Worth knowing:
Classic Shaker Slatted Design
What it is: A row of evenly spaced vertical slats set between a flat top rail and a deep bottom rail, with a slim capping rail along the top edge. The open gaps between the slats give the headboard its classic Shaker look.
How it helps you: A simple, timeless design that suits modern country, coastal and Scandinavian-inspired bedrooms. The open slats let light pass through, so the headboard adds a finished look without making the room feel heavy or closed in.
Square Posts with Bevelled Tops
What it is: Square corner posts run down each side of the headboard, finished with neatly bevelled tops rather than decorative finials.
How it helps you: The posts frame the bed with clean, straight lines, keeping the overall look understated and easy to style with contemporary or traditional furniture.
Solid Scandinavian Pine with Grey Paint Finish
What it is: The Shaker Grey is handcrafted in the UK from solid Scandinavian pine, made from FSC certified timber, and coated in a grey paint finish.
How it helps you: Solid pine is strong and durable, so the headboard stays sturdy for years. The soft grey paint finish gives a calm, neutral look that is easy to match, and FSC certified timber means the wood comes from responsibly managed forests.
Bed Fixing on Struts
What it is: Two wooden fixing posts (struts) are attached to the back of the headboard. These line up with the pre-drilled headboard holes in the divan base and are secured with bolts. The struts can be positioned higher or lower on the back of the base.
How it helps you: The traditional, stable fixing method. The headboard is firmly attached to the base so it does not shift or creak, needs no wall fixing, and can be set at the height that suits your mattress and how you like to sit up in bed.

Vs a plain or non-branded headboard: Many budget wooden headboards are made from MDF or chipboard with a printed or wrapped finish. The Shaker Grey is handcrafted in the UK from solid Scandinavian pine and FSC certified timber, so you get a sturdier build and a painted finish over real wood. If you simply want the lowest-cost way to finish a bed, a plain non-branded headboard may suit you better.
Vs other Friendship Mill headboards in the range: Friendship Mill headboards share the same handcrafted approach, but vary in outline and finish. The Shaker Grey sits at the simple, modern country end of the range, with straight lines, open vertical slats and a painted finish. If you prefer a curved or more decorative outline, or the warmth of a natural wood finish, a more traditional style from the range may be a better fit.
Vs other headboards at Land of Beds: The Shaker Grey is a solid wooden headboard sitting alongside our wider range of upholstered and wooden designs. Choose wood if you want clean lines, an easy-to-wipe surface and a light, open look; choose upholstered if you want a soft headboard to lean against or a fabric to match your bedroom. Browse our full headboard range to compare styles.
FSC Certified Timber - The timber is sourced from responsibly managed forests, certified by the Forest Stewardship Council.

How does the Friendship Mill Shaker Grey headboard attach to my bed?
The Shaker Grey is a bed fixing on struts design. Two wooden fixing posts on the back of the headboard line up with the pre-drilled headboard holes on your divan base and are secured with bolts, so no wall fixing is needed.
Can I adjust the height of the Shaker Grey headboard?
Yes. The struts can be positioned higher or lower on the back of the base, so you can set the headboard at the height that suits your mattress and how you like to sit up in bed.
Why is the Shaker Grey wider than my bed?
Each size is slightly wider than the bed it is designed for, so the square corner posts sit either side of the bed and frame it. For example, the King Size headboard is 160cm wide for a 150cm King Size bed. Check the Dimensions section to make sure it fits your space.
Which bed sizes is the Shaker Grey available in?
The Shaker Grey is available in Small Single, Single, Large Single, Small Double, Double and King Size. It is not available in European King Size or Super King Size.
What is a Shaker style headboard?
A Shaker style headboard has a simple, practical design with clean straight lines. The Shaker Grey has evenly spaced vertical slats set between a flat top rail and a deep bottom rail, with square posts at each side, handcrafted from solid Scandinavian pine and coated in a grey paint finish.
