Two Pages Header Styles: All 9 Options Explained (2026)

The Two Pages configurator answers your header decision in four questions: your fabric family, your hardware type, your budget headroom, your formality target. Everything else, the fold count, the fullness ratio, the drape rhythm, follows from those four. Nine header options sit on the other side of that filter.

This guide walks the nine as Two Pages sells them, then re-slices them through the same four criteria the site’s configurator applies. If the rod is not up yet, the earliest decision that matters is where you hang the rod, because two of the nine headers only work on a ceiling track and one of them only exists at Two Pages on the Liz Linen.

The 9 Header Options as Two Pages Sells Them

Two Pages ships nine header styles across the catalog, plus a tenth engineered exclusive called Multiway 4-in-1. The brand-native naming is worth flagging up front. What the industry calls a hidden tab Two Pages sells as Soft Top. What the industry calls a triple pinch pleat Two Pages sells simply as Pleated. The nine headers below are in the order the configurator surfaces them, most-common first.

Pleated (Triple Pinch Pleat)

Pleated is the Two Pages name for the classic triple pinch pleat. Three folds are pinched at the base of the header, held with buckram, and the panel drops in 2.5x fullness with vertical creases from top to floor. The look reads tailored and formal.

Pleated is available on five Two Pages fabrics that matter for most rooms: Liz Linen at from $59.99/panel, Kyla Linen Drapery at a similar base, Isabella Heavyweight Cotton at from $89.99/panel, Jawara Linen Cotton Blackout, and Birkin Velvet. For a triple pleat in the heaviest fabric of the catalog, see the Isabella triple pleat review.

Grommet (Eyelet)

Grommet uses metal rings sewn into the header, and Two Pages spec is a 1.6-inch inner diameter across the catalog. That size matters more than the material finish: the rod diameter has to be smaller than the ring or the panel will not slide. Fullness sits at ~2x, the draw is silent, the read is modern and low-effort.

Grommet is stocked on Liz Linen, Birkin Velvet, Heck Solid Acrylic Outdoor, and the Atlanta Room Divider Blackout track kit set. It is the default renter header on the site.

Rod Pocket

Rod Pocket is a fabric tunnel sewn along the top of the panel that slides directly over the rod. The rod disappears from the front, the fullness ratio is low at 1.5x, the look reads casual and cottage. The honest read on rod pocket at Two Pages: it is stocked on Florida Embossed Semi Sheer for a reason, the tunnel friction is fine on 60 gsm sheer and painful above 150 gsm.

If the panel is opened and closed daily, Rod Pocket on mid-weight or heavy fabric is the wrong call. It works for stationary side panels flanking a fixed sheer, not for daily operation.

Tab Top

Tab Top uses visible fabric loops sewn onto the top of the panel that slide over the rod. The fullness runs to ~2x, the look reads casual boho, and the tabs stay visible above the rod. It is a low-cost header on select Two Pages ready-made linen lines and pairs with tension rods better than any other option in the roster.

Soft Top (Hidden Tab)

Soft Top is the Two Pages name for a hidden tab header. The tabs sit behind the panel and are invisible from the front, so the top of the panel drapes in a soft wave that reads similar to a Pleated header from the room side. The fullness sits at 2x rather than Pleated’s 2.5x, and the crease is softer, less structured.

Soft Top costs the same as Pleated on the Liz Linen at from $59.99/panel. For the trade-off between the two on identical fabric, the soft-top hidden-tab review of the same Liz fabric maps the drape difference.

Back Tab

Back Tab uses loops sewn on the back of the panel, hooked through the rod. The rod stays visible above the panel and the fabric drapes in a boho-light rhythm at 2x fullness. Back Tab is one of the four modes on the Jawara Multiway 4-in-1 and it appears rarely as a standalone header on the catalog.

Double Pleat

Double Pleat is a two-fold variant of Pleated. Instead of three pinches per pleat, the panel gathers into two, which softens the vertical crease and reduces the fullness ratio to 2.25x. The look reads semi-formal, useful for dining or living rooms that need drapery presence without the full tailored formality of a triple pleat.

Goblet Pleat

Goblet Pleat is the most formal header in the catalog and the rarest. The pleats are shaped into upright cups reinforced with buckram or wadding, and the fullness climbs to 3x. Two Pages produces Goblet Pleat as a made-to-order option through the trade consult path, not a standard configurator variant. Lead time runs longer than the sitewide 8 to 12 business days.

Ripple Fold (S-Fold)

Ripple Fold uses carrier hooks that clip into a ceiling-mounted or wall-mounted track. The panel drops in a rigid S-fold rhythm at 2x fullness, and the look reads modern and architectural. Picture the S-fold rhythm across a 12-foot picture window on the Liz Linen, that geometry only exists on a track and only on Liz at Two Pages.

