Add timeless elegance to your child's bedroom with our Chesterfield Low Headboard, featuring all-over deep button-tufted upholstery for a rich, classic finish that never goes out of style.
The upholstered headboard measures 60cm high, making it a lower-profile alternative to our taller headboard designs. It is supplied with wooden fixing struts, which increase the overall height to approximately 125cm including the struts and allow the headboard position to be adjusted when fitted to a compatible bed base.
Handmade to order in the UK, each Chesterfield Low Headboard can be upholstered in your choice of fabric and colour, making it easy to coordinate with your child's bed and bedroom décor.
Why Choose the Chesterfield Low Headboard?
The all-over Chesterfield button-tufting creates a luxurious, textured look that brings a sense of heritage and craftsmanship to any child's room. Unlike the bordered version, this design carries the buttoned detail across the entire headboard face, giving it a bolder, more traditional character that works beautifully as a statement piece in both classic and contemporary bedrooms.

Custom Headboard Sizes
Need something different? Our Low Headboards can also be made to custom measurements.
Personalise your Low Headboard with a choice of fabrics, textures and colours to complement your child's bedroom.
Our upholstery collection includes everything from soft neutral shades such as creams, beiges and greys to brighter and more colourful options. Each fabric range has its own distinctive texture and finish, allowing you to choose a headboard that works with your bed, furniture and bedroom décor.
As colours and textures can look different on screen, we recommend using our Free Fabric Swatch Service before placing your order. This allows you to see and feel the fabric at home and compare colours against your existing bedroom décor.
Bouclé
A soft, tactile fabric characterised by its distinctive looped and curled yarn. Bouclé has a cosy, textured finish that works particularly well for soft and contemporary bedroom interiors.
Chenille
A soft woven upholstery fabric with a subtle textured surface. Chenille combines a comfortable feel with a smart finish and is available in a choice of versatile colours.
Coniston Velvet
A soft-touch textured velvet with a subtle woven grain. Coniston offers a contemporary alternative to traditional smooth velvet and works well across a wide range of bedroom styles.
Linen
A textured woven fabric with a classic cross-knit appearance. Its natural-looking finish makes it a versatile choice for both contemporary and traditional children's bedrooms.
Naples Velvet
A soft, smooth velvet with subtle surface texture. Naples offers an elegant upholstered finish and is available in a selection of colours to coordinate with your child's bedroom.
Plush Velvet
A smooth, soft-touch velvet with a rich upholstered appearance. Available in a variety of colours, Plush Velvet is ideal for creating a smart and comfortable finish on your Low Headboard.
Not Sure Which Fabric to Choose?
Order free fabric swatches before purchasing your headboard to compare the colours and textures in your own home.
We particularly recommend ordering swatches if you're trying to match your new headboard with an existing bed, curtains, carpet, wallpaper or other bedroom furniture.
Please note: Colours displayed on phones, tablets and computer screens may vary from the actual fabric.
Our Low Headboards are supplied with wooden fixing struts designed to attach the headboard to a compatible bed base.
Fitting is straightforward, but we recommend checking your bed and fixing points before installation.
Before You Start
Make sure you have enough space to position the headboard safely behind your bed.
Before fitting, check that your bed base has suitable headboard fixing points and that they align with the supplied wooden struts.
If you're fitting the headboard to a bed from another manufacturer, we recommend checking compatibility before ordering.
Attaching the Wooden Struts
The wooden struts attach to the back of the upholstered headboard and provide the connection between the headboard and your bed base.
Make sure both struts are positioned evenly and securely attached before fitting the headboard to the bed.
Attaching the Headboard to Your Bed
Position the headboard behind the bed and align the wooden struts with the headboard fixing points on your bed base.
Secure the struts using the appropriate headboard bolts or fixings for your bed. Tighten the fixings sufficiently to hold the headboard securely in position, taking care not to overtighten them.
Adjusting the Headboard Height
The upholstered section of our Low Headboards measures 60cm high.
The wooden struts allow the position of the headboard to be adjusted when fitting it to your bed. The overall height of the headboard and struts is approximately 125cm.
Position the upholstered section at a suitable height in relation to the top of your mattress, taking care to avoid an unnecessary gap between the mattress and headboard.
After Fitting
Once installed:
- Check that the headboard is straight and centred with the bed.
- Make sure both wooden struts are securely fixed.
- Check that the headboard does not move excessively when gently tested.
- Recheck the fixings periodically and tighten them if necessary.
Need Help?
If you're unsure whether one of our Low Headboards will fit your existing bed, please contact us before ordering with your bed size, bed width and details or photographs of the existing headboard fixing points. Our team can help advise on compatibility.
