I recently bought a bedhead on line from Dreams and am very satisfied. It is the quality and appearance expected and arrived at the time stipulated. I was particularly pleased with the ervice given by the men who delivered. They were very neat, kept their social distance and put it just where I wanted it. They even took away the packaging.

Sturdy and fit for purpose headboard and divan base. Colour as expected per website. Well priced. Opted to pay the small fee for assembly which was worth every penny.

Questions and Answers About The Dreams Workshop Newark Headboard

Prospective customers had the following questions about the product

Aliyssa
Hi I have 3 questions please. 1. My fixings are 122 cm apart on a king size bedwill it fit? 2. Will it fit if the mattress is 21cm deep? 3. I have lost the headboard screws, is it possible to have some supplied with the headboard? Thank you

Answer: Yes, king size headboard fixings are 122cm apart so this will fit. You can adjust the height of the headboard to fit correctly with the mattress. Unfortunatley we do not provide headboard screws with the headboard, as they need to be compatible with the threads in your own divan base, we would adivse to contact the supplier of your divan base to request these.Many thanks

What is the height when fitted to Classic Ottoman base? Is it 30cm (height of ottoman) plus 50cm (height of headboard) making combined height 80cm or is space allowed for the mattress? If so, can the position be adjusted depending on mattress thickness?

Answer: You can attach the headboard so it fits directly on top of the divan base, the divan base is 37cm so the total would be 87cm,. However you can also adjust the headboard struts to make the headboard sit higher so the mattress can fit between them. This height would vary depending on where you adjust the headboard to.

What type of fabric is the fabric option? Is it a canvas style or fake suede I cant quite tell? Do you send out fabric samples or can I view this in store maybe?

Answer: The fabric option for the Newark headboard is a canvas woven style fabric, it is not similar to a fake suede. If you are located in Manchester this headboard can be viewed in the following stores:White City M16 0RPAsthon-Under-Lyne M34 5GJStockport SK1 2DW

Hi, Does the headboard come with the fittings needed to attach this to any divan base?

Answer: Headboard bolts come with divan bases and not with the headboards. If you already have a divan base, it should have come with fixtures as they are made to fit the divan and the headboard fits in between the bolts.I hope this helps and thank you for your question.

Folly Foulner
I need to attach the headboard to the wall as bed has no fittings for a headboard. Will this be suitable ?

Answer: The Headboard is designed to be attached to a Bed Base. We would advise you do this as it can void any guarantee and may even be a health and safety hazard. If your base is not compatible then it might be worth looking into purchasing one.

I have two twin beds that we often join together - is there a way for the headboards on each to link up?

Answer: I am afraid we will not be able to link two headboard's together. Alternatively, you can purchase a super king headboard and place it across as one against the two divan beds.Many thanks for your question.

Hi. Does this headboard come in 2 pieces? (I live in a cottage and getting things up the stairs is a challenge!!)

Answer: Unfortunately this headboard will only come in one piece, however the struts will be folded up rather being fixed into place - this will help with maneuvering the product.

Hi does this headboard fit onto the Dreams Classic Divan bed and does either the headboard or the divan come with the bolts to attach it please?

Answer: This headboard does fit the Dreams classic divan. The headboard bolts are included in the fixings for the divan, and would be delivered with the divan.
Image of the post author
Annhei
Is it safe to only use the top bolts when fixing the headboard to the divan? The bolts on the bottom are placed so it meets the skirting board, creating a space between the wall and the bed/headboard.

Answer: The headboard can be attached to the divan with just the top bolts. However if you move the divan please keep in mind it will not be as secure.

Does the headboard add 8cm to the length of the bed?

Answer: If the headboard is positioned to sit above the mattress it will only add a few centimeters to the length of the bed to account for the struts.Kind Regards,Jessica
