• The headboard should remain fixed relative to the wall

• A hotel-style installation is required
• The headboard needs to remain independent of the bed
• A removable concealed wall fixing is preferred

Where the headboard is intended to attach directly to a compatible divan or bed base, There is also:

• 36" Wooden Headboard Struts

Select the fixing method according to the headboard design, wall construction, bed fittings and finished installation.

Accurate Headboard Bracket Positioning

Correct alignment is important when fitting sliding connector brackets.

Both sides of the fixing need to align accurately so the male and female sections engage correctly and the headboard sits level.

Before fitting, check:

• Finished headboard position
• Required height
• Bracket spacing
• Wall construction
• Headboard weight
• Structural fixing points
• Clearance behind the headboard
• Number of bracket sets required

For accurate setting out, browse Measuring & Marking Tools.

Suitable Wall Fixings

The wall fixing must be suitable for the wall construction and the weight of the completed headboard or panel.

Wall types can include:

• Masonry
• Blockwork
• Timber stud walls
• Plasterboard constructions
• Other suitable structural substrates

The correct screws, plugs, anchors or structural fixings should be selected for the installation.

Before drilling, establish the location of concealed electrical cables, plumbing and other services.

Where the wall construction or required fixing method is uncertain, obtain appropriate installation advice.

Upholstered Headboards Can Be Heavy

The finished weight of an upholstered headboard includes more than the visible covering.

The complete assembly may include:

• Timber framing
• Panel material
• Upholstery foam
• Polyester wadding
• Fabric or vinyl
• Decorative detailing
• Buttons or trim

The mounting system and wall fixings should therefore be selected for the weight and dimensions of the complete finished headboard.
