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 Heal’s Retta headboard for its practical yet stylish approach-its lift-up, built-in storage makes it perfect for bedrooms where space is at a premium. The Tejo recycled ochre fabric adds warmth and a contemporary feel, making it versatile enough to work in both modern and eclectic interiors. Styling-wise, pairing it with simple bedding and minimal accessories works well, allowing the colour and texture of the fabric to stand out. You could also introduce pattern or colour through throws or cushions to create a layered look. Its clean lines and practical design make it suitable for both master bedrooms and guest rooms, especially where functional storage is a priority without compromising on style.

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.
