Caring for Your Upholstered Headboard

Our upholstered headboards are made to order by skilled makers in the UK, using considered materials and carefully tailored fabrics. Each piece is designed to bring soft structure and quiet presence to a bedroom, while remaining practical for everyday use. With simple care, the fabric and form will remain beautiful for many years.

Cleaning

• Dust regularly with a soft brush attachment to lift surface dust.

• If the fabric allows, use a clean, lightly damp cloth for gentle spot cleaning and follow immediately with a dry cloth.

• Always blot. Never rub.

• Avoid abrasive cloths, detergents or products that may mark or distort the weave.

• For a deeper clean, consult a professional upholstery specialist.

Everyday Care

• Keep the headboard away from prolonged direct sunlight to help preserve colour and fabric integrity.

• Allow good ventilation around the bed to minimise moisture build up, especially in naturally textured fabrics.

• If the fabric is delicate or textural, consider using a removable throw when leaning against the headboard for extended periods.

Placement

• Ensure the bed base is correctly aligned so the headboard sits level and well supported.

• Avoid pressing furniture directly against the fabric edges.

• If placed near a radiator or heat source, allow a little distance to protect both the frame and the fabric.

Longevity Notes

Natural settling of the upholstery may occur in the first months of use. This is part of the character of a well made piece.

If a minor pull or loose thread appears, do not tug. Trim carefully or seek advice from a professional.

For any structural adjustments or reupholstery, we recommend using an experienced maker familiar with crafted furniture.
