Independent UK mattress reviews since 2018
The Classic Fairfield Headboard is a 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 a rich brushed twill fabric, available in four shades: Biscuit, Stone, Fossil and Denim. 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. Most owners are pleased with how it looks and how well it's made for the price, and one called it "Robust and well made" before adding that it "looks far more expensive than it was". Plenty found it easy to attach to the bed. The gripes are mostly about the fixings and the frame: one owner found "the screw-bolts supplied that enable the uprights to attach to the headboard are a little short", while another said "it does wobble back and forth when pillows are pushed against it".
