Headboards Buying Guide

Your bed is an important piece of furniture in the master bedroom. Not only because it’s where you rest after a gruelling day at work but also because it can set the tone and style of your room.

No wonder then that you want to pay attention to the most visible part of your bed, the headboard. A stylish headboard can transform even the dullest bedroom.

In this guide, we share some of our top tips to consider when buying headboards.

Pick the Right Size

Size is the most important aspect to consider when buying a headboard. The headboard must not only fit your mattress but it should also fit in your room. The size of the headboard will depend on the size of your mattress but certain headboards extend beyond the mattress. So be sure to measure your space before you take your pick.

Choose Your Material

Headboards are available in a range of materials and styles. Whether you love the sophisticated look of upholstered headboards or the elegance of solid hardwood headboards, you are spoilt for choice. Wooden headboards, metal headboards and fabric headboards are the most common options.

Some common aspects to consider when choosing a material are your room’s decor, durability requirement and the shades you are after.

Ease of Installation

Most headboards feature hardware that can be attached to standard bed frames. Modern headboards come with interlocking hanging brackets or D-rink hooks so you can install them easily and effortlessly. So be sure to look for ease of installation when choosing a headboard for your room.

Height of the Headboard

If you find yourself sitting upright in your bed, you’d want to invest in a taller headboard. However, if you are the one who goes to sleep as soon as you hit the bed, a shorter headboard will do.

When it comes to aesthetics, a tall headboard will look stellar, especially if your room is large. If you are going for a contemporary look, a low headboard is all you need.

Quality

Although a headboard need not be an investment, it isn’t something you will want to change frequently. So be sure to get a quality headboard that will stand the test of time. You don’t want to end up with a headboard that’s warped or wobbly. Be sure to buy from a reliable supplier to ensure you are getting the best quality headboard.
