Description
Beautifully designed with sumptuous, fluted detailing, this Retta Headboard can be paired with any Heal’s divan base. Each Retta Headboard is handcrafted in Lancashire by a family-run factory to the highest possible standard. It features a solid timber and composite board frame, with foam padding, stitched detailing and premium fabric upholstery for the ultimate finish.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Retta headboard for its sleek, understated design and plush velvet finish, which adds a touch of luxury without feeling overly formal. Its deep charcoal tone makes it highly versatile, working beautifully in modern, contemporary, or even more eclectic interiors, especially when paired with soft, textured bedding and layered accessories. For styling tips, consider keeping bedside tables minimal or adding metallic accents for a little contrast. Layering with cushions or throws in different textures and colours can also elevate the look, making the overall bed space feel more inviting and polished. This headboard really lends itself to spaces that seek a blend of comfort and style, and its rich velvety texture can ground a light colour scheme or complement darker, moody palettes.

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.
