The Dunlopillo August is an upholstered headboard with a plain panel design and a gently curved profile, available in Single, Small Double, Double, King Size and Super King Size. It can be ordered as a bed fixing on struts headboard, which attaches to the divan base via two wooden fixing posts and has a 70cm panel, or as a slim fit floor standing headboard, which extends to the floor at the same width as the mattress and divan base and stands 132cm tall. Both versions are 7cm deep and neither needs to be fixed to the wall. The August is made in Somerset, UK, is available in a range of Dunlopillo fabrics and colours, uses FSC certified timber in its construction and is backed by a 10 year manufacturer's guarantee. It is designed for use with Dunlopillo divan bases, and fit on non-Dunlopillo bases cannot be guaranteed.

Worth knowing:
Plain Panel with a Gently Curved Profile
What it is: A single upholstered panel with a smooth, flat front face and a gently curved profile, with no buttons, channels or wings.
How it helps you: A simple, timeless silhouette that works with most bedroom styles and lets your bedding and fabric choice take centre stage. The curved profile softens the look without adding visual bulk.
Upholstery & Fabric Choice
What it is: The headboard is upholstered and available in a choice of Dunlopillo fabrics and colours.
How it helps you: Allows the headboard to be matched to an existing Dunlopillo divan base or chosen to complement the wider bedroom scheme.
Bed Fixing on Struts
What it is: Two wooden fixing posts (struts) are attached to the back of the headboard. These insert into pre-drilled holes in the divan base and are secured with bolts. Each post has a long slot, so the headboard height can be adjusted before the bolts are tightened.
How it helps you: The traditional, stable fixing method. You can set the headboard at the right height for your mattress, and once fixed it is firmly attached so it does not shift or creak.
Slim Fit Floor Standing
What it is: The headboard panel extends from the top of the headboard to the floor, aligning with the width of the mattress and divan base. Upholstered side posts run down to the floor either side of the bed, while wooden fixing posts at the back are bolted to the divan base to hold the headboard securely in place. The slotted fixing posts allow some height adjustment, although the design is intended for the upholstered side posts to sit on the floor.
How it helps you: Gives the look of a tall, statement headboard without any wall fixing. The upholstered side posts create a full floor-to-panel finish from the sides of the bed, while the wooden fixing posts keep the headboard securely attached to the base so it will not shift. For the neatest finish, keep the side posts resting on, or just above, the floor.
FSC Certified Timber
What it is: The headboard frame is made from FSC certified timber.
How it helps you: FSC certification confirms the timber is sourced from responsibly managed forests, so you can choose your headboard with confidence in where its materials come from.

Vs a plain or non-branded headboard: The August is made to fit the Dunlopillo divan range and is available in the Dunlopillo fabric range, so it can be matched to your base for a fully coordinated set. It is also built on an FSC certified timber frame and backed by a 10 year guarantee, which most generic upholstered headboards do not offer. If you do not have a Dunlopillo divan, or simply want a basic headboard for a spare room, a generic option may be the more practical choice.
Vs other Dunlopillo headboards in the range: The August is one of the simplest designs in the Dunlopillo range, with a plain panel and a gently curved profile rather than buttons, vertical channels or wings. If you want more texture or a stronger focal point, a buttoned or channelled design will suit you better. If you want a clean, versatile backdrop with the flexibility of two fixing options, the August is a natural choice.
Vs other headboards at Land of Beds: The August is an accessibly priced branded headboard, offering brand-matched fabrics, a choice of fixing methods and a long guarantee. Browse our full range of headboards to compare styles, heights and fixing methods.
The Dunlopillo August is backed by Dunlopillo's 10 year manufacturer's guarantee against defects in materials and workmanship, covering the frame and upholstery. This reflects Dunlopillo's confidence in the quality and durability of their headboards, giving you long-term peace of mind.
Manufacturing Guild Mark - Dunlopillo holds the Guild Mark, awarded by The Furniture Makers' Company in recognition of excellence in design, manufacture and craftsmanship.
National Bed Federation (NBF) Approved - Independently verified to meet strict UK standards for quality, safety and responsible manufacturing.
FSC Certified Timber - The timber frame is sourced from responsibly managed forests, certified by the Forest Stewardship Council.
The Dunlopillo August brings a clean, finished look to your bedroom that complements rather than competes with the rest of the room. With a choice of strut or floor standing fixing, the Dunlopillo fabric range and a 10 year guarantee, it is the natural choice for anyone completing a Dunlopillo divan set or adding a headboard to an existing Dunlopillo bed.

What is the difference between the bed fixing on struts and slim fit floor standing versions?
The bed fixing on struts version is a 70cm panel that sits above the divan base on two wooden fixing posts. The slim fit floor standing version extends to the floor and stands 132cm tall, giving a taller, more furniture-like finish. Both attach to the divan base.
How do I attach the August headboard to my divan base?
Find the pre-drilled holes in the back of the divan base and pierce the fabric over them. Position the headboard behind the base, then bolt the wooden fixing posts on the back of the headboard to the base. On the slim fit floor standing version, the upholstered side posts either sit on the floor or are just slightly elevated.
How tall is the August headboard, and can I adjust the height?
The bed fixing on struts version has a 70cm (27.5'') panel and the slim fit floor standing version is 132cm (52'') tall. Both are 7cm (2.8'') deep in every size. Both versions have slotted wooden fixing posts, so the height can be adjusted before the bolts are tightened. The slim fit floor standing version is designed for the upholstered side posts to sit on the floor, so it looks best with little or no adjustment.
Can I use the August headboard on a non-Dunlopillo bed?
The August is designed for use with Dunlopillo divan bases, so we recommend pairing it with a Dunlopillo bed. Fit on non-Dunlopillo bases cannot be guaranteed.
Are the fixing bolts included with the headboard?
No. Fixing bolts are not supplied with the headboard - they are delivered with the divan base.
Made to measure mattresses and divan bases are available – please call 01928 242829.
