FAQ

Headboards

How do I purchase only the headboard cover?

The purchase of a headboard cover is done in the same section as the headboard and cover kits. You simply click under the relevant size on the desired model, choosing only the headboard cover.

Is the ink used to print the motifs safe for small children?

myQuintus has chosen partners in the Vosges region of France that are certified as Class 1 Oeko-Tex Standard 100. This norm, which is the most severe norm in existence, is used for items for babies and children under 3 years old.

Why not cotton instead of polyester?

We have several reasons for choosing polyester. It doesn't wrinkle, leaving your headboard impeccable at all times. We also like to be able to trace the origins of all materials that we use, which is practically impossible as far as cotton is concerned. And finally, polyester is softer to the touch than cotton.

Are the headboard covers washable?

Our printing technology makes it possible for you to wash your headboard cover in you washing machine with no special precautions. You can even put it in your clothes dryer.

Are myQuintus headboards comfortable?

Our headboards are remarkably comfortable. They are made up of a wooden base structure padded with 4 cm of high density polyurethane foam, the same foam as that used in mattresses.

How do I install the myQuintus headboard?

Our headboards are very easy to install. You just have to stand it on the ground and block it between your bed and the wall. You are provided with hooks for attaching the headboard cover to the wall using the straps on the back of the cover.

Will the myQuintus headboard fit my bed?

Our headboards are compatible with all standard dimension beds of 140, 160 and 180 cm. If you have a round bed, it will be very difficult to satisfy you.

My bed is very high. Is there a way to raise the myQuintus headboard?

Our headboards have been designed to stand on the floor. However, if desired, you can raise your myQuintus headboard thanks to our bracket attachments designed for fixing your headboard onto your bed. We sell them to you at cost to keep the price low. You attach the brackets between the foot of your bed frame and your bedspring and then simply place the headboard on the brackets. (There is also nothing stopping you from hanging it on the wall.)

Can I have my own chosen motif put on the headboard?

It is of course possible to send us your own headboard motifs to totally customise your bed. We invite you to share your project with us and we will send you a commercial proposal, determined according to the size of your headboard and the desired quantities.

What if my bed is not a standard size?

MyQuintus has complete mastery of its production cycle. With the help of our partners, we are able to make our headboards in the dimensions of your choice. We invite you to share your project with us and we will send you a commercial proposal determined according to the size of your bed and the number of headboards to be ordered.

Why don't the luminous bed feet wake me up?

myQuintus bed feet have been designed to not disturb the person who stays in the bed.

We have made sure that the bed foot lights up gradually to softly accompany you as you wake up. And, finally, our bed feet light up only the floor.
