Camden Luxury Bed

The Camden Luxury Bed is defined by its headboard and there is no need to say more than that to a buyer who has seen the product. A 70-inch split two-panel headboard in Cream Plush Velvet with a Vogue Gold border is not a background element in a bedroom. It is the room. Everything else, the walls, the bedding, the furniture, reads around it. That is what a statement headboard at this scale does, and the Camden delivers it without complication: a clean, well-proportioned frame, a fabric that carries the height with richness and warmth, and a gold border detail that gives the panel lines definition without the heaviness of ornate decoration.

The headboard is constructed as two separate upholstered panels set into a single tall frame, the split running horizontally across the headboard face at a proportional height that divides the vertical without splitting the visual impact. Each panel is upholstered in the same Cream Plush Velvet, and the Vogue Gold border outlines both panels and the full perimeter of the headboard frame. In the room, the split panel design gives the headboard more visual structure than a single-piece panel at the same height: the horizontal division creates a considered, architectural quality that reads as intentional rather than simply large. At 70 inches, the headboard is among the tallest available in the Macba Beds range and is proportioned for rooms with ceiling height to match.

The footboard carries the design language of the headboard to the foot of the bed: 20 inches tall, the same Cream Plush Velvet upholstery, and the same Vogue Gold border tracing the perimeter. The footboard is not an afterthought. In a bed with a 70-inch headboard, the footboard creates the visual enclosure of a proper bed frame: the sleeping area is defined at both ends, which gives the room a considered, hotel-quality quality that an open-foot frame at the same headboard height does not achieve. The side rails connect headboard to footboard in the same upholstered finish, completing the frame as a unified object.

The Camden is available in double, king, and super king. The 70-inch headboard height is consistent across all three sizes. At super king width the split panel headboard across 180cm of Cream Plush Velvet with the gold border is the most complete expression of the design. At double width the same headboard makes a statement in a well-proportioned room that is entirely out of scale with what a standard headboard delivers. The Camden is not the right bed for every room. It is the right bed for a room that is being built around it, or a room that is ready for a bed that takes it seriously.

KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS

🔹 70-Inch Split Two-Panel Headboard

The Camden headboard stands 70 inches — 180cm — from floor to top, making it one of the tallest headboards in the Macba Beds range. The split two-panel design divides the headboard face with a horizontal seam at a considered proportion, giving the headboard architectural structure at this scale. The gold border traces both panel lines and the full headboard perimeter, defining the geometry cleanly. This headboard fills the wall behind the bed with genuine presence.

🔹 Cream Plush Velvet Upholstery

The Camden is upholstered in Cream Plush Velvet throughout: headboard panels, footboard, and side rails. Cream Plush Velvet is a warm, sophisticated choice at this scale. The pale tone reflects light across the full surface of the 70-inch headboard, giving the bed a luminous, hotel-suite quality that deeper or richer colours do not replicate at the same height. The pile depth of Plush Velvet gives the headboard surface a tactile richness that reads from across the room as well as from close to the bed.

🔹 Vogue Gold Border Detail

The Vogue Gold border traces the panel lines of the split headboard design, the full perimeter of the headboard frame, and the edge of the footboard. The gold border is not heavy ornamentation: it is a precise, fine line that gives the panel geometry definition and adds a warm metallic accent to the Cream Velvet surface. The combination of cream velvet and gold border is the design signature of the Camden. It reads as refined and deliberate rather than decorative.

🔹 Matching 20-Inch Footboard

The 20-inch footboard carries the same Cream Plush Velvet upholstery and Vogue Gold border as the headboard. The footboard closes the foot of the bed and creates the visual enclosure of a proper luxury frame: headboard and footboard defining both ends of the sleeping area. In a bedroom with a 70-inch headboard, the matching footboard is not optional decoration: it completes the proportions of the bed frame and gives the room its correct visual balance.

🔹 Consistent Headboard Height Across All Sizes

The 70-inch headboard height is the same on double, king, and super king. The headboard does not scale down at smaller sizes. At double width the full 180cm headboard height reads as bold and deliberate. At super king the same height across 205cm of frame width is the most complete expression of the Camden design.

🔹 Solid Timber Frame Construction

The Camden is built on a solid timber frame throughout. The construction holds the 70-inch headboard in permanent correct alignment without flex, movement, or any sound from the frame during use. The headboard attachment points are engineered for the full height and weight of the tall luxury headboard.

🔹 Full Upholstery on Headboard, Footboard & Side Rails

The Cream Plush Velvet upholstery covers the full exterior of every component of the Camden frame: both headboard panels, the footboard, and the side rails. No unfinished surfaces, no visible fixings on any exterior face, and no interruption to the consistent cream velvet finish from any angle the room sees the bed from.

🔹 Hotel-Suite Aesthetic

The combination of a 70-inch split panel headboard, Cream Plush Velvet, matching footboard, and gold border creates the aesthetic of a properly dressed luxury hotel suite: a bed that takes up the right amount of the room, is made from the right materials, and has a level of detail that reads as considered rather than accidental. The Camden is the right bed for a room where that standard is the goal.

