Choose a Right Headboard for Your Bed

When selecting the right headboard, don't forget to consider the dimensions of your room, bed frame, and comfort needs. One with padding or upholstery is great for back support if you prefer sitting up in bed and reading or watching TV. Wall-mounted are ideal for small bedrooms, saving space while being stylish. Wooden strutted ones are better for traditional rooms.
Also, don't forget the height of the headboard—taller ones make a big fashion statement, and lower ones are subtle. Think about positioning the headboard in relation to the size of your bed; for example, super king size headboards require more roomy wall space. Not just aesthetic considerations are necessary—choices of material need to be easy to clean, and robust fittings ensure security and longevity. We help you choose a headboard to suit your lifestyle and finish off your bedroom to perfection.

Types of Headboards

Different types of headboards based on how they are made and how they are mounted on the bed or wall exist, each of which serves a specific purpose for other room layouts.

Wooden Strutted Headboards

These headboards consist of wooden legs (struts) mounted on the bed base. They are ideal for conventional bed arrangements. Wooden strutted headboards seem natural and classic, making them perfect for traditional settings. Simple to fit, they are lightweight and available in a variety of finishes to match your furniture. It is ideal for those who like simplicity and a rustic look.

Floor Standing Headboards

Stand-alone headboards are freestanding on the ground and usually measure about 46 inches in height. They are stronger and steadier, best suited for larger bed sizes like king or super king size headboards. They are easy to install as they are mounted directly on the bed base, providing extra support and a smooth vertical run behind your bed.

Wall Mounted Headboards

Wall-mounted headboards are actually placed directly on the wall behind your bed. They're fantastic space-savers and will accommodate small or large headboards. This type gives a floating effect and offers a clean, modern feel to any bedroom. They're perfect in small bedrooms or where there is limited floor space. Wall mounting is also adjustable so that it fits your bed and room decor perfectly.

Split Headboards

Split headboards are built in two halves so they can smoothly pass through thin staircases or corridors—perfect for most UK houses. When assembled, the two parts are merged to look like a single headboard. This is an excellent option for double bed headboards and larger sizes. They are still strong and stylish despite being split.
