The Ponsonby Headboard is a seamless minimalist velvet headboard that finishes the room with refined, understated elegance. A smooth, single panel face keeps the look clean and modern, while the plush velvet and careful cushioning make it a comfortable backrest for sitting up in bed. Because it bolts onto the bed base rather than the wall, it suits renters and anyone who wants a calm, designer upgrade without drilling, and it lifts a plain existing base. Part of Dreamland's New Zealand bedroom range, the Ponsonby is sized and finished for NZ homes and comes in Queen, King and Super King, each 132 cm high, in four shades.

  • Smooth, seamless single panel face for a refined, understated focal point.
  • Plush velvet upholstery with careful cushioning for comfortable support in bed.
  • Four colours in plush velvet: Ivory, Navy Blue, Storm Grey and Eclipse Black.
  • Simple bolt slot fitment for most New Zealand bed bases, with no wall fixing, so it suits renters and easy room updates.
  • Sized and finished for NZ homes in Queen, King and Super King, each 132 cm high.

Good to know

What sizes does the Ponsonby come in, and what are the measurements?

The Ponsonby comes in Queen, King and Super King, each 132 cm high and 10 cm thick. Queen is 153 cm wide, King is 167 cm wide, and Super King is 183 cm wide. Choose the size that matches your bed base.

Will the Ponsonby fit my bed?

The Ponsonby is designed to fit standard New Zealand Queen, King and Super King bed bases, so match the headboard size to your base. It attaches with standard NZ M8 bolt slots to most NZ bed bases, rather than fixing to the wall.

How does the Ponsonby attach, and are the bolts included?

The Ponsonby attaches with standard NZ M8 bolt slots to the mounting points on your bed base, not to the wall. No bolts are included with the headboard: the mounting bolts come with your headboard ready base, and for a base that does not supply them, use standard NZ M8 bolts. Match the headboard size to your base.

What colours does the Ponsonby come in?

The Ponsonby comes in plush velvet in four colours: Ivory, Navy Blue, Storm Grey and Eclipse Black. The range runs from soft and light to deep and dramatic.

What is the Ponsonby made of, and how do I care for it?

The Ponsonby has high density foam cushioning under a plush velvet cover, in a smooth single panel. Vacuum the velvet on low suction with an upholstery attachment to keep the pile lifted, and blot any marks with a clean, lightly damp cloth rather than rubbing or soaking the fabric.

Who is the Ponsonby best suited to?

The Ponsonby suits anyone who wants a calm, minimalist focal point rather than a heavily detailed one: it is a good choice for modern rooms, for renters and others who cannot or prefer not to fix a headboard to the wall, and for lifting a plain or older base. It works as a standalone upgrade or paired with a Dreamland bed base.
