Product Overview

The Sealy Shard is an upholstered headboard with a vertical channel panel design, finished with softly scalloped tops that give a subtle nod to art deco inspired furniture. The Sealy Shard headboard is generously padded for comfort when sitting up in bed and is available in Single, Small Double, Double, King Size and Super King Size, with a panel height of 71cm (28'') in every size. It uses a bed fixing on struts design, with two wooden fixing posts that attach to the back of the divan base, is upholstered in a range of fabrics and colours, has a frame made from FSC certified timber and is backed by a 5 year manufacturer's guarantee. The Sealy Shard headboard is designed for use with Sealy divan bases.

Who Is This Headboard For?

The Sealy Shard is an upholstered headboard with vertical channel panels and softly scalloped tops, available from Single to Super King Size in a range of fabrics and colours, with bed fixing on struts.

Best for

  • Customers with a Sealy divan bed - designed for use with Sealy divan bases, attaching securely via the pre-drilled holes in the base.
  • Customers who want a finished, cohesive look - available in a range of fabrics and colours, so the headboard can be chosen to match or complement your divan base.
  • Customers who like a decorative style with vintage character - the vertical channels and scalloped tops add an art deco inspired edge without feeling overly ornate.
  • Customers who like to read or watch TV in bed - the generously padded panel gives a comfortable surface to lean back against.
  • Customers who do not want to drill into walls - the headboard attaches directly to the divan base, so there is no wall fixing and no damage to paintwork.

Not ideal for

  • Customers with a non-Sealy bed - this headboard is designed for use with Sealy divan bases. Fit on non-Sealy bases cannot be guaranteed.
  • Customers looking for a tall, statement headboard - the Shard has a panel height of 71cm (28''). See our floor standing headboards for taller options.
  • 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.
  • The struts allow you to adjust the height of the headboard when fixing it to the base, so you can set it at the level that suits your mattress and pillows.

Inside This Headboard

Vertical Channel Panels with Scalloped Tops
What it is: An upholstered panel divided into vertical channels, each finished with a softly scalloped top edge. The design gives a subtle nod to art deco inspired furniture while keeping clean, linear lines.
How it helps you: Adds a decorative focal point to the bedroom without dominating the room. The vertical lines draw the eye upwards, giving your bed a more elegant, finished look.

Upholstery & Fabric Choice
What it is: The headboard is generously padded and upholstered over a frame made from FSC certified timber. It is available in a range of fabrics and colours.
How it helps you: The padding gives a comfortable surface to lean against when sitting up in bed, and the choice of fabrics and colours lets you match the headboard to your divan base or complement 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.
How it helps you: The traditional, stable fixing method. The headboard is firmly attached so it does not shift or creak, and the height can be adjusted when fitting. Bolts are delivered with the divan base, not the headboard.

How it Compares

Vs a plain or non-branded headboard: The Shard is made by Sealy and designed for use with Sealy divan bases, so you can be confident it will fit your Sealy base and can be chosen to match it. It also brings a generously padded, decorative channel design, an FSC certified timber frame and a 5 year manufacturer's guarantee. If you simply need a basic headboard for a non-Sealy bed, a generic option may be the more practical choice.

Vs other Sealy headboards in the range: The Shard sits towards the decorative end of the range. It has more character than plain panelled designs thanks to its vertical channels and scalloped tops, but is less ornate than buttoned or tufted styles. If you prefer a completely clean, minimal look, a plain panel design may suit you better.

Vs other headboards at Land of Beds: The Shard is a branded, mid-height strutted headboard that offers a premium name and a statement design without the extra height of a floor standing model. Browse our full headboard range to compare styles, heights and fixing methods.

5 Year Guarantee

The Sealy Shard is backed by Sealy's 5 year manufacturer's guarantee against defects in materials and workmanship. This reflects Sealy's confidence in the quality and durability of their headboards, giving you peace of mind long after delivery.
