A Guide To Headboards
Added Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008 at 8:12 am | View Comments
The headboard is simply put the piece of furniture at the head of the bed. It’s basic function is to stop pillows and other things falling down the back of the bed, and also to stop you from hitting your head on the brick wall behind. However, headboards now are seen as more than just a necessity.
Headboards come in all of the required sizes to fit standard size beds, 2FT 6″ Small Single (75cm), 3FT Single (90cm), 4FT Small Double (120cm), 4FT 6″ Double (135cm), 5FT Kingsize (150cm) and 6FT Super Kingsize (180cm). They also are now available in a wide range of different materials, such as fabric, wood, metal and leather.
Like most things in the bedroom, your headboard acts as a style statement, so it’s worth doing a bit of research before you buy one. You should think what material you like, whether you want a simple rectangular design or a more lavish padded design. All of the different materials and designs have their own merits. For example, upholstered headboards give you more comfort where wooden headboards can give you sturdiness.
It’s also worth taking into consideration the design of your bedroom. For example, dark colours can make the room feel smaller where as lighter colours give the illusion of space. You can even match your headboard to the bedstead as some manufacturers create matching headboards to go with their bedsteads or divans.
Bedstar keep a wide range of headboards in stock with next day delivery, so you don’t need to wait forever to add that perfect headboard to your bedroom.

Hello..
We are considering buying three of your ziplink mattresses to furnish a b and b. What we are looking for are upholstered 3 foot headboards which can fit alongside each other when the bed is zipped together. Can you advise me which of your headboards would work in this way?
thanks Phil Carrodus