Ripple Fold is not stocked on a rod version anywhere in the catalog. The header requires a track, full stop, and the price is from $119.99/panel on Liz Linen, a $60 add-on over the Pleated base.

Multiway 4-in-1 (Two Pages Exclusive)

Multiway 4-in-1 is a single Two Pages engineering exclusive on the Jawara Linen Cotton Blackout. The same panel converts between rod pocket, back tab, tab top, and hook-and-ring modes by re-routing the rod through different construction points. The base price is from $175.98/panel, and the fabric weight is 220 gsm with a 99% blackout rating.

The trade-off is that switching modes is not a daily-use gesture. It takes 10 to 15 minutes and involves unhooking the rod, re-routing, and re-hanging. It is the right header when the rod choice is not final at order time.

By Hardware Type

With the nine headers named, the next filter is what your ceiling or your rod will physically accept. The hardware you already have on the wall (or on the ceiling) caps the header shortlist before the fabric conversation begins. Three hardware categories cover 99% of homes: tension rods, fixed standard rods, and ceiling tracks.

Tension rods

Tension rods run at small diameters, usually under 1 inch, and the mounting surface tolerates limited weight. Rod Pocket and Tab Top are the two headers designed for this. Both slip over a slim rod without stress. Grommet is possible if the rod diameter is under 1.25 inch, because the Two Pages ring is 1.6 inch, but the total system weight has to stay light.

Pleated, Ripple Fold, Soft Top, Back Tab, and Goblet should not go on a tension rod. The header construction expects fixed hardware.

Fixed standard rods

Fixed rods run 1.25 to 2 inch in diameter and mount on brackets screwed into wall studs or masonry anchors. This is the most common install. Grommet and Soft Top are the default choices, Pleated becomes viable with hook-and-ring aftermarket rings, Rod Pocket works if the rod diameter is small enough for the tunnel.

The 1.6-inch grommet ring caps the rod diameter at roughly 1.25 inch for a clean slide. If the rod is thicker, the panel will bind at the top and drag on the draw.

Ceiling tracks

Ceiling tracks are the only path to Ripple Fold at Two Pages. The header uses carrier hooks that clip into the track, not into a rod, and produces the S-fold geometry no rod-mounted header can replicate. Pleated is also track-compatible if paired with hook-and-ring carriers, but the visual signature of the S-fold is exclusive to Ripple Fold.

By Fabric Family

Fabric weight and construction change which headers hang cleanly. A 90 gsm sheer will not hold a triple pinch pleat vertical for long. A 280 gsm heavy cotton will bind at the top of a grommet if the ring is too small. The Two Pages catalog spans six fabric families, and each one has a header shortlist that actually works.

The linens sit around 90 gsm and tolerate every header except Rod Pocket on daily-draw windows. The Two Pages linens are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 textile certification compliant, and the drape is soft enough to render a Pleated top in 38 colorways without pulling the vertical creases loose.

Two Pages fabric family	Weight (gsm)	Headers supported	Base price
Liz Linen (linen blend)	90	Pleated, Soft Top, Grommet, Ripple Fold	from $59.99
Kyla Linen Drapery	110	Pleated	from $69.99
Isabella Heavyweight Cotton	280	Pleated	from $89.99
Jawara Linen Cotton Blackout	220	Pleated, Multiway 4-in-1	from $99.99
Florida Embossed Semi Sheer	65	Rod Pocket, Pleated	from $49.99
Birkin Velvet	340	Pleated, Grommet	from $109.99

The blackout family (Jawara at 220 gsm) is the only fabric engineered specifically for the Multiway 4-in-1 header, and no other Two Pages panel offers the mode-switch feature. If it were my Jawara blackout, I would keep it in the Multiway 4-in-1 mode until the room’s rod choice is final, then commit.

By Pricing Add-On

The pricing math on Two Pages is more predictable than the configurator UI suggests. Seven of the nine headers ship at the fabric base price. Two carry a base-price uplift. Everything else is a size multiplier and a lining add-on. The Liz Linen four-header configurator page is the cleanest place to see the pattern applied.

Promo code JULY applies 20% off sitewide, and free shipping starts at $300. In practice, that threshold is cleared with two panels of Ripple Fold or four panels of any base header. Lead time is 8 to 12 business days for made-to-measure across the catalog, longer for Goblet Pleat.

By Formality Target

The formality ladder is the last filter and the softest. Following classic ASID window treatment specification standards, the headers rank from most to least formal as: Goblet Pleat, Triple Pinch Pleat (Two Pages Pleated), Double Pleat, Ripple Fold, Soft Top, Grommet, Tab Top, Back Tab, Rod Pocket.

The room-by-room defaults follow. Bedrooms and kids’ rooms read casual, so Grommet or Rod Pocket on a semi-sheer are fine. Living rooms and dining rooms read semi-formal to formal, so Pleated or Soft Top on a mid-weight linen is the working default. Formal dining rooms and traditional libraries read formal, so Goblet Pleat or a heavy-cotton Pleated answers the brief.

