Millbrook Somerton Headboard

The Millbrook Somerton is an upholstered headboard with a vertical panelling design, featuring a series of upright stitched channels across the upper section, available in Double, King Size and Super King Size. It uses a slim fit floor standing fixing, with the panel extending from the top of the headboard to the floor and bolting through the legs into the divan base - no wall fixing is required. The Somerton is available in a range of fabrics and colours matched to the Millbrook divan range, is made in the UK from FSC certified timber, and is backed by a 10-year manufacturer's warranty. It is designed to complement the Millbrook divan range and is not compatible with non-Millbrook bases.

Who Is This Headboard For?

An upholstered Millbrook headboard in a vertical panelling design, available in Double, King Size and Super King Size and a full range of fabrics and colours, with slim fit floor standing fixing.

Best for

• Customers with a Millbrook divan bed - designed and guaranteed to fit the Millbrook divan base range without modification.
• Customers who want a finished, cohesive look - the headboard is available in the same fabric range as the Millbrook divan base, so the set can be matched exactly.
• Customers who like a more tailored, structured look - the vertical panelling adds visual texture and a linear detail without buttoning or tufting.
• Customers who do not want to drill into walls - the floor standing fixing attaches to the base, so requires no wall fixing and leaves no damage to paintwork.
• Customers who want to match an existing Millbrook divan - available in three sizes, from Double to Super King Size.

Not ideal for

• Customers with a non-Millbrook bed - this headboard is designed for use with Millbrook divan bases and fit cannot be guaranteed on other brands.
• Customers looking for a completely plain, minimal panel - the Somerton's vertical panelling is a more textured design. Customers wanting the simplest possible look may prefer a plain panel style.
• Customers who need wall-mounting - this headboard is designed to attach to the divan base, not to fix to the wall.

Worth knowing:

• This is a headboard only. A divan base and mattress are not included. See the compatible Millbrook divan range on the product page.
• Fixing bolts are supplied with the divan base, not the headboard.
• The slim fit floor standing design attaches to the divan base and does not require any wall fixing.

Inside This Headboard

Vertical Panelling
What it is: The upper section of the headboard is divided into a series of upright stitched channels running the full height of the panel, creating a linear, columned effect. No buttons or tufting - the detail comes from the panelling alone.
How it helps you: The vertical lines add visual texture and a more tailored, structured feel to the bedroom without the panel becoming a heavy statement piece.

Upholstery & Fabric Choice
What it is: The headboard is upholstered in a range of fabrics and colours, matched to the Millbrook divan range.
How it helps you: Choosing from the same fabric range as your Millbrook divan base means you can match the headboard to your existing set exactly - no visible colour or texture discrepancy.

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 secured by bolting through the legs into the divan bed.
How it helps you: Gives the look of a tall, statement headboard without any wall fixing. The headboard is still securely attached to the base, so it will not shift - the floor-to-panel design creates a cleaner, more furniture-like finish than a strut-fixed headboard.

How It Compares

Vs a plain or non-branded headboard: The Somerton offers a brand-matched fabric range and guaranteed fitment with the Millbrook divan range, along with the reassurance of a 10-year warranty. A generic unbranded headboard may be cheaper, but fitment, fabric matching and the quality of the panelling finish cannot be guaranteed in the same way.

Vs other Millbrook headboards in the range: The Somerton sits at the more textured end of the range, with vertical panelling giving a linear, structured look compared to a plain or bordered panel. Customers wanting a simpler, flatter finish may prefer a plain panel style.

Vs other headboards at Land of Beds: The Somerton offers a distinctive, tailored design at an accessible price point within our wider headboard range. Browse our full Headboard range to compare styles and brands.

10 Year Warranty
