Beautifully designed with sumptuous, fluted detailing, this Retta Headboard can be paired with any Heal’s divan base.

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
The Heal's Retta Headboard is a fantastic choice for adding soft colour and texture to a bedroom. I love its super king size, which makes it ideal for larger beds and creates a balanced, plush look. The linen mix in duck egg lends a calming, sophisticated vibe that pairs well with both contemporary and classic interiors. It works particularly well in understated, minimalist schemes when paired with crisp linens and subtle accessories, or in more eclectic settings where it can serve as a gentle colour anchor. Practical styling tips include decorating around it with layered bedding in coordinating shades, or adding throw pillows in contrasting textures and colours for a personalised touch. Overall, it’s both stylish and functional, making it a versatile piece that enhances the overall aesthetic of the bedroom.

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.
