The right headboard can bring together your bedroom décor without making the room feel over-designed. Choose a style that works with your bed, furniture, bedding and existing colour scheme.
For added comfort, upholstered headboards and padded designs provide a soft backrest when sitting up in bed. If appearance is your main priority, look at the shape, height and detailing of each design to find a headboard that suits your interior.
Before buying, consider your bed frame, bed base, available space and the way the headboard will be fitted. This helps ensure your new headboard looks right and works properly with your bed.
Headboard Styles
Headboards come in different shapes, finishes and fitting options. The best choice depends on the look you want, how you use your bed and the level of comfort you need.
Upholstered & Padded Headboards
An upholstered headboard is a practical choice if you want both style and comfort. A padded headboard provides a softer surface to lean against, making it useful for reading, relaxing or sitting up in bed.
A fabric headboard can also add texture and warmth to your bedroom. When comparing different designs, consider the upholstery, padding, colour, height and overall dimensions so the headboard works with your room.
Floor Standing Headboards
A floor standing headboard runs down to the floor behind the bed, giving it a larger and more substantial appearance. It can work particularly well when you want the headboard to act as a strong focal point in the bedroom.
Because floor-standing designs can vary in height and width, check the product's dimensions and fitting information before ordering. The right proportions will help the headboard sit comfortably with your mattress and bed base.
Other Headboard Designs
Headboard designs range from simple, clean shapes to more detailed options. Depending on the available collection, features such as buttoned detailing, panelled designs or winged headboards can add a different character to your bedroom.
Think about your existing bedroom style, furniture and bedding before choosing. A simple design can suit a modern room, while more detailed upholstery can work well in a traditional or luxury setting.
Headboards by Bed Size
Choosing the correct headboard size is important for both appearance and compatibility. The headboard should suit the width of your bed or base, while its height should work with your mattress and bedroom layout.
Always check the exact product dimensions and fitting method before ordering, as headboard measurements can vary between designs.
Single Headboards
A single headboard is made for a single bed and works well in smaller bedrooms, guest rooms and other compact spaces. Check the width and fixing points against your existing bed before choosing.
Small Double Headboards
A small double headboard is designed for a small double bed and is useful when you want a finished bed design without taking up more room than necessary. Check the product dimensions to make sure it matches your small double bed.
Double Headboards
A double headboard is a popular choice for UK bedrooms. If you need a double bed headboard or headboard for double bed, check that the width and fixing method are suitable for your bed base.
King Size Headboards
A king size headboard can give a larger bed a balanced, finished look while providing a comfortable backrest when sitting up. When choosing a king headboard, check its width, height and fixing method against your bed.
Super King Headboards
A super king headboard is designed for wider beds and can create a strong visual feature in a larger bedroom. For a super king size headboard, check the exact dimensions and fixing points before purchase to ensure it is suitable for your bed.
How to Choose the Right Headboard
Choosing the right headboard starts with your bed size and the available space around it. Check the width of your bed or bed base first, then compare it with the headboard's exact dimensions. This is especially important when choosing a double headboard, king size headboard or super king headboard.
Next, consider the style, height and material. An upholstered headboard can provide a comfortable backrest, while a more structured design may suit a modern bedroom. Think about the fabric, colour and level of padding you prefer, as these details affect both comfort and appearance.
The fitting method also matters. Check whether the headboard is designed for a divan bed, bed frame or another type of base. If you are unsure, always check the product information and fixing requirements before ordering.
Which Headboard Colour Should You Choose?
The best headboard colour depends on your existing bedroom décor, bedding and furniture. Neutral shades such as cream, beige or grey can work with a wide range of interiors, while darker colours can create stronger contrast.
If you want the headboard to become a statement piece, choose a colour that stands out against your walls or bedding. For a more understated look, select a shade that complements your existing colour scheme.
Think about how easily you may want to change your bedroom style in the future. A versatile colour can make it easier to update bedding and accessories without replacing the headboard.
Headboard Fitting & Compatibility
Headboards do not fit every bed in the same way, so headboard compatibility should be checked before buying. Some designs attach to a bed or divan bed using struts, while floor standing headboards have a different fitting arrangement.
Check the product's fixing points, width, height and other headboard dimensions against your existing bed. The correct headboard fitting will depend on the design and the type of bed base you have.
If you are replacing an old headboard, do not assume that the new one will use the same headboard fixings. Always check the individual product information and fitting instructions before installation.
Why Choose The Bed Boss?
The Bed Boss offers a range of bed headboards designed for different bed sizes, bedroom styles and comfort preferences. You can compare options based on size, design, upholstery and fitting requirements rather than choosing a headboard on appearance alone.
With a UK-focused service and a range of bedroom products, The Bed Boss aims to make choosing your new headboard straightforward. Before ordering, check the individual product details for its dimensions, materials, fitting method, delivery information and applicable warranty or returns terms.
FAQs
Can a headboard be taller than the bed?
Yes. A headboard can extend well above the mattress and bed frame. The ideal height depends on the design, your bedroom space and the look you want. Always check the headboard's stated height before buying.
Should a headboard be wider than the mattress?
Not necessarily. Many headboards are designed to match the width of the bed or bed base, while some designs may extend slightly beyond it. Check the product dimensions and compare them with your bed before ordering.
Can I use a headboard with a divan bed?
Yes, many headboards are designed to work with divan beds, but compatibility depends on the headboard's fitting method and the divan's fixing points. Always check the individual product details before purchase.
Is a floor standing or strutted headboard better?
It depends on what you need. A floor-standing design can give the bed a more substantial appearance, while a strutted headboard attaches to the bed or base using supports. Consider the look, available space and fitting method before choosing.
How high should a headboard be above the mattress?
There is no single height that suits every bedroom. It depends on the headboard design, mattress position and the look you want. Check the product's full height and dimensions to make sure it will give you the proportions you want.
