Worth knowing
Minimalist Curved Design with Button Detailing
What it is: A single upholstered panel with a softly curved outline, gently rounded corners and shaped sides. A row of three buttons runs across the upper section of the panel, adding a neat finishing detail without full deep buttoning.
How it helps you: The curved shape softens the look of the bed and creates an understated focal point, while the restrained button detail adds a tailored touch that suits both modern and more classic bedrooms without dating quickly.
Upholstery & Fabric Choice
What it is: The Austen is made in the UK and is available in a range of Silentnight fabrics and colours. The fabric is applied over an FSC certified timber frame.
How it helps you: Choosing from the Silentnight fabric range makes it easy to coordinate the headboard with a Silentnight divan base and the rest of your bedroom, and the upholstered finish gives you a soft surface to lean against when sitting up in bed.
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 headboard can be set at your preferred height before the bolts are tightened.
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 line it up neatly with your mattress. Bolts are supplied with the divan base, not the headboard.

Vs a plain or non-branded headboard: The Austen is made in the UK, available in Silentnight's own fabric range so it can be matched to a Silentnight divan base, and backed by a 10 year manufacturer's guarantee, which is longer than many unbranded headboards offer. If your bed is not a Silentnight divan, or you simply want a basic headboard at the lowest possible price, a generic upholstered design may suit you better.
Vs other Silentnight headboards in the range: The Austen sits at the minimalist end of the range. Its curved outline gives a softer look than square or panelled designs, and its single row of buttons is far more subtle than a fully deep-buttoned or Chesterfield style. If you prefer horizontal or vertical line detailing, a square panelled look or a taller floor standing design, other styles in the Silentnight headboards range may be a better fit.
Vs other headboards at Land of Beds: The Austen is a branded headboard with a strutted fixing, suited to customers who want a UK made, understated finish for a Silentnight divan without moving up to a larger, taller design. Browse our full headboards range to compare styles, sizes and fixing methods.
The Silentnight Austen is backed by Silentnight's 10 year manufacturer's guarantee against defects in materials and workmanship in the frame and upholstery. The guarantee does not cover general wear and tear. It reflects Silentnight's confidence in the quality of its UK made headboards and gives you long-term peace of mind.
National Bed Federation (NBF) Approved - Silentnight is an NBF approved manufacturer, independently verified to meet strict UK standards for quality, safety and responsible manufacturing.

read moreHow does the Silentnight Austen headboard attach to the bed?
The Austen uses bed fixing on struts. Two wooden struts on the back of the headboard line up with the pre-drilled holes in the divan base and are secured with bolts. The struts are slotted, so you can set the headboard at your preferred height before tightening the bolts.
How tall is the Silentnight Austen headboard?
The Austen has a panel height of 68cm (27'') and a depth of 8cm (3'') on every size. Only the width changes, from 90cm (3ft) for a Single to 180cm (6ft) for a Super King Size.
Can I use the Silentnight Austen headboard on a non-Silentnight bed?
Designed for use with Silentnight divan bases. Fit on non-Silentnight bases cannot be guaranteed.
Are the bolts included with the Silentnight Austen headboard?
No. The bolts used to attach the headboard are delivered with the divan base, not with the headboard.
Is the Silentnight Austen a deep-buttoned headboard?
No. The Austen has a single row of three buttons across the upper section of the panel. This gives a subtle, tailored detail rather than the heavily tufted finish of a deep-buttoned design.
