Choosing the best fabric for your headboard covering

By choosing the right fabric to cover your upholstered bed headboard, you can make a highly personalised style statement in your bedroom. At the same time, a fabric headboard can provide you with that extra comfort you are looking for when you want to read a book or watch TV in bed. In this blog post, we help you in your search for the best fabric for your headboard covering.

Our headboards explained

The headboard is a piece of furniture that is attached to the head of a bed. In historical times, they kept sleepers warmer by creating a space between the bed and the wall, which allowed cold air to sink to the floor rather than onto the bed.

Nowadays, in addition to their aesthetic function, they give support to your bed, while protecting the wall behind it against scuffing.

Here, at Next Divan, we offer two main types of headboard:

• 24 inches high strut or 32 inches high strut – This type of headboard comes with struts, which allow you to fit it straight onto your bed rather than the wall
• 54 inches high floor standing – A floor standing headboard stands behind the bed and is fixed with screws to the divan frame
