Worth knowing
Curved Half-Moon Design
What it is: A single upholstered panel with a flat base and a smooth, sweeping semicircular top edge. No buttons, no tufting and no panelling - the shape itself is the statement.
How it helps you: A softer, more playful alternative to a traditional rectangular headboard. The rounded silhouette adds character to the bedroom and gently frames your pillows without adding visual bulk.
Upholstery & Fabric Choice
What it is: The headboard is upholstered and available in a choice of Silentnight fabrics and colours.
How it helps you: Allows the headboard to be matched to an existing Silentnight divan base or chosen to complement the wider bedroom scheme, whether you want a subtle tonal finish or a bold contrasting shade.
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 sits at panel height against the base and is firmly attached so it does not shift or creak. The height can be adjusted on the struts to suit your mattress and pillows.
FSC Certified Timber
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 headboard that looks good and is made responsibly. Made in the UK supports domestic manufacturing.

Vs a plain or non-branded headboard: A generic upholstered headboard can be a sensible choice if you simply need a budget panel for an unbranded bed. The Axel offers a more distinctive curved design, a frame made in the UK from FSC certified timber, fabrics from the Silentnight range and a 10 year manufacturer's guarantee, along with a design made for use with Silentnight divan bases.
Vs other Silentnight headboards in the range: The Axel sits at the playful, design-led end of the Silentnight range. Compared with rectangular panelled, buttoned or channelled styles, its plain half-moon shape relies on silhouette rather than surface detail. If you prefer a more traditional or more decorative look, a panelled or buttoned design may suit you better, while customers wanting extra height may prefer a floor standing style.
Vs other headboards at Land of Beds: Within our wider headboard range, the Axel is an accessibly priced branded headboard that brings a statement shape without the height or footprint of a floor standing design. It is a strong option for anyone who wants a recognised brand, a long guarantee and a headboard that stands out for its shape.
The Silentnight Axel is backed by Silentnight's 10 year manufacturer's guarantee, which covers defects in materials and workmanship, not general wear and tear. This long guarantee reflects Silentnight's confidence in the quality and durability of its UK-made headboards, giving you peace of mind for years to come.
National Bed Federation (NBF) Approved - Silentnight is an NBF approved manufacturer, independently verified to meet strict UK standards for quality, safety and responsible manufacturing.
FSC Certified Timber - Silentnight uses FSC certified timber across its headboard range, sourced from responsibly managed forests certified by the Forest Stewardship Council.
The Silentnight Axel brings a soft, curved silhouette and a touch of personality to the bedroom, made in the UK and backed by a 10 year guarantee. It is a natural choice for anyone completing a Silentnight divan set or upgrading a bed that has been missing a headboard.
