Relyon Modern Design Headboard

The Relyon Modern Design is an upholstered headboard with a plain padded panel design, available in Single to Super King Size and a range of Relyon fabrics and colours, with a choice of bed fixing on struts or slim fit floor standing fixing.

Best for

• Customers with a Relyon divan bed - the Modern Design is designed for use with Relyon divan bases and lines up with the pre-drilled fixing holes without modification.
• Customers who want a finished, cohesive look - the headboard is available in the same fabric range as Relyon divan bases, so your headboard and base can be matched.
• Customers who prefer a simple, versatile style - the plain padded panel has no buttons, piping or wings, so it suits almost any bedroom scheme and lets the fabric take centre stage.
• Customers who want a choice of height - the 70cm bed fixing on struts version sits neatly above the mattress, while the 135cm slim fit floor standing version creates a taller focal point.
• Customers who do not want to drill into walls - both fixing options attach to the divan base, so there is no wall fixing and no damage to paintwork.

Not ideal for

• Customers with a non-Relyon bed - this headboard is designed for use with Relyon divan bases. Fit on non-Relyon bases cannot be guaranteed.
• Customers looking for decorative detailing - the Modern Design has a smooth, plain front rather than buttons, channels or studs.
• Customers who need wall-mounting - this headboard is designed to attach to the bed base, not to fix to the wall.

Worth knowing

• This is a headboard only. A divan base and mattress are not included.
• Bolts for attaching the headboard to the divan base are not supplied with the headboard - they are delivered with the divan base.
• Both fixing options attach to the divan base. The height of the bed fixing on struts version can be adjusted using the slotted struts, while the slim fit floor standing version is fixed in height.

Plain Padded Panel Design
What it is: A single rectangular upholstered panel with a smooth, padded front and neatly finished edges, with no buttons, piping or wings. On the slim fit floor standing version, a horizontal seam divides the upper panel from the lower upholstered section that runs down to the floor.
How it helps you: A clean, understated look that works with traditional and contemporary bedrooms alike and will not date quickly. The padding gives a comfortable surface to lean against when you sit up in bed to read or watch TV.

Upholstery & Fabric Choice
What it is: The headboard is upholstered and available in a choice of Relyon fabrics and colours.
How it helps you: Choosing from the same fabric range as Relyon divan bases means you can match your headboard to your bed, or pick a contrasting fabric to suit 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. The struts are slotted, so the height of the headboard can be adjusted.
How it helps you: The traditional, stable fixing method. The headboard is firmly attached so it does not shift or creak, and the adjustable height lets you position the panel to suit your mattress depth and how you like to sit up in bed.

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 the wooden fixing posts on its back to the divan base, while the upholstered side posts either sit on the floor or are just slightly elevated.
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, and the floor-to-panel design creates a cleaner, more furniture-like finish than the strut version.

FSC Certified Timber Frame
What it is: The headboard frame is made in the UK from FSC certified timber.
How it helps you: FSC certification confirms the timber is sourced from responsibly managed forests, so you can choose a well-made headboard with confidence in where its materials come from.

Bed Fixing on Struts

Slim Fit Floor Standing

Vs a plain or non-branded headboard: The Modern Design is made to fit Relyon divan bases and is upholstered in the same fabric range, so your headboard and base can be matched. 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 Relyon divan, or simply want a basic headboard for a spare room, a generic option may be the more practical choice.

Vs other Relyon headboards in the range: The Modern Design is one of the simplest styles in the Relyon range, with a smooth padded panel rather than buttons, channels or square panel detailing. It suits customers who want the fabric and colour to do the talking, while more decorative buttoned, panelled or winged styles suit those wanting a bolder focal point. Because it comes in both a bed fixing on struts and a slim fit floor standing version, it works as a neat lower headboard or a taller statement piece.

Vs other headboards at Land of Beds: The Modern Design is a branded headboard that sits above entry-level upholstered headboards, offering brand-matched fabrics, a choice of fixing methods and a long guarantee, while remaining one of the more accessible ways to complete a Relyon bed.
