What are bed headboards in the UK and why they matter

Headboards in the UK serve two roles. They’re a visual focal point and a practical backrest. They also tie into fire safety standards and local craftsmanship so you get both style and assurance. A well chosen headboard changes height, texture and color perception in a room.

How to choose the right size bed headboard compatibility by bed type

Match headboard width to bed frame for balance and proportion.

• Single 3ft / 90 cm: use a slim, compact design.
• Small Double 4ft / 120 cm and Double 4ft6 / ~135 cm
• King 5ft / ~150 cm and Super King 6ft / ~180 cm

Consider clearance for nightstands and wall space. Measure mattress width plus frame offsets then pick a slightly wider headboard or a snug exact fit. The Bed Crafters offers 5 size options from 3ft to 6ft to cover these configurations.

Design and materials which headboard styles fit modern, classic and transitional rooms

Headboard materials shape mood and durability. 40 fabric finishes give broad texture and color choices. Options include:

• Upholstered fabric headboards, including velvet for luxe feel.
• Wooden headboards in plywood or solid wood with different durability notes.
