Full length headboards (also known as floor standing headboards) add instant impact to your bedroom. Available in a variety of colours, an upholstered floor standing headboard can add contrast, or bring cohesion to your overall bedroom design aesthetic. Explore our collection of full length, self standing headboards below.
A full free standing headboard is essentially a separate piece of furniture to your bed frame. So, if you’re looking to give your bedroom a makeover more affordably, a full length headboard could be an ideal choice. Especially for anyone intending to buy a new bed at a later date when cash flow is a little less restricted.
The beauty of a floor standing headboard is its ability to seamlessly transition from one bed frame or divan base to the next. Unlike the strutted headboard, which features two legs (aka struts) that are used to attach it to the divan bed base or frame, full length headboards extend all the way down to the floor. This means that a floor standing headboard is also able to support its own weight.
What’s more, there’s many benefits of having a headboard. One of the best things about having a headboard is having something comfy to lean against while reading in bed or watching TV. Not only that though, a headboard also helps to protect your head while you sleep, protect your bedroom wall from becoming scuffed and dirty, and prevent your pillows from falling down the back of the bed during the night!
All in all, headboards are a wonderful investment. But the right one for you will ultimately come down to three main things:
The best floor standing headboard for you is the one that ticks all of those boxes we outlined above. It needs to come in on budget, suit your needs, and fit with your design preferences.
Tick all of those boxes and you’ll be confident that you’re investing in the right full length headboard for you.
Much like all headboards, full length headboards are available in a variety of colours. The right colour for your bedroom ultimately comes down to the matter of personal taste.
A beige floor standing headboard will bring warmth to your bedroom and pairs well with practically any bedroom furniture and colour scheme.
Another choice that’s always on-trend is a grey floor standing headboard. Again, grey usually pairs perfectly with a wide range of colours and design schemes too.
Those who are looking to add a pop of colour to their bedroom might be enticed by a green floor standing headboard. Green is an extremely popular bedroom colour thanks to its grounding nature.
Whichever colour you choose to work into your bedroom design, you’ll find plenty of options here at Bensons for Beds. Simply use the handy filters found at the top of this page to narrow your options down to those designs that are available in your preferred colours!
Our floor standing headboards are available in every UK size ranging from small single right up to super king. If you’re buying one to add to an existing bed frame, choose a headboard that’s the same size. And if you’re not totally sure what size your existing bed frame is, our handy measuring guide can help.

Longevity is key when it comes to investing in furniture for your home. And at Bensons, all of our headboards comes with a minimum 5-year guarantee unless otherwise stated. Some of our headboard designs even come with an extended 8-year guarantee (see individual product descriptions for further details) for total peace of mind.
Other than that, it’s down to design preferences again! A crushed velvet floor standing headboard such as the Staples and Co Bayswater hotel height headboard could be the perfect choice for anyone looking to add a little luxury to their bedroom.
And a winged floor standing headboard such as the Silentnight Dune floor standing headboard is great for those that like to feel cocooned in their beds.
