Our stylish headboards help make a bedroom feel more comfortable and complete, with some people considering a headboard a must for a solid night’s sleep.

Transform your bedroom with the perfect headboard

A headboard is more than just an accessory for your bed; it can dramatically enhance the look and feel of your bedroom. From providing back support to adding a touch of elegance, headboards come in various styles and sizes to suit your needs.

Modern headboards with storage and style

Headboards are largely used for the look and feel they lend a room in today’s better-insulated homes. This means that the variety of materials and designs has increased significantly as the practical purpose of being a barrier is typically no longer required. So go ahead and embrace the breezy look of a boho rattan headboard or whatever catches your eye!

Still want your headboard to serve a purpose beyond aesthetics? Our headboards with storage are the modern answer. Shelves help keep everything you need at your fingertips without visually overwhelming your space as you’re trying to get a restful sleep. Keep clutter at bay and create a sense of calm, all without sacrificing the convenience of having a home for your phone, alarm clock, books, drinking glasses, jewelry, tissues and more!

What are the benefits of a headboard?

A headboard does more than just frame your bed; it completes the overall aesthetic of your room. If you enjoy reading or watching TV in bed, a headboard offers a comfortable backrest. An upholstered headboard, in particular, provides excellent support for your back and neck, making your bedtime routine even more enjoyable.

Are headboards still popular?

Absolutely! Headboards are still a popular choice for many, primarily for their decorative appeal. They can significantly elevate the look of your bedroom, even in smaller spaces where a full bed frame might be too bulky. Small headboards and double headboards are particularly great for compact rooms, offering style without overwhelming the space.

Can you purchase a headboard separately?

Yes, you can definitely buy a headboard on its own and attach it to your existing bed frame. Just make sure to choose one that matches the size of your bed—whether it's a twin, full, king, or queen—to ensure a cohesive look.

Choosing the right headboard for your space

When selecting a headboard, consider the size of your room and the style you want to achieve. Small headboards are perfect for minimalist spaces, while double headboards offer a balanced look for medium-sized rooms. Wooden headboards bring a classic touch, whereas upholstered options add a luxurious feel.

Maintaining your headboard

To keep your headboard looking fresh and new, regular maintenance is key. For upholstered headboards, a quick vacuum with a brush attachment can remove dust and debris. Wooden headboards benefit from occasional polishing to maintain their shine and prevent scratches.
