What is a headboard?
Headboards reside above the bed frames' sleeping end and measure the bed's width. The most common headboard types consist of wood, metal or fabric upholsteries. Headboards purchased as standalone products are often designed and manufactured to fit divan bed bases.
How do I choose the right headboard for my bed?
From a stylistic viewpoint, it's important that your bedroom furniture and colour scheme complement one another to ensure a cohesive aesthetic. This can range from bedside tables, drawers and bedding, all working in conjunction with one another. With a headboard, it isn't a case of one size fits all, and metal beds with headboards, for example, differ greatly from upholstered beds. It's, therefore, important to not consider a headboard in isolation and instead assess its suitability for your bed frame. Another reason why choosing the right headboard for your bed is important is its elevated height and status as the bedroom's focal point; it's important that your headboard represents luxury and the highest quality. Moreover, it's essential that the size of your new headboard matches your bed frame; for example, a king size headboard wouldn't be appropriate for a single bed.

Apart from style, what is the importance of a headboard?
Whilst headboards are renowned for their style, there are many benefits accompanying a headboard; continue reading for further insight.
Neck and back support
An upholstered headboard provides cushioned neck and back support for all the times spent sitting upright in bed.
Ensures pillows remain in place
As trivial as it may sound, in the absence of a headboard, pillows are prone to falling off the sleeping end of the mattress. If this happens frequently, it can pose quite a frustration. A headboard combats this and keeps your pillows securely in place.
Wall protection
If the bed is placed against the wall, a headboard can act as a protective barrier and prevent minor scuffs and damage from occurring.
