Worth knowing:
Curved Half-Moon Panel
What it is: A single upholstered panel with a sweeping curved top edge and a flat lower edge, creating a half-moon silhouette. The front face is smooth, with no buttons, tufting or wings. The panel height is 68cm (26.8'') across every size.
How it helps you: The rounded shape softens the look of the bed and gives the room a relaxed, modern focal point, while the plain upholstered finish keeps it versatile enough for both contemporary and traditional bedrooms.
Upholstery & Fabric Choice
What it is: The headboard is upholstered and available in a range of fabrics and colours. The fabric is applied over the panel and secured to a frame made from FSC certified timber.
How it helps you: Choosing from the same fabric range as Rest Assured divan bases means you can match the headboard to your divan exactly, or pick a contrasting fabric to make it a feature. The FSC certified timber frame is sourced 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 insert into pre-drilled holes in the divan base and are secured with bolts. Each strut has a slot running along its length, so the headboard can be set at different heights.
How it helps you: The traditional, stable fixing method. The headboard is firmly attached to the base so it does not shift or creak, and the adjustable height lets you position it neatly above your mattress. Bolts are supplied with the divan base, not the headboard.

Vs a plain or non-branded headboard: A generic upholstered headboard can be a sensible budget choice, but fit on your divan base is rarely guaranteed and fabric choice is often limited. The Axel is designed for use with Rest Assured divan bases, is handmade in the UK with an FSC certified timber frame, and is backed by a 10 year manufacturer's guarantee.
Vs other Rest Assured headboards in the range: The Axel is one of the more sculptural designs in the Rest Assured range. Where straight-edged panelled, buttoned or channel-stitched headboards rely on detailing for interest, the Axel relies on its curved outline alone, making it a good choice if you want shape rather than texture. If you prefer a more traditional or decorative finish, a buttoned or panelled style may suit you better.
Vs other headboards at Land of Beds: The Axel is an accessibly priced branded headboard, offering a distinctive shape from a long-established British manufacturer with a simple bed fixing on struts design rather than a larger floor-standing panel. Browse our full headboard range to compare styles, heights and fixing methods.
The Rest Assured Axel is backed by Rest Assured's 10 year manufacturer's guarantee against defects in materials and workmanship, though it does not cover general wear and tear. A guarantee of this length reflects Rest Assured's confidence in the quality and durability of its handmade headboards, giving you long-term peace of mind.
National Bed Federation (NBF) Approved - Rest Assured is an NBF approved member, independently verified to meet strict UK standards for quality, safety and responsible manufacturing across its range.
FSC Certified Timber - Rest Assured uses timber sourced from responsibly managed forests, certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, across its headboard range.
The Rest Assured Axel brings shape and personality to the bedroom without fuss, pairing a curved half-moon silhouette with a clean, upholstered finish. Handmade in the UK and available in a range of fabrics and colours, it is a natural choice for anyone completing a Rest Assured divan set or adding a headboard to a bed that has been missing one.

How does the Rest Assured Axel headboard attach to my bed?
The Axel uses bed fixing on struts. Two wooden fixing posts on the back of the headboard insert into pre-drilled holes in the divan base and are secured with bolts. It is not designed to be mounted on the wall.
Can I adjust the height of the headboard?
Yes. The struts are slotted, so you can set the headboard higher or lower before tightening the bolts, helping it sit neatly above your mattress.
Will the Axel fit a non-Rest Assured bed?
The Axel is designed for use with Rest Assured divan bases. Fit on non-Rest Assured bases cannot be guaranteed.
Are the fixing bolts included with the headboard?
No. The bolts are not supplied with the headboard - they are delivered with the divan base.
Is the Axel the same height in every size?
Yes. Every size has a panel height of 68cm (26.8'') at its highest point and a depth of 8cm (3'').
Made to measure mattresses and divan bases are available – please call 01928 242829.
