Headboards

When it comes to deciding if your bed needs a headboard, the answer depends on your personal preference and the style you want to achieve in your bedroom. Headboards not only add a decorative touch but also provide support for your back and neck when sitting up in bed. 

They can transform the look of your bed and overall bedroom aesthetics, making it more stylish and inviting. If you enjoy reading, watching TV, or simply relaxing in bed, a headboard can certainly enhance your comfort, especially when upholstered with a luxurious fabric.

So whilst your bed doesn’t ‘need’ a headboard, the addition of one comes entirely down to personal preference and your needs. Headboards certainly bring various benefits and added style, but your bed doesn’t necessarily need one to function.

There is a wide range to choose from to match your existing decor effortlessly. Whether you prefer bold and vibrant colours or subtle and neutral tones, you can find headboards in various shades to complement your bedroom decor perfectly. From classic hues to trendy colours, the choice is yours to create the desired ambience in your bedroom.

If you’d like a headboard that has earthy and neutral tones, we have a selection of grey tones, such as steel, pebble, slate, pewter and graphite. These colours match well with almost all interior styles, whether classic or modern. 

For a warmer and rustic touch to your living space, choosing soft brown shades such as mink, latte, almond or sand will certainly make you want to dive into your cosy bed at the end of a long day!

If you’re feeling daring and more adventurous, why not go for a vibrant pop of colour? Our bold colours such as mustard, blush pink, navy, silver and emerald make gorgeous choices to make your bed stand out - they’re trending all over the homeware scene right now! 

To really get a sense of what colours look like, why not order a fabric sample from us before you buy?  This way, you can get a real feel for our fabrics and how they look in different lighting - you’ll be able to visualise what your dream bed looks like in no time! 

When it comes to the size of headboards, you can typically find options that fit different bed sizes, ranging from single to king-size beds. Whether you have a compact single bed or a spacious king size, there are headboard sizes available to suit your specific needs. 

Our headboard sizes are available in 6 different options, including small single, single, double, king and superking. Each one is designed to match perfectly with our divan and ottoman bed choices. Whether you’d like a bed that impresses and becomes the main focal point of your bedroom, or you want one that blends seamlessly into your decor, our wide range of headboard sizes can suit your needs and tastes.

Cleaning a fabric headboard is relatively simple and can be done with regular maintenance. To clean a fabric headboard, start by vacuuming it to remove dust and debris and then for any stains or spills, use a mild detergent mixed with water to spot-clean the affected areas. Just ensure that you avoid using harsh chemicals. 

The ideal height for a headboard above the bed varies based on personal preference and the size of the bed. Typically, for a double bed, headboards are positioned around 14 inches above the mattress, whilst for queen and king beds, they usually sit between 28 to 60 inches off the mattress. 

However, specific measurements can be tailored to individual needs and comfort preferences. If you need assistance with determining the perfect height for your headboard, feel free to reach out to us for personalised guidance and support.
