There’s something for everyone in the Sleep Story range, made in Britain and exclusive to Furniture Village. Whether your ideal mattress is traditional and tufted, pillow topped and pocket sprung, or microquilted and foam layered, you’ll find the promise of a wonderfully comfortable night’s sleep waiting for you right here. Pair your perfect mattress with a beautifully-upholstered, platform-top or sprung divan base, choose the spacious built-in storage that works for you – optional drawers, end-lift ottoman or side-lift ottoman – and complete the look with a stylish headboard. With a wide choice of traditionally handcrafted mattresses – including convenient roll up mattresses – storage divans and designer headboards, the incredible-value Sleep Story collection is tailor-made in the UK, just for you. With its beautiful buttoning, the Sleep Story Austen floor standing headboard exemplifies traditional craftsmanship and fine tailoring. It’s the perfect way to bring a touch of sophisticated style to any bedroom, classic or contemporary. Handmade in Britain, this headboard is fully upholstered from floor to headboard top, for an entirely elegant appearance. It’s offered in all standard divan bed sizes and in a choice of gorgeous fabrics and colours. Exclusively available at Furniture Village, the Sleep Story Austen floor standing headboard is one of several headboards in the Sleep Story collection.
I love the Austen floor-standing headboard’s versatile design, making it suitable for a range of interior styles from contemporary to classic. Its tufted fabric adds a touch of texture without feeling overly ornate, so it works well in both neutral, minimalist bedrooms and more eclectic spaces. For styling, consider layering with soft throws and cushions in complementary colours to add comfort and visual interest. It pairs particularly well with cosy, understated decor but can also be dressed up with metallic or patterned accents for a more luxurious look. Practical tips include positioning it against a clean wall with good lighting, highlighting its elegant lines without crowding the space with additional furniture.
