Upholstered Headboards Simple To Fit and Transform Your Bedroom

Most upholstered headboards are supplied with the main upholstered headboard panel, two legs (depending on width) and two screws per leg. Typically the legs are secured for with one screw and are folded in to allow for easier transit and smaller transit packing.

  • Once the upholstered headboards packaging is opened, the headboard can be removed and the legs will fold down. At this point the second leg fixing screw can be inserted (supplied) to both legs
  • If you already have had a headboard fitted and are replacing it with a new one, then the holes will already be visible and the bed headboard fixing screws that came with the bed inserted.
  • If you have purchased a new bed then it will probably have some small stickers over the holes for the bed headboard screws (these are normally large plastic capped screws about 2 ½ inches 6.5cm long). Carefully pierce through the applied sticker to find the hole into which the bed headboard screw fixes. If you are careful often it is best to use a pointed implement. Be very careful not to damage the material round the screw hole too much
  • Carefully screw the upholstered headboards screws into the divan base end holes in the divan base end you have just pieced. Note take care not to snag the material.
  • On some makes of bed divans other than Kaymed , there are more than two holes per headboard leg per in some cases as many as four per leg, to cope with the weight of the headboard.
  • Now the upholstered headboards is ready to be fitted to your bed. Carefully slide the headboard legs onto the screws that are in the divan base. It is often easier to have two people to fit the headboard particularly in the case of  heavy wooden headboards

Attaching the headboard to your bed

  • Once you have slid the headboard legs onto the bed headboard screws, you can hand tighten the screws so that the headboard stays in position and does not drop.
  • With the mattress placed on the bed, adjust the headboard to be just on the top edge of the mattress. Get someone to stand at the end of the bed and they can check that it is level, you can then adjust accordingly. At this point fully tighten the bed headboard screws.
  • Now take a step back and see what a difference the new upholstered headboard makes to your bed room!
