How to Choose the Right Bedhead

Your bedroom needs a bedhead that makes sense for your space, your style and your lounging habits. Here’s how to choose the right single bed headboard:

Material: Timber is sturdy, grounded and sleek, upholstery is soft, plush and inviting. Think about a material that’s going to give your room the right feel when you walk in.

Size: Make sure your bed head for a single bed matches your base and mattress, and check that the height of your bedhead makes sense in your room.

Style: Sleek modern, charming classic, or no-nonsense minimalist. Your single bed headboard should complement your personality and bedroom decor.

Function vs Flair: Are you after support, style or a little of both? Some beds are plush and comfy for reading and lounging, some are blessed with looks. Pick the one that works for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a bedhead and a bed frame?

A bed frame is the full outer shell that is made up of a bedhead and a base, while a bedhead single is the stylish scene-stealer at the top end. One supports the structure of your bed and your mattress, the other makes your bedroom look like it should be in a magazine.

Do I need a bedhead with my single bed?

Technically, no. But why would you deny yourself the glamorous lounging pleasure? A bedhead defines and anchors the room and gives it a personality.

Are bedheads decorative or functional?

Both! Single bedheads bring the drama, style, and polish, while also giving you something comfy and practical to lean against for reading, scrolling or binge-watching in bed. Pretty and practical, the perfect combo.

Can I attach a bedhead to an existing base?

In some cases, yes. But you have to check that your single bed headboard is compatible with your existing bed base to ensure safe and sturdy construction.

What styles of single bedheads are available?

Plenty! Go sleek and modern, clean and classic or go for a single upholstered bedhead. Whether your bedroom is a haven of minimalist calm or an explosion of bold personality, there’s a bedhead style ready to transform your space.
