ALICE CURVED HEADBOARD UPHOLSTERED BED FRAME

The Alice Curved Headboard Upholstered Bed Frame is a bed that leads with its shape. The sweeping curved headboard a full, generous arch that rises from both sides and meets at a high central point is not a subtle design detail. It is a statement that changes the character of the room it goes into. In a bedroom that has been carefully put together, the Alice is the piece that pulls everything else into focus. In a room that is still finding its direction, it gives it one.

The curve of the Alice headboard works across every fabric and colour option. In Plush Velvet, the sweep of the arch catches and reflects light along its length, giving the headboard a depth and drama that flat-topped beds cannot achieve. In Boucle or Linoso, the same curve reads as softer and more organic closer to a piece of sculptural furniture than a standard upholstered panel. In Naples, the weave texture adds a layer of visual interest to the curve that makes it look genuinely hand-crafted. The shape is the constant the fabric changes what kind of room it belongs in.

The Alice is available in over 25 fabric and colour options across five ranges Plush Velvet, Naples, Boucle, Linoso, and Marble so the curve can be dressed in exactly the right material for your bedroom. Under the upholstery, the frame is built from solid timber and engineered hardwood, with a full-width solid wood slat base included for consistent mattress support across the entire frame.

Optional drawer storage adds two or four built-in drawers to the base with no visible fixings on the exterior.

Every Alice Curved Headboard Upholstered Bed Frame comes with a 100-day free trial and a 5-year warranty time to be certain, and cover for the long term once you are.

KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS

🔹 Signature Sweeping Curved Headboard

The Alice's full-arch curved headboard is the reason this bed exists. The curve rises generously from both sides and meets at a high central point, creating a sweeping silhouette that is unlike a flat panel, a scallop, or a wing. It is a shape that has presence in the room not just behind the bed but from across the space. The arch carries through every fabric option and every headboard height, and it reads as confidently at 40 inches as it does at 60.

🔹 The Curve Changes With the Fabric

One of the things that makes the Alice genuinely interesting is how differently the same shape behaves across the fabric options. In Plush Velvet the curve reflects light along its length and gives the headboard a sleek, dramatic quality. In Boucle the arch softens and becomes more sculptural. In Naples the weave adds texture to the sweep and makes it look more artisanal. Choosing the fabric for the Alice is choosing what kind of room you want to create the shape is consistent, but the character shifts completely.

🔹 25+ Fabric & Colour Combinations

Over 25 options across Plush Velvet, Naples, Boucle, Linoso, and Marble give you genuine choice over the direction the Alice goes in. From rich, deep velvets in Steel, Black, or Navy through to soft neutrals in Cream Boucle or Oatmeal Marble the Alice can be configured to lead a room or to settle quietly into one. Not sure which fabric to choose? Request a sample before ordering.

🔹 Solid Timber & Hardwood Frame

The Alice is built from solid timber and engineered hardwood throughout. The curved headboard is constructed over a solid timber frame that holds the arch in shape correctly over time not a flat panel bent into position, but a headboard built to the curve from the start. The base stays flat, firm, and silent through years of daily use.

🔹 Solid Wood Slat Base Included

A full-width solid wood slat system is included as standard, providing even mattress support right across the frame. Compatible with all standard UK mattress types pocket sprung, memory foam, and hybrid and arrives ready to fit straight out of the box.

🔹 Optional Under-Bed Drawer Storage

Add two or four drawers at checkout and choose which side they open from. Drawers are built into the base and sit flush with the exterior no visible fixings, no disruption to the frame beneath the curved headboard. The Alice looks as considered from the side as it does from the front.

🔹 Four Headboard Heights Up to 60 Inches

Choose from 40, 48, 54, or 60 inches measured floor to the top of the arch. The full sweep of the Alice curve is most impressive at the 60 inch setting the arch is at its most generous and the headboard makes the strongest statement in the room.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Upholstery (All Fabric Ranges)

Use a soft upholstery brush or vacuum on a low setting for everyday cleaning, moving in the direction of the fabric. Pay attention to the curved section of the headboard the change in angle means dust can gather along the curve differently to a flat panel, so work methodically from one side of the arch to the other. For spills, blot immediately with a clean dry cloth do not rub. For marks, use a lightly damp cloth with a small amount of mild fabric cleaner and leave to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Do not use a steam cleaner. Keep the headboard out of prolonged direct sunlight to preserve the fabric colour and texture over time.

