Chesterfield Tall Headboard Bed

Chesterfield Tall Headboard Bed The Chesterfield Tall Headboard Bed is the only deep-buttoned design in the Legend Beds tall-headboard group. A diamond grid of buttoned tufting covers the headboard inside a wide upholstered border, with matching tufting repeated on the footboard and side rails. What makes it different Every other bed in this group creates its pattern by dividing a flat surface — channels, panels, chevrons. Buttoning is the opposite process: the fabric is drawn back at each button and the surplus folds into diagonal pleats between them. The pattern is made of real depth, not surface division. That is why a Chesterfield headboard behaves differently through the day. The pleats cast genuine shadows, so the bed looks deeply sculpted in raking morning light and considerably flatter under a ceiling light at night. A channelled headboard stays much the same in both. Comfort Buttoning has a practical upside that gets overlooked: the padding is deepest between button points, so a tufted headboard is more comfortable to lean against than a flat one of the same thickness. If you read or work in bed, this is the design in the group that supports that best without extra pillows. The fabric Taupe-grey upholstery — warm enough to avoid coldness, deep enough for the shadow lines to register. Buttoning in a pale fabric largely disappears; the tone here is chosen so the diamonds stay legible. Practical notes Tall headboard: measure floor-to-obstruction behind the bed before ordering. Sills, radiator shelves and picture rails are the usual conflicts. Dust settles in the button recesses. A vacuum brush attachment across the diamonds every few weeks keeps the colour even — this is the highest-maintenance design in the group. Fully upholstered side rails and matching tufted footboard; no valance needed. Compare within the range For a similarly traditional feel without the maintenance, see the Horizontal Line Tall Headboard Bed. For a statement of comparable scale in a modern idiom, see the Sunburst Tall Headboard Upholstered Bed. Made to order in the UK Upholstered to order. Buttoning is done by hand once the panel is padded, and the grid is set out to the finished width so the diamonds stay square rather than stretching toward the edges.
