Hugo Bridge Bedhead

The Hugo Bridge Bedhead in White Bark is king width at 197cm and 108.5cm high on a 10cm profile. The fabric carries a Martindale rating of 25,000. A matt oatmeal timber frame surrounds it.

A rating of 25,000 is a straightforward domestic figure, and on a bedhead that is entirely adequate. The wear a bedhead takes is light and repetitive rather than heavy, so the number to care about on a pale fabric is not abrasion but how easily it cleans, and a tightly woven polyester blend does better there than anything with a nap.

Oatmeal timber is an unusual frame finish and a useful one. It is warmer than a grey wash and lighter than an oak, so it reads as a soft edge rather than a timber statement, which is what a low bedhead needs if it is not to look like a headboard from a hotel.
