How tall is right for my ceiling, window, and wall art

Ceiling height guide

Standard UK ceilings around 240 cm work well with 60 inch heads. Higher ceilings can go taller. Keep visual breathing room above the headboard line.

Windows and sills

Measure sill height, blind drops, and any radiators. If the bed sits under a window, check the headboard will sit below the sill or choose a different wall.

Picture rails and switches

Note picture rails, dado lines, and sockets. Tall heads look best when they do not collide with switches or wall lights. A small shift on the wall can perfect the look.

Do you want hidden storage under a tall statement

Ottoman storage

Full base capacity with a smooth lift. Choose end lift if the foot is clear or side lift if one side is your natural access point.

Drawers

Fast daily access for linens and essentials. Plan side gaps and bedside widths so drawers open fully every time.

Standard frame

Prefer a light look. Keep the floor open and slide slim boxes under if you want a little stash area.

Which tall styles look best in real rooms

Wingback calm

Soft wings hug the space and frame lamps. Works a treat in velvet and chenille.

Chesterfield classic

Deep button texture reads luxe from the door. Tone on tone buttons keep it refined.

Sleigh smooth

Tall head with a gentle scroll for elegant lines and soft corners.

Fabric and colour

Velvet catches the light. Chenille is cosy. Linen look feels calm. Leather look wipes clean. We will match light and lifestyle.

How to measure like a pro so tall looks intentional, not crowded

Bedside tables and lamps

Check table width and lamp shade diameter. Tall heads love taller lamps with narrow shades. Keep switches clear of the wing or edge line.

Pillow stack and mattress height

Allow for mattress depth and a pair of pillows. You still want tufting, panelling, or texture visible above the cushions for that boutique look.

Delivery path

Measure doors and stair turns. Many tall designs ship in sensible sections. See delivery and returns for the plan.

What size feels right for your room

Small Double 4ft

Cosy rooms that still want drama. Measure side gaps carefully.

Double 4ft6

Classic bedrooms and guest spaces. Tall headboards set the tone instantly.

King 5ft

More stretch and a stronger wall presence. A sweet spot for most homes.

Super King 6ft

Suite energy. Tall textures scale beautifully at this size.

Which mattress pairs best, and will it fit

Pocket sprung

Airflow and lively support for cooler sleep and easy turning.

Memory foam

Contour and quiet motion. Partner turns do not travel.

Pillow top

Plush hotel surface with steady support underneath.

Orthopaedic

Firm and focused alignment for posture fans.

Yes. We follow UK standard sizes, so mattresses match our frames perfectly. See the full mattress range.

FAQs

Will a 60 inch headboard fit under my ceiling

Most UK ceilings at 240 cm are fine. Measure from floor to ceiling and allow a little air above the top edge for a calm look.

Do I need to fix a tall headboard to the wall

Floor standing heads bolt to the bed for stability. Some homeowners add discreet wall fixings on plasterboard walls. Ask us for advice if your wall is unusual.

Will tall make my room feel smaller

Not if you balance the layout. Keep walkways clear, use taller lamps, and choose fabrics that suit your light. The result feels designed, not heavy.

Can I add storage under a tall headboard frame

Yes. Choose an ottoman base for maximum capacity or drawers for quick access.

Will my mattress fit

Yes. Our frames follow UK standards. Match size and pick your feel from the mattress range.

Can you tweak headboard height

Often yes on selected styles. Share wall sizes, ceiling height, and photos. We will confirm what is possible from the workshop.

Is assembly difficult

No. Sections are sensible and the guide is clear. Most builds take thirty to forty minutes. See assembly instructions.
