I wish I could say this bed is perfect to put unfortunately There is a very serious problem with the bed as me and my fiance have found it far too comfortable to the extent that I have missed many meetings In the morning due to the Deep slumber I am in. The bed feels like I am sleeping on cloud 9. As soon as my head hits the pillow I feel as if I am sinking into a magical wonderland of cotton wall. I do not have any recollection of the night untill I wake up about 14 hours later

The headboard is one solid piece of timber, rather than a headboard with two spindles for attaching to the bed. This means that it is SOLID! (And heavier than expected). It barely moves, supports those breakfast in bed moments and is comfortable. Recommended.

We are extremely pleased with this product. It has certainly enhanced our bed and bedroom and has been admired by friends and family. We would have no hesitation in recommending this product and Bensons for Beds and indeed have already done so!

A luxurious addition to our new look bedroom that gives it the Wow factor ! I'm also very impressed with the service as the headboard was delivered on the given date and I was kept informed of delivery times and it arrived when stated

The head board is large and matched the bed base. Self assembly. It was a bit fiddly to screw the bolts into the base. It got tangled with the clothes and dome cotton. Took a while and eventually got the headboard fixed to the base.

Good quality headboard and solid fixings. A Shame that the advertised price in the shop is not the final price you pay! You have to add on a delivery charge - you cannot collect at the shop with the advertised price.

Seems a lot of money for what it is. Cannot see where to review the bed base.? Quality not that good had to sort out runners as not fitted correctly and staple on some corners as not fitted correctly

Great headboard I love how high it goes up it looks really impressive but it's only a headboard and it says it must be 50 characters in length and am now lost for words but glad I bought it

The headboard appears to be well made, but I have not yet laid against it a lot to see if it is comfortable in the long run. VfM is difficult to assess, I suppose it is the going rate.

Headboards are very expensive items but prefer the bed with it. The one we got to match the bed is rather bulky but great choose of colours, materials and styles. Looks brilliant.
