The Duvalay Darcey is an upholstered floor standing headboard with a smooth inset panel framed by a padded border, available in Single, Small Double, Double, King Size and Super King Size. It is a slim fit floor standing design, meaning the panel extends from the top of the headboard to the floor at the same width as the mattress and divan base, and it is bolted to the back of the divan base through two slots in the lower panel rather than fixed to the wall. The Darcey stands 137cm tall and 8cm deep, is available in a range of Duvalay fabrics and colours, is made to order in the UK, uses FSC certified timber in its construction, is approved by the National Bed Federation (NBF) and comes with a 1 year manufacturer's guarantee. It is designed for use with Duvalay divan bases, and fit on non-Duvalay bases cannot be guaranteed.

Worth knowing:
Framed Inset Panel
What it is: A rectangular upholstered headboard with square corners. Across the upper section, a smooth inset panel is framed by a padded border that runs along the top and down both sides, finished with mitred corners. Below this is a plain lower panel. There are no buttons, channels or wings.
How it helps you: The border frames the central panel like a picture, giving a modern, tailored look that creates a focal point without overpowering the room. The padded finish gives a comfortable surface to lean against when sitting up in bed.
Upholstery & Fabric Choice
What it is: The headboard is upholstered and available in a choice of Duvalay fabrics and colours.
How it helps you: Allows the headboard to be matched to an existing Duvalay divan base or chosen to complement the wider bedroom scheme.
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. The headboard is positioned behind the base and bolted to it through two vertical slots in the lower panel, and is designed to sit flush to the floor.
How it helps you: Gives the look of a tall, statement headboard without any wall fixing. The headboard is securely attached to the base so it will not shift, and the full floor-to-panel design creates a clean, furniture-like finish.
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 Darcey is made to fit the Duvalay divan range and offers a more considered design than a basic upholstered headboard, with a framed inset panel and an FSC certified timber frame. It is also made to order in the UK and approved by the National Bed Federation. If you simply want a low-cost headboard for a spare room, a basic plain design may be the more practical choice.
Vs other Duvalay headboards in the range: The Darcey is one of the cleaner, more minimal designs in the Duvalay range, relying on its framed border rather than buttons or panelling for detail. If you want more texture or a stronger focal point, a panelled or buttoned design will suit you better.
Vs other headboards at Land of Beds: The Darcey is a mid-priced floor standing headboard, offering a tall, tailored look and a choice of fabrics at an accessible price. Browse our full range of headboards to compare styles, heights and fixing methods.
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 Duvalay Darcey adds height and a clean, modern finish to your bedroom without any wall fixing. With its framed inset panel and a choice of fabrics, it is a stylish way to complete a Duvalay divan set or upgrade a Duvalay bed that has been missing a headboard.

How do I attach the Darcey 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 screw the bolts into the base through the two slots in the lower panel of the headboard. The Darcey is designed to sit flush to the floor.
How tall and deep is the Darcey headboard?
The Darcey is 137cm (54'') tall and 8cm (3'') deep in every size, measured from the floor to the top of the headboard.
Can I use the Darcey headboard on a non-Duvalay bed?
The Darcey is designed for use with Duvalay divan bases, so we recommend pairing it with a Duvalay bed. Fit on non-Duvalay 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.
Can the Darcey be wall mounted?
We do not recommend wall-mounting the Darcey, as it is designed to be bolted to the back of a divan base.
Made to measure mattresses and divan bases are available – please call 01928 242829.
