Not ideal for
Worth knowing:
Modern Buttoned Panel with Curved Corners
What it is: A single padded, upholstered panel with softly curved corners and button detailing set in rows across the front face. A contemporary take on the classic buttoned headboard.
How it helps you: The button detailing adds texture and interest without looking fussy, so the headboard suits both modern and traditional bedrooms. The curved corners soften the overall shape and the padding makes it comfortable to lean against.
Upholstery & Fabric Choice
What it is: The headboard is upholstered and available in a choice of fabrics and colours from the Vispring range.
How it helps you: Allows the headboard to be matched to an existing divan base or chosen to 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. The slots in the struts fit over the bolts in the head end of the divan base, and the bolts are then tightened to clamp the struts in place.
How it helps you: The traditional, stable fixing method. The headboard is firmly attached so it does not shift or creak, and the slotted struts let you set the headboard at the height that suits your mattress.
Euro-style 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. This option slots onto the divan base via metal brackets on the back of the headboard, which slide down into matching brackets on the divan.
How it helps you: The metal bracket system holds the headboard securely against the base and gives a stable, floor-to-panel finish. Because the brackets simply slide together, it can be easier to install and reposition.
Bolt-through 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. This option bolts directly through the headboard into the divan base, with the mounting holes hidden behind a fabric flap held down by Velcro on the back of the headboard.
How it helps you: A direct, secure fixing method that firmly connects the headboard to the base. Gives extra support and stability to the headboard, and the fabric flap keeps the back looking neat once fitted.

Vs a plain or non-branded headboard: The Vispring Achilles is handcrafted in Great Britain, upholstered in Vispring's fabric range and designed for use with Vispring divan bases, with a choice of three fitting options. A generic upholstered headboard will cost considerably less and may suit a customer with a non-Vispring bed, but it will not offer the same fabric matching, fitting choice or level of finish.
Vs other Vispring headboards in the range: The Vispring Achilles sits in the buttoned part of the Vispring range, offering more texture and detail than a plain panel design while staying lighter in style than deeply panelled or winged statement headboards. At 80cm (31.5'') above the mattress, it is a mid-height option. Customers wanting a cleaner, unbuttoned look or a taller, more dramatic headboard may prefer other designs in the Vispring headboard range.
Vs other headboards at Land of Beds: The Vispring Achilles sits at the premium end of our headboard range, reflecting Vispring's handcrafted construction and luxury positioning. For customers who want a floor-to-panel look from other brands, our floor standing headboards offer a wider choice of styles and price points.
The Vispring Achilles is backed by Vispring's 2 year manufacturer's guarantee, which covers defects in materials and workmanship, not general wear and tear. It gives you peace of mind that your headboard has been made to a high standard and will be put right if a manufacturing fault appears.
National Bed Federation (NBF) Approved - Vispring is an NBF approved manufacturer, independently verified to meet strict UK standards for quality, safety and responsible manufacturing.
FSC Certified Timber - Vispring headboards are made using timber sourced from responsibly managed forests, certified by the Forest Stewardship Council.
The Vispring Achilles brings a modern buttoned look and padded comfort to the head of your bed, with a choice of three fitting options. Handcrafted in Great Britain and available in a range of fabrics and colours, it is the natural finishing touch for a Vispring divan bed.

Vispring is committed to sustainable manufacturing practises, using eco-friendly materials and processes in producing their products. Vispring makes exceptionally comfortable beds and mattresses.
What is the difference between the three fixing options?
Bed fixing on struts uses two wooden struts on the back of the headboard, which are bolted to the head end of the divan base and can be adjusted for height. Euro-style floor standing extends to the floor and slots onto the divan base via metal brackets. Bolt-through floor standing also extends to the floor and bolts directly through the headboard into the divan base. None of the options require wall fixing.
What sizes is the Vispring Achilles available in?
The Vispring Achilles is available in Small Single, Single, Small Double, Double, King Size, Super King Size, Small Emperor and Emperor. Every size has a panel height of 80cm (31.5'') measured from the top of the mattress and a depth of 11cm (4.3'').
Will the Vispring Achilles fit a non-Vispring bed?
The Vispring Achilles is designed for use with Vispring divan bases. Fit on non-Vispring bases cannot be guaranteed.
Are the fixings included with the headboard?
No. Fixings for all three fitting options are supplied with the Vispring divan base, not with the headboard.
What does the button detailing on the Vispring Achilles look like?
The buttons are set in neat rows across the padded front panel, giving a tailored, textured finish. Combined with the softly curved corners, the design is a modern take on the classic buttoned headboard rather than a heavily tufted style.
