Description
The new Monroe headboard effortlessly mixes generous proportions with feminine, sweeping lines. As well as creating a sense of scale and drama, the statement winged design creates a cocoon-like feel for a restful sleep. Produced in the UK, the Monroe headboard, featured here in an understated rustic linen, is available in all Heal's fabrics. Sitting upon a Heal's divan base in the same premium upholstery, this bed is perfect for your own creative escape.
Our Stylist Says
I love this headboard for its clean, understated look and the soft double brushed cotton finish, which adds a touch of cosy comfort. It’s versatile enough to work well in both classic and contemporary interiors - think neutral palettes with textured layers or even a minimalist scheme with metallic accents. Practical styling tips include pairing it with crisp linen or velvet pillows for a layered feel, or keeping accessories minimal to highlight the gentle texture of the fabric. It’s also great for creating a relaxed, inviting bedroom vibe and can be easily dressed up with colourful throws or kept refined with monochrome bedding.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