🔹 Available in Double, King & Super King

The Camden is available in three sizes. The full 70-inch headboard height applies to all three. The footboard and side rail dimensions scale with the base size while maintaining the same upholstery and border specification throughout.

🔹 Free UK Tracked Delivery

Free tracked delivery is included on every Camden order to mainland UK addresses. No minimum spend, no hidden charges at checkout. You will receive a tracking reference by email as soon as your order is dispatched.

🔹 3-Year Warranty

Every Camden Luxury Bed is backed by a 3-year warranty covering the frame, headboard, footboard, and upholstery against manufacturing defects. If anything is not right due to a fault in materials or workmanship, Macba Beds will repair or replace it.

PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS

SIZE GUIDE

All dimensions are approximate and subject to a manufacturing tolerance of plus or minus 2cm. Headboard height is measured from floor level. Ensure adequate ceiling height before ordering: a minimum ceiling height of 240cm is recommended for the 180cm headboard to read correctly in proportion to the room.

ROOM PLANNING GUIDANCE

Ceiling Height

The Camden headboard stands 180cm from the floor. This is among the tallest headboards available in the Macba Beds range and requires adequate ceiling height to read correctly. In rooms with a ceiling height of 240cm or above, the Camden headboard fills the wall appropriately and the proportions of the bed read as considered and correct. In rooms with ceiling heights below 230cm, the 180cm headboard may feel too tall in relation to the available wall space above it. If your ceiling is lower than 240cm, contact the Macba Beds team before ordering to confirm the Camden will read correctly in your room.

Wall Space

The Camden headboard sits flat against the wall with no lateral extension beyond the frame width. Allow standard clearance on each side of the frame for comfortable bed making and access. The split panel headboard benefits from some clear wall space either side of the frame to read as a complete object: very tight positioning against side walls or fitted wardrobes reduces the visual impact of the full frame width at this headboard height.

Wall Treatment

Cream Plush Velvet at 180cm height is a bright, light-reflecting surface. It works best against a wall that does not compete with it. A plain wall in a neutral or complementary tone gives the Camden the cleanest backdrop. The Vogue Gold border is a warm accent: walls with warm undertones in cream, sand, or soft white work well. A dark or heavily patterned wall behind the Camden will compete with the cream velvet surface and reduce the luminous quality that makes this headboard distinctive at this scale.

Bedding

The Cream Plush Velvet Camden reads most clearly when the bedding does not compete with it for the eye. White, cream, and ivory bedding complement the headboard surface and extend the warm, hotel-quality aesthetic of the bed. Rich accent colours in throws and cushions, particularly navy, charcoal, or warm gold, add contrast without competing. Busy patterned bedding at full scale tends to reduce the visual clarity of the headboard as a centrepiece.

Lighting

Cream Plush Velvet responds well to warm lighting. The pile of the fabric picks up the warmth of incandescent or warm LED sources and gives the headboard a rich, luminous quality. Bedside lamps positioned at mattress height and angled slightly toward the headboard will show the split panel detail and the gold border at their best. Cool or very bright overhead lighting tends to flatten the pile and reduce the depth of the cream velvet surface.

DELIVERY & ASSEMBLY

Delivery

Free tracked delivery is included on every Camden order to mainland UK addresses. No minimum spend, no hidden charges at checkout. You will receive a tracking reference by email as soon as your order is dispatched. Standard delivery time is 3 to 5 working days. Deliveries to the Scottish Highlands, Northern Ireland, and some remote postcodes may take a little longer: contact the Macba Beds team before ordering if you need to confirm timescales for your area.

Assembly

The Camden arrives in clearly numbered components. All fixings are included and no additional tools are required beyond a screwdriver. The frame is designed to assemble in approximately 30 minutes. Two people are recommended for the headboard component given its 70-inch height and the weight of the fully upholstered two-panel frame. The side rails connect headboard to footboard with the included fixings. The slat base sits within the assembled frame. The Macba Beds team is available by phone or email if any assistance is needed during the build.

Handling the Headboard

When moving the headboard during assembly, handle the upholstered panels with clean, dry hands. Do not place the headboard face-down on rough or unprotected surfaces: use the packaging material as a protective layer during assembly. The Vogue Gold border at the headboard edges should be handled carefully: the border trim can be susceptible to snagging if dragged across hard surfaces. Always move the headboard vertically or fully supported face-up.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Cream Plush Velvet

Cream Plush Velvet requires attentive care to maintain its appearance at this scale. Use a soft upholstery brush on the pile direction for everyday cleaning of both headboard panels and the footboard. Vacuum on the very lowest setting with an upholstery attachment if needed. For spills on any velvet surface, blot immediately with a clean dry cloth without rubbing: rubbing spreads the spill and can permanently alter the pile direction in the affected area. For marks, spot clean with a lightly damp cloth and a small amount of mild fabric cleaner. Work in the direction of the pile. Leave to air dry completely away from direct heat before remaking the bed.

