The headboard is a vital component of your bed. When you are decorating your bedroom, you may ask yourself what is the best material for headboards. There are many different things to consider about what type of headboard is best for you, in this article we will attempt to shed some light on what type of headboard you should be choosing.
The materials that you can have bedframes made out of are endless but the most popular three options are usually fabric, metal, and wood. Each of these materials offers a different styling option for a bedroom, as well as other factors that set them apart from the others. There are also many different sizes of headboards that are designed to fit the many different sizes of beds. The headboards that are available to purchase online from My Next Mattress are ideal for pairing with our wide selection of bed frames including divan, metal, fabric, and wood.
Fabric Headboards
With a fabric headboard, you are looking at getting a comfortable, stylish end product. When compared to wood or metal headboards you will often find that fabric will be the most comfortable piece of furniture for sitting and relaxing against. In our range, you will find a vast array of different colours and fabric types to suit the current décor of your room. Fabric headboards often give a slick and sophisticated finished look to your bedroom and are often the go-to purchase for adults.
Fabric headboards, due to the nature of their construction, will usually have a degree of padding to them and are much more forgiving to sit against than their metal and wooden counterparts. This usually makes them the best material for headboards where the user spends an above-average amount of time in bed sat up watching TV or reading a book. With products such as the Shakespeare Falcon Headboard, the customisation options provide the customer with an amazing degree of control in what product they are receiving. From picking the perfect size to choosing the colour to suit your room, you can even choose to have the headboard strutted or not. This customisation capability is something you may not get with a metal or wooden headboard.
Metal Headboards
When it comes to sleek sophistication you can’t look any further than a metal headboard. If you’re asking yourself what type of headboard is best for you and you are primarily looking for a clean, stylish look for your room, a metal headboard could be for you. Metal headboards have been a mainstay in bedrooms for many years, and with our selection, you will be able to find the perfect headboard for your room. For example, the Bentley Designs Urban Headboard is a stylish and modern-looking headboard, perfect for a young adult’s bedroom.
In contrast, the Bentley Designs Chloe Headboard combines elegant curves with expert craftsmanship to bring that sophistication people are craving in their bedrooms. Metal headboards are constructed from the highest standard of material available and are built to last. With a metal headboard you know that you are getting a quality product for a long period of time, there will be no need to spend extra on replacing it. Whilst metal headboards may seem a little less comfortable, they do provide you with a strong and sturdy area to lean a pillow for added comfort.
Wooden Headboards
A timeless classic, wood is perhaps the most popular headboard material for its long-life capabilities, structural soundness, and style. The classic wood look from high-quality material like oak are sure to go with a wide variety of different bedroom decors, the majority of bedroom furniture is even made from the same sorts of materials or the same wood effect style.
