Accessories

Furniture accessories have become a large part of our sales figures in recent years. A large part of our trade on the Storage beds website comes from selling divan beds – this type of bed is fabulous as the dimensions are very small due to them being exactly the same size as the mattress and due to them having a universal headboard fitting it means that you can still create the look that you wanted even if you can't fit a complete bed frame into your bedroom.

Headboards come in many different designs now and furniture manufacturers are working hard on coming up with styles that look a little out of the ordinary! A major inspiration for this comes from the boutique hotels that have sprung up all over the place that tend to feature funky, oversized headboards!

Upholstered headboards are the main focus of the boutique look - These are generally over sized and made from plush upholstery fabrics. Boutique style headboards are usually sumptuously padded and offer the ultimate in comfort when leaning against it should you be reading or watching TV in bed.

Leather headboards are very popular at current and they are great for keeping the bedroom free of dust! Leather headboards are now available in a wide range of colours that will suit all manner of interiors and come in a full range of UK sizes. These are also well padded beneath the upholstery and again, create a fantastic back rest! Due to the nature of the fabric on these headboards, you can run a damp cloth over them to keep any dust at bay – this means that a leather headboard is probably a good option for anyone who suffers from allergies.

Metal headboards generally tend to cost less to buy but can still be fantastic in design! Whether you are going for a clean, modern look or a more traditional style in your new bedroom, we have many designs on the Storage Beds website that will suit whatever you had in mind. Cast metal is easily crafted into different shapes now due to modern technology and due to this the metal headboard market is thriving!

Wooden headboards are sturdy and add a really natural look to your bedroom. If you always wanted a wooden bed frame but don't have enough length in the room to take the extra dimension then a divan bed with a wooden headboard is the way to go! It will give the illusion once the bed is made up with bedding that it is a wooden bed!

Pillows are another bed accessory that are selling in their masses! Proper support for the head and neck is important in the quest for a good nights sleep so investing in a decent pillow is a must! The biggest selling type of pillow we have on the Storage Beds website at the moment is the memory foam pillow.

Memory foam pillows come in two different shapes – traditionally shaped and anatomically shaped (fits the curvature of the head and neck). These pillows offer fantastic support for the head and neck and help to keep your esophagus open meaning that your body will receive a better oxygen amount throughout the night and you will wake in the morning feeling much more refreshed! We also now have a range of coolmax memory foam pillows that help to keep your head cooler whilst you sleep.

Latex pillows are also available now. Latex is a natural product that is taken from the rubber tree. It has fantastic elastic properties and doesn't require for the tree to be cut down in the processing of this substance meaning that it is a sustainable product and also because it is naturally sourced it doesn't contain any toxic chemicals which makes it much better for you and the environment! In regards to support, it works in the very same way as a memory foam pillow.