Maintaining the Pile Direction

Cream Plush Velvet has a pile direction that affects how the fabric reflects light. On a 70-inch headboard, any inconsistency in pile direction across the two panels is visible from across the room. After cleaning, always run a soft brush over the full face of both panels in the same pile direction to restore evenness. A consistent pile direction gives the cream velvet its maximum luminosity and prevents the headboard surface from appearing patchy or unevenly coloured at distance.

The Vogue Gold Border

The Vogue Gold border trim can be cleaned with a lightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal polish on the border detail. The gold finish on the trim is decorative: handle it with the same care as the velvet upholstery and avoid catching it on sharp or rough surfaces during cleaning or when dressing the bed.

Sunlight

Cream Plush Velvet is susceptible to yellowing or uneven fading if subjected to prolonged direct sunlight. Position the Camden away from windows that receive direct sunlight for extended periods, or use window treatments to diffuse light during peak hours. Even fading that occurs evenly across the full headboard face is less noticeable than localised fading in one panel or one section of a panel.

Frame & Fixings

Check and tighten all fixings every few weeks during the first month of use and every few months thereafter. Pay particular attention to the headboard attachment points: the 70-inch headboard height means the leverage on the headboard fixings is greater than on a standard model. Keeping these fixings firmly tightened maintains the correct alignment of the full frame.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: How tall is the headboard exactly?

A: The Camden headboard is 70 inches — 180cm — tall, measured from floor level to the top of the upholstered frame. This height is consistent across all three sizes: double, king, and super king. It is among the tallest headboards in the Macba Beds range. A minimum ceiling height of 240cm is recommended for the headboard to read correctly in proportion to the room.

Q: What is the split two-panel design?

A: The Camden headboard is constructed as two separately upholstered panels set into a single tall frame, with a horizontal seam dividing the headboard face at a proportional height. Both panels are upholstered in the same Cream Plush Velvet and the Vogue Gold border traces the perimeter of both panels and the full headboard frame. The split gives the headboard architectural structure at this scale: it reads as more considered and designed than a single-piece panel at the same height.

Q: What is the Vogue Gold border?

A: The Vogue Gold border is a fine metallic trim that outlines the panel lines of the split headboard, the full perimeter of the headboard frame, and the edge of the footboard. It is a precise, defined line rather than a wide or heavy gold trim: the effect is to give the panel geometry clear definition and add a warm metallic accent to the cream velvet surface without dominating the overall look of the bed. The gold and cream combination gives the Camden its signature aesthetic.

Q: Is the footboard included?

A: Yes. The matching 20-inch footboard is included as part of the Camden frame across all three sizes. The footboard is upholstered in the same Cream Plush Velvet as the headboard and carries the same Vogue Gold border detail. Side rails connecting headboard to footboard are also included and upholstered in matching fabric.

Q: Does the Camden come with a mattress?

A: No. The Camden is sold as a bed frame only with a slat base included as standard. The slat base is compatible with all standard UK mattress types including pocket sprung, memory foam, and hybrid. Mattresses are available separately in the Macba Beds range.

Q: Is it suitable for my room?

A: The Camden is the right bed for rooms with adequate ceiling height (240cm or above) and enough wall space behind the bed to allow the 180cm headboard to be seen in full. It suits rooms being built around the bed as the centrepiece, master bedrooms, and rooms where the current bed is leaving the space underused. It is not the right choice for rooms with low ceilings, alcoves that restrict headboard height, or rooms where a more understated approach is the priority.

Q: Can I order a different fabric or colour?

A: The Camden is offered in Cream Plush Velvet with Vogue Gold border as the standard specification. If you require a bespoke fabric or alternative border colour, contact the Macba Beds team before ordering to discuss what is possible.

Q: How long does delivery take?

A: Standard delivery to mainland UK addresses is 3 to 5 working days. Free tracked delivery is included on every order with no minimum spend. You will receive a tracking link by email once dispatched. For remote postcodes including the Scottish Highlands and Northern Ireland, contact the team before ordering to confirm lead times for your area.

Q: How long does assembly take?

A: The Camden is designed to assemble in approximately 30 minutes. All fixings are included and no additional tools beyond a screwdriver are required. Two people are recommended for the headboard component. The Macba Beds team is available by phone or email if any assistance is needed.

Q: What does the 3-year warranty cover?

A: The 3-year warranty covers the frame, headboard, footboard, and upholstery against manufacturing defects. If anything is not right due to a fault in materials or workmanship within three years, Macba Beds will repair or replace it. Contact the team with your order number to make a claim. Fading from sunlight exposure, staining, or damage from incorrect cleaning is not covered.

Q: What is the return policy?

A: The Camden comes with a 30-day return policy. If you need to return the bed within 30 days of delivery, it must be in the same condition as received, unused, and in its original packaging. Contact the Macba Beds team at support@macbabeds.com with your order number to initiate a return.
