How to Choose the Right Bedhead

The right bed headboards can set the tone for your entire bedroom. Here’s how to choose “the one”:

Size: Make sure your bedhead is compatible with your base size. Ensure your mattress depth doesn’t obscure your headboard design.

Style: Are you the sleek-and-chic type? Or a plush and cosy dreamer? Pick a style that feels like you.

Materials: Timber bed heads keep things natural and grounded, while an upholstered bed head brings softness and luxury. Think warm handshake versus soft hug.

Colour: Neutral tones keep things timeless, bold shades bring the drama. Choose the colour that sets the scene for the bedroom feel you want.

Visit a Sleepy’s showroom for the full touch and feel experience (dramatic lounging encouraged). Or keep it cosy and shop the entire bedheads range online.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do bedheads fit all bed sizes?

Not quite. The bedhead and frame need to match. A single bedhead on a king bed base would look like a party hat on a Great Dane. The key here is to make sure the bedhead fits your bed and mattress size exactly.

How do I attach a bedhead to my bed base?

Most modern, contemporary bed heads are designed to slide right onto the brackets on your base, or to sit snuggly against the wall behind your bed. As long as you’ve matched the bedhead to a compatible-sized base, the construction stage should be smooth sailing. 

Can I buy a bedhead separately from a bed frame?

Yes, you can, but ultimately, bed headboards need to be attached to something. If you want to choose your own style of base, it's easy. Just check the two are the same size and compatible before you make your purchase.

What materials are best for a bedhead?

Choosing the best materials for bedheads comes down to the type of bedroom vibe you’re going for. For a natural look, go for timber styles. If you like the luxury side of life, go plush and upholstered. If you enjoy contemporary, you can choose either, or a chic combination of the two.

Are upholstered bedheads easy to clean?

Yes, they are. A quick vacuum or a spot clean for marks usually does the trick. Having said that, they are not as easy to clean as timber bedheads.

Should I choose a bedhead for style or comfort?

Why choose? You can have both. A bedhead should look and feel good. An upholstered bedhead is particularly comfortable for lounging in bed with its plush feel, but timber bedheads can be just as comfortable for lounging when paired with a few cosy cushions or pillows.