The 2026 nuance is that the fullness ratio matters more than the header name for the finished read. A Pleated at 2x fullness (cut too tight) will read less formal than a Soft Top at a proper 2.5x. Where Goblet Pleat is the wrong call at Two Pages: it is made-to-order and lead time runs longer than the sitewide 8 to 12 business days, so if the room needs to be dressed for a specific date, Triple Pinch Pleat in a heavyweight fabric is the practical formal default.

What to Do Next

The three-step path from “I need curtains” to “the panel is on the rod” runs the same way for every fabric-and-header combination in the catalog. The order matters more than the pace.

The persona synthesis is short. Renters default to Grommet Liz Linen, low friction, tension-rod-safe. Owners default to Triple Pinch Pleat on Liz or Isabella, formal enough for living rooms without ordering-day surprises. First-home buyers who have not committed to a rod yet default to Jawara Multiway 4-in-1, four hardware modes, one panel, one order.

FAQ

What curtain header styles does Two Pages sell?

Two Pages sells nine header styles across the catalog: Pleated (triple pinch pleat), Grommet (eyelet), Rod Pocket, Tab Top, Soft Top (hidden tab), Back Tab, Double Pleat, Goblet Pleat, and Ripple Fold (S-fold). A tenth option, Multiway 4-in-1, is engineered on the Jawara Linen Cotton Blackout panel and converts between rod pocket, back tab, tab top, and hook-and-ring on the same fabric. Each header sets the fullness ratio, the hardware compatibility, and the formality level of the finished window.

Which Two Pages fabric supports the most header options?

The Liz Linen Drape is the four-header workhorse of the catalog. The same 90 gsm linen blend is offered in Pleated, Soft Top, Grommet, and Ripple Fold at from $59.99/panel base for the first three and from $119.99/panel for Ripple Fold. Liz Linen also ships in 38 colorways, which combined with four headers gives 152 fabric-and-header configurations before size and lining choices.

How much extra does Ripple Fold cost on Two Pages?

Ripple Fold on Liz Linen is from $119.99/panel, a $60 add-on over the same Liz Linen fabric in Pleated, Soft Top, or Grommet (base $59.99/panel). The delta covers the carrier hooks, the track-compatible header construction, and the tighter S-fold sewing tolerance. Ripple Fold requires a ceiling-mounted or wall-mounted track, no rod version exists at Two Pages.

What is Multiway 4-in-1 on Two Pages?

Multiway 4-in-1 is a Two Pages exclusive on the Jawara Linen Cotton Blackout panel at from $175.98/panel. The single panel is engineered to convert between four hardware modes on the same fabric: rod pocket, back tab, tab top, and hook-and-ring. The trade-off is that switching modes involves re-routing the rod through different construction points on the panel, which takes 10 to 15 minutes and is not intended for daily reconfiguration.

Which Two Pages header works with a tension rod?

Rod Pocket and Tab Top are the two Two Pages headers designed for tension rods. Both mount over a small-diameter rod under 1 inch without stress on the mounting surface. Grommet is possible on a tension rod up to 1.25 inch diameter because the Two Pages grommet ring is 1.6 inch inner diameter. Pleated, Ripple Fold, Soft Top, and Goblet Pleat require fixed hardware and should not be used on tension rods.

Does the Two Pages Pleated header cost extra?

No. Pleated (triple pinch pleat) is priced at the same base as Soft Top and Grommet on every Two Pages fabric that offers all three variants. On Liz Linen the three cost from $59.99/panel identically, on Isabella Heavyweight Cotton the Pleated ships at from $89.99/panel, on Kyla Linen Drapery the Pleated ships at the fabric base. The only header that carries a base-price uplift is Ripple Fold ($60 over the fabric base) and Multiway 4-in-1 on Jawara ($175.98 as its own SKU).

What is Soft Top on Two Pages, and how is it different from Pleated?

Soft Top is the Two Pages name for a hidden tab header. The tabs sit behind the panel and are invisible from the front, which lets the top of the panel drape in a soft wave that reads similar to a Pleated header from the room side. The difference is the fullness ratio and the crease behavior: Pleated locks a 2.5x fullness with vertical creases from top to floor, while Soft Top produces a 2x fullness with softer, less structured waves. Soft Top costs the same as Pleated on Liz Linen at from $59.99/panel.

How does the Two Pages configurator handle the header choice?

The configurator sequence on twopagescurtains.com is fixed: Step 1 select the fabric, Step 2 select the header from the options that fabric supports, Step 3 select the size and lining, Step 4 review the total per panel and add to cart. The header decision is locked at Step 2 and cannot be changed after checkout. The one exception is Jawara Multiway 4-in-1, which is a single SKU that ships with all four modes available at home. Code JULY applies 20 percent off at cart and free shipping starts at $300.
