About this product

+ -

The platform base can either accept traditional headboard mounting struts, sit below a wall mounted headboard or it can be assembled with one of our winged headboards. Being assembled on site there are no access problems.

The platform tops are made from plywood board with strong 18mm plywood bearers and are covered in a Dacron polyfibre wrap. The boards are supported by 3 sturdy cross beams, each with a central foot for superior stability. The combination of these components create an incredibly solid bed base. 

Available with a choice of 4ins (10.2cm) leg styles and colours at footboard.

If you have any queries, email us or give us a call on 01291 628216.

Kingsize Guernsey Bed Base

Using your own fabric

+ -

Providing that your fabric has a useable width of at least 130cm;

Just send us 2.7 METRES of fabric. All fabrics must be supplied with a Fire Retardant Certificate.

If you have a directional fabric which will need to be joined, we need the meterage stated above + 5 vertical pattern repeats.

PLEASE NOTE: Lead time starts from the moment we receive your fabric, trim or any additional components that are required to make your order.

----------

All fabrics must comply with Fire Regulation BS5852 for Cigarette & Match.

There are 3 ways to achieve this:

1. The most cost efficient way to do this is with your fabric supplier, they will ensure that it is accompanied by the necessary certificates.

2. If your fabric has a composition that is 75% or more natural fibre, it may be possible to use a fire retardant interliner. The interliner charge is £109, which you can purchase HERE. We would need proof of the fabric composition when you send it to us.

3. If no certificate is supplied and your material is less than 74% natural fibres, we can arrange fire retardancy treatment for you. The charge for this is £25.00 per metre plus a £30.00 postage and administration fee, and the treatment requires a minimum of 3m of fabric. Fabric treatment usually takes about 10 days and this may extend your delivery date by that amount. This can be arranged with us via email once you have placed your order.

----------

On receipt of your fabric, we will contact you for further instruction if required and then your order will be released into production.

When sending us your material (either from yourself or directly from your supplier), could you kindly;

  • Attach your name
  • Attach your order reference number, which you will receive via email after placing your order
  • Indicate the correct side of the fabric

And finally, the address you need to send your fabric to is;

The Headboard Workshop Ltd, 
Units 10-11 St David's Industrial Estate, 
Pengam, 
Blackwood, 
NP12 3SW.

We will confirm receipt of your fabric when it arrives with us. All excess material will be returned to you with your order.

If you have any queries, email us or give us a call on 01291 628216.

We are so impressed by the individual or team who constructed it. The joining of the fabric is so precise and neat, to the point of being almost invisible…..quite an achievement! Thank you also for keeping us informed at every stage of the process.

Pamela. Monday, July 27, 2026

I cannot recommend The Headboard Workshop any higher. The choice of fabrics and options are best in the market. I requested some fabric samples which came very quickly and the whole process from ordering online to delivery was first class.

James. Wednesday, July 29, 2026

I just wanted to get in touch to say thank you for your help with my headboard order. It arrived yesterday and is so beautiful I could cry. I can't stop looking at it! Thank you as well to the delivery team who took good care with delivery and installation.

Liz. Thursday, July 23, 2026

I was going to drop you a note to say how delighted we are with the new headboard.Thank you for your excellent customer service, delivery ahead of schedule and the delivery men were excellent too.
