Upholstered Fabric and Wood Headboards

Upholstered Fabric and Wood Headboards

Give your bedroom a finished look with upholstered headboards from Furniture For America online store. Whether you already own a frame and just need a bed headboard to complete it, or you're starting from scratch, shop tufted, channel-stitched, and paneled designs in fabric and solid wood, sized for twin through California king beds.

Finding the Right Headboard for Your Bed

Most headboards attach directly to an existing frame, so the first step is matching the size correctly. A twin bed frame with headboard works well for kids' rooms, guest rooms, or a daybed setup where space is limited. Step up to a full size headboard for a slightly larger sleeping area, or choose a full size bed headboard sized to pair with a full-size mattress if you're furnishing the room from the ground up.

For couples, a queen bed frame with headboard is one of the most common combinations we sell, since queen frames fit most standard bedrooms without special measuring. If you already have the frame, a full size bed frame with headboard sold separately still lets you match the two pieces later, as long as you confirm the mounting hardware is compatible. The same goes for a full size bed frame and headboard bought as one set, which removes the guesswork of matching finishes and dimensions.

King-size shoppers have several options depending on what they already own. A king bed frame with headboard or a king size bed frame with headboard works for anyone building a bedroom from scratch. If your frame is fine but the headboard needs an upgrade, a king size headboard only purchase attaches to most standard king frames without replacing the base. Shoppers comparing a king bed frame and headboard against a king size bed frame and headboard set will find both terms describe the same combination, just listed differently across product titles. Either way, check the king bed frame headboard mounting specs before you order to confirm a proper fit. For an even larger bed, a california king headboard is built to the slightly longer California king dimensions, so don't assume a standard king headboard will fit.

Building on a platform-style base? A platform bed frame with headboard pairs a low-profile frame with a taller upholstered panel, which gives the bed presence without adding bulk to the rest of the room. And if you're simply replacing a broken or dated panel, any bed frame with headboard or bed frames with headboard listing on our site will show you which mounting brackets are included.

Upholstered, Wood, and Specialty Styles

Upholstered headboards are the most popular option in this collection, and it's easy to see why. A tufted or channel-stitched upholstered headboard adds a soft, tailored look that a plain wood or metal panel can't match, and fabric options range from simple linen weaves to more textured bouclé and velvet finishes. Beyond upholstery, we also carry a bookcase headboard for anyone who wants built-in storage or display shelving right at the head of the bed, a practical option for smaller rooms without much nightstand space.

If you have an adjustable base, look specifically for headboards for adjustable beds, since standard headboards can interfere with the base's incline mechanism. Wall mounted headboards are another option worth considering if you want the look of a headboard without attaching directly to the bed frame. These work well in rooms where the frame and headboard are purchased separately or where the frame itself doesn't support a standard headboard bracket.

Not sure an upholstered headboard suits your style? A bedroom headboard doesn't have to match the rest of the furniture exactly. Pairing a bold upholstered headboard with simpler case goods, or a natural wood headboard with a metal frame, is a straightforward way to add contrast without a full furniture overhaul.

Completing the Bedroom

A headboard is only one piece of the room. Pair yours with a matching frame from our Beds collection, and finish your sleep setup with a mattress sized to fit from our Mattresses collection. For a guest room or flexible living space, browse Daybeds & Lounges as an alternative to a traditional bed and headboard combination. Round out the room with nightstands and dressers from Case Goods, or explore the full Shop All Bedroom collection for a coordinated look from end to end.