Curved Headboard Structure

The curved headboard is built over a solid timber frame and holds its shape correctly under normal use without any special maintenance. Do not apply pressure to the curve from the sides or attempt to alter its shape the arch is structural and any force applied against the curve could stress the upholstery or the internal frame. Treat it as you would any quality upholstered furniture.

Frame & Drawers

Check and tighten all fixings every few weeks, particularly during the first month of use. This keeps the frame solid and the headboard attachment secure. If drawer runners begin to stiffen, a small amount of candle wax or dry lubricant along the track will restore smooth operation quickly.

Slat Base

Check the slats periodically to ensure they are all seated correctly in their holders. Press any shifted slat back into place by hand. Keeping slats evenly distributed gives the mattress consistent support right across the frame.

SECTION 10 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: How big is the curve on the Alice headboard is it subtle or dramatic?

A: The Alice headboard has a full, generous arch not a subtle scallop or a small curve at the top edge. The arch rises from both sides and sweeps up to a high central point, giving the headboard a strong, distinctive silhouette that is clearly visible from across the room. At the 60 inch height setting it is the most dramatic version of the shape. At 40 inches it is more compact but still unmistakably curved. If you want a bed with a headboard that genuinely changes how the room looks, the Alice delivers that.

Q: Does the curved headboard look the same in every fabric?

A: The shape is the same, but the character shifts significantly with the fabric. In Plush Velvet the curve reflects light along its length and gives the headboard a sleek, high-impact quality particularly in deeper tones like Steel, Black, or Navy. In Boucle the arch looks softer and more sculptural warmer and more relaxed. In Naples the weave texture adds a layer of artisanal detail to the sweep. In Linoso and Marble the curve reads as clean and contemporary. Choosing the right fabric for the Alice is worth taking time over a fabric sample is available on request.

Q: Is the curved headboard structurally sound will it hold its shape?

A: Yes. The curved headboard is built over a solid timber frame that is shaped to the arch from the start it is not a flat panel bent into position. The upholstery is applied over the solid curved structure and holds its shape correctly through normal everyday use. Do not apply sideways pressure to the arch or attempt to move the bed by pushing against the headboard curve, but under normal use it is as structurally robust as a straight-topped headboard.

Q: Which size shows off the curved headboard best?

A: The arch scales with the width of the bed, so the wider sizes give the curve more room to sweep and make the shape more impressive. A super king Alice in Plush Velvet at 60 inches is the most striking version of the bed the full sweep of the arch at maximum width and height is genuinely dramatic. That said, even a single Alice has a strong curved silhouette the shape works at every size, just with different proportions.

Q: How long does delivery take and is it actually free?

A: Yes free tracked delivery is included on every order to mainland UK addresses. No minimum spend, no extra charges at checkout. You will receive a tracking link by email once your order has been dispatched. If you are in a remote area such as the Scottish Highlands or Northern Ireland, contact the Macba Beds team before ordering to confirm lead times for your postcode.

Q: Will this bed fit a standard UK mattress?

A: Yes. Every size of the Alice is made to standard UK mattress dimensions, so your mattress will fit properly with no gaps or overhang. If you are buying a mattress from outside the UK, double-check the measurements against the frame dimensions on the product page before ordering.

Q: How hard is it to put together and how long does it take?

A: Straightforward. Most customers complete the full build in under an hour. Every part is numbered, all fixings and an Allen key are included, and the curved headboard arrives pre-finished and attaches to the base in a single step the curve is already built in. If you have added drawers, they slot in as part of the same build. The Macba Beds team is on hand if you get stuck.

Q: Does the bed make noise or creak?

A: Not when assembled correctly. The solid timber and hardwood construction keeps the frame quiet under normal use. The most common cause of noise is loose fixings make sure everything is fully tightened during the build and check again after the first couple of weeks.

Q: Can I get a fabric sample before I order?

A: Yes fabric samples are available on request. Because the fabric changes the character of the Alice curve significantly, seeing the material in your room before committing is particularly worthwhile. Contact the Macba Beds team and they will send out samples for your shortlisted choices.
