular retailer Dreams and a sensible purchasing decision for many. Featuring a stylish and buttoned detail design, this fabric headboard has a luxurious and deep layer of padding that props your head comfortably when positioned accordingly. Available in a wide variety of colours, this headboard has subtle design hues that won't stand out by design, instead blending in to your room set and providing a comfortable and relaxing nights sleep.

Onto the colour front and you have both leather and fabric, available in an array of different creams, greys and leather. The design features plenty of texture thanks to its woven fabric that feels luxurious while being both durable and easy to clean.

The Fairfield headboard pairs well with a long list of compatible divan bed frames and has some great reviews.

i bought this approximately 1 month ago and got it delivered two weeks ago. It is for my mother who is elderly. She is also happy with it especially if she has to have her cup of tea in bed as she can use a couple of pillows and the headboard helps her sit up properly. I would recommend this for value for money and design. It is worth going to the shop and checking out the mattresses that go with this bed as they do vary in firmness but the one i bought with this bed suits my mother.

I purchased this over the phone along with a single divan and mattress for my son. The headboard was well protected and clean when taken out of the packaging. My only reservation is that the wood could have been a better finish as there were splinters and also the backing of the headboard is not well finished, a simple piece of material the same as the front would give it a better finish, my wide has actually done this herself now and it looks so much better.

Helpful staff at branch, offered available options within a budget range. Given choice at point of order for delivery slots (day and time). Order was on time, regular updates from Dreams on arrival of delivery. Packaging removed when bed/mattress was delivered, room left tidy. Advised by Dreams delivery staff to leave a while (few hours) before dressing mattress.

We came the Dreams shop in Gravesend Kent specifically to look for headboards. We were pleased to find what we wanted within 5 minutes of entering, then paid , collected the item and were out of the shop within 15 minutes. We are very pleased with our purchase now it's fitted into a bed and will certainly visit again to purchase further items.

For the price this headboard is well finished with robust upholstery and looks clean and contemporary. The only thing giving away its price is that it isnt that thick, but also means that the headboard isnt pushing the bed away from the wall and using up valuable space in a tight bedroom.

Questions and Answers About The Classic Fairfield Headboard

Prospective customers had the following questions about the product

Could you tell me the distance between the struts and also if the beige fabric colour is true to your pictures as I don't want a pink tone? Thank you

Answer: The Distance between the struts will depend on the size of the Headboard selected. They are approximately 5cm in for each edge of the divan base. With regards to the colour we do try the hardest to match the colours online and in person if you would like to visit the local store you can get a better idea of the true colour. alternatively you can call the customer service team and they can try and arrange a swatch to be sent out to you.

We have the exact same dreams bed posted on the photo of the headboard. (We bought our bed 8y ago though. Similar to the photo its a base and a mattress). We don't see at all how to fix this to the bed. What are we supposed to do with he wooden legs?

Answer: The wooden struts are used to attach the headboard to the divan base. You will need two headboard bolts which you should have originally received with the divan base fixing kit. You will be able to feel holes underneath the fabric for where the bolts need to attach. You can pierce the fabric with the bolts and and fasten them into place, lower the headboard struts onto the bolts before fully tightening them.

Is the slate grey colour the same as online or is it a dark grey it looks like a mid to light grey in the picture also can we buy fixings from dreams

Answer: The Fairfield is available in Silver Fabric or Slate Linen. Both fabrics are different textures so will look different online. I would advise you pop into a local dreams showroom to get a real idea of what the fabric looks like.

Our bed is double 180 cm wide. Do I need to buy King size headboard if I want it to cover whole width?

Answer: 180cm is a UK standard Super king size so if you would like to cover the whole divan base you will need to purchase a Super king. The dimensions are listed online if you need any further assistant.

How do you fix it to the duvan base?

Answer: The Fairfield is a strutted headboard and so using the struts can be fixed onto the divan base with the fixing crews provided with the purchase of the base.

The bolts that you sent with my headboard are too short to fit, what size do I need to get? The headboard is to go on divan small double bed.

Answer: We would recommend you contact the retailer from which the divan was purchased as they would have the bolts which are specific to the base.

How can I screw this product to my existing bed please?

Answer: If your existing bed is a divan with headboard attachment and screws you will be able to use it on your current bed.Many Thanks,Dreams

Are the struts removable so I can fix it on the wall.

Answer: Thank you for reaching out with your question. The two wooden struts on the back can be used to wall mount.

How do we fix it? Do we need to screw it to the bed or can we just block it between the bed and the wall? Thank you

Answer: The Fairfield Headboard has two wooden struts which can be used to fix this to the divan base.

Can you fix this headboard directly to the wall?

Answer: This Headboard does not come with wall fixings. It is strutted and fixes to the divan base.

Is there any wood on the rear that I could attach wall mount fixings to please ? Many thanks

Answer: Yes, this headboard has two wooden struts on the back which can be used to wall mount.

What colour options do we have please for this classic Fairfield headboard.

Answer: In the clearance stock the Classic Fairfield headboard is only available in Silver.

I want to fix this to the wall. How thick is it & what is the total thickness including struts.

Answer: Thank you for reaching out with your question. The total thickness is 5.5cm. .

If I buy the ottoman divan bed with this. What would the overall length of the bed be together. The ottoman bed is 190 long

Answer: This headboard can add on up to 6cm depending on how you position the headboard.

I want to buy a Classic Fairfield super king headboard as replacement for existing, which has 4 struts for fixing purposes. Before I order can you please confirm that your super king headboards come with 4 fixing struts, please. Thank you.

Answer: Good AfternoonYes this will come with the 4 struts and the needed amount of fixings

What is the strut width?

Answer: The Strut width is roughly 2-3cm thick.

Can this be fitted to the wall ?

Answer: Yes, this headboard can be wall mounted.

What is the fabric made of? How would I order the fittings for my dreams divan? I don't think I kept them from when I bought it.

Answer: The headboard fabric is polyester.
