Delorna I Brown California King Headboard

Yes, this headboard is designed to match easily with any standard bed frame. To attach it to an adjustable base, you will generally need a compatible headboard bracket kit provided by your base's manufacturer. Because this is a substantial, hand-upholstered piece made in Illinois, ensuring a secure connection to your base is vital for maintaining the stability of the wingback frame over time.

Since each Delorna I headboard is made-to-order and hand-upholstered in Illinois, it represents a commitment to craftsmanship over mass production. This process allows for a higher level of detail in the curved wingback design and square top. Shoppers should plan for a lead time of up to 6 weeks, as this ensures the piece is manufactured to our rigorous quality standards before being shipped to your home.

A California King mattress is unique because it is narrower (72 inches) and longer (84 inches) than a standard King. This headboard is specifically designed with a 77-inch width to perfectly frame a California King bed. While a standard King headboard is often too wide, this model’s dimensions ensure the elegant wingback design aligns correctly with your mattress, preventing awkward gaps and ensuring a custom, built-in appearance.

This headboard is particularly well-suited for pet owners due to its tightly woven polyester construction. Unlike linen or high-pile fabrics, the smooth "leather-look" surface makes it more difficult for pet hair and dander to become embedded in the fibers. For maintenance, our experts recommend regular dusting with a soft cloth or light vacuuming with a brush attachment to keep the surface pristine and allergen-free.

The wingback silhouette on this headboard features a depth of 11 inches, which is deeper than a traditional flat panel. In urban apartments or smaller bedrooms, it is important to account for this extra foot of depth when measuring the distance from your wall to the foot of the bed. However, the 55-inch height and wrap-around "wings" create a powerful focal point that can actually make a room feel more structured and intimate, often eliminating the need for large-scale wall art above the bed.

The Delorna I utilizes a high-performance 100% polyester fabric engineered to replicate the premium look of leather while offering the breathable comfort of a textile. This material is a hallmark of transitional design, providing the sophisticated aesthetic of a solid-pattern leather headboard with the added durability and easier maintenance of synthetic fibers. It is an excellent choice for those who want a refined look that stands up better to the varying humidity levels found in coastal or southern climates compared to genuine leather.

Based on our expertise with high-performance synthetics, we recommend spot cleaning with a solution of mild soap and warm water for any minor spills. It is important to blot the fabric rather than rub it to preserve the specialized leather-like texture. To maintain the integrity of the material, avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive treatments, which can degrade the polyester fibers and the solid brown finish.
