If you're on the lookout for a luxurious headboard, your hunt might very well culminate with the "Dream Team Felixstowe Headboard". With its classic deep buttoned design and high comfort quotient, it's no wonder that this product has been garnering attention. But with headboards, you need to look beyond aesthetics; so here’s my review of this product.
How we tested
Our assessment was executed in-store rather than in a home environment. We evaluated the headboard while prioritising three key elements: its visual appeal, the workmanship quality, and its potential for providing comfort. Adhering to these standards provided a strong basis for our evaluation.
Design and features
Charm and character meld seamlessly in the Dream Team Felixstowe Headboard. Its deep buttoned design, plush padding and full height contribute to an attractive, modern look. What corroborates its allure further is a range of colour options in a super-soft velveteen upholstery that you can choose from to suit your unique taste and decor. Handcrafted at the Dreams Bed Factory in the UK, this product comes with a 1-year guarantee to provide customer satisfaction. Deep padding makes for a comfortable backing during those breakfast-in-bed mornings or late-night reads. However, I must caution that, apart from Blush and Mushroom, the available hues are somewhat dark and may not blend harmoniously with all interior colour schemes.
Construction
This headboard features a wooden construction, adding a sense of reliability to its list of traits. Its full-height design helps it sit neatly with your divan base. While we appreciate how the sturdy build adds to the overall product quality, it is significantly pricier than other headboards in the market.
Suitability
Dreams recommends pairing the Felixstowe with a Dream Team divan base or ottoman. Owners who bought it alongside a new bed are pleased with the match. One wrote that it "complements my new ottoman bed very well", and another said the headboard and a matching divan base "together look so much better than my old bed". On the flip side, the product may seem a little too expensive for some - a sentiment I resonate with. For a standalone purchase, the price tag may seem excessive.
What customers thought
Owners are mostly taken with how it looks. One wrote that it "Looks so expensive", and another called it a "Superior headboard that sets off the whole bedroom". Comfort and build come up often too. One owner said "It is comfortable to rest against when sitting upright". Another described it as "Good quality fabric and sturdily made." The neutral shades get specific praise, with one owner writing that "the neutral tones go perfectly with our bedroom decor". However, I couldn't help but notice that, beyond Blush and Mushroom, there's no wider, lighter colour palette that might have made the product apt for a larger variety of room designs. Complaints are few: one owner found that "The padding isn't particularly thick", and another had "one of the four screws which wasn't long enough to fix it to the strut".
The verdict
Upon reviewing the Dream Team Felixstowe Headboard, it is clear that it carries a fair share of allure, brought about by its aesthetic design and inviting comfort. However, the relatively high cost and limited colour range may deter some potential buyers. If you're looking for a luxurious touch for your bedroom and don't mind splurging a bit, the Dream Team Felixstowe Headboard might just be the perfect fit for you.
