Our Headboard Collection – Every Style, Every Size

Every bedroom has its own personality, and your headboard should reflect yours. Our range spans the full spectrum of styles and sizes — from low-profile timber slatted designs for minimalist rooms to dramatic high-panel bedheads that become the centrepiece of a master suite. All pieces are available in sizes to suit standard Australian beds and are designed to coordinate with our Beds & Bed Frames collection for a perfectly matched bedroom finish.

Timber & Solid Wood Headboards

Our timber headboards are the most popular choice for Australians who want a bedroom that feels warm, natural, and genuinely high quality. Crafted from solid hardwoods including mango, acacia, sheesham, and oak, these pieces develop a richer character over time rather than deteriorating.

A timber bedhead is easy to clean, resistant to everyday wear, and compatible with a wide range of bedroom styles from Scandi-inspired neutrals to warm coastal palettes. Choose from panel, slatted, or carved designs in light and dark timber finishes to suit your existing décor. Pair seamlessly with our solid timber beds & bed frames for a fully coordinated bedroom.

Panel Headboards

Clean lines, strong presence. Our panel headboards are defined by their structured rectangular sections that give a bedroom a polished, contemporary look without being loud. Available in both timber and upholstered finishes, they suit modern, Hamptons-style, and classic bedroom interiors equally well.

The flat-panel design makes them versatile enough to work with nearly any bed frame or bedding colour, and the solid construction means they hold their shape and finish for years of daily use.

Freestanding Headboards

If you rent, move frequently, or simply prefer flexibility, a freestanding headboard is the practical answer. These designs slot behind the bed base without any wall fixing or bracket installation — no tools, no holes in the wall, no fuss. Simply position your bed against the wall, slide the headboard in place, and the job is done.

Our freestanding bedheads are available in timber and panel styles in all standard sizes and can be moved to a new home as easily as any other piece of furniture. A popular choice for apartment bedrooms and rental properties across Australia.

Wall-Mounted Headboards

For a clean, built-in look that makes a bedroom feel intentional and designed, our wall-mounted headboards attach directly to the wall behind your bed. This approach gives the impression of a custom installation without the custom price tag, and it works especially well in rooms where floor space is limited. Wall-mounted bedheads can be positioned at the exact height that suits your mattress and bed frame combination, giving you precise control over the finished look. Browse our range of wall-mounted options in timber and panel finishes for queen, king, and double sizes.

Queen Size Headboards

Queen is the most popular bed size in Australian bedrooms, and our queen headboard range reflects that with the widest variety of styles and finishes. At approximately 153cm wide, a queen bedhead fills the space between two bedside tables comfortably and creates a strong focal point without overwhelming the room. Browse our full queen size range in timber, panel, freestanding, and wall-mounted styles — all designed to sit perfectly with our Bedside Tables on either side.

King & King Single Headboards

A king size headboard makes a bold statement in a spacious master bedroom. At approximately 183cm wide, it creates a commanding visual anchor that defines the room immediately.

Our king bedheads are available in the same range of timber and panel styles as our queen options, so you can maintain a consistent look throughout a coordinated bedroom. King single headboards are equally important for teenagers’ bedrooms and spare rooms where a standard single would feel too narrow.

Why Add a Headboard? The Real Benefits

A surprising number of Australian bedrooms are missing a headboard — and it shows. Here is what a well-chosen bedhead actually adds to a bedroom beyond aesthetics:

• Bedroom Focal Point: A headboard gives the room a clear visual anchor. Without one, even well-furnished bedrooms can feel like the furniture is floating without purpose. A bedhead immediately makes the layout feel intentional.
• Wall Protection: Bed frames move during sleep. A headboard creates a buffer between your pillows and the wall, protecting paintwork and plaster from scuffing and marks over time.
• Comfort When Sitting Up: Reading in bed, watching a tablet, or working from a laptop is far more comfortable with a solid headboard to lean against. Timber and panel styles provide firm, supportive backing without the padding maintenance of upholstered designs.
• Sound Insulation: A timber headboard adds a layer of mass between the bed and a shared wall, subtly reducing the transmission of sound — particularly useful in apartments and townhouses.
• Instant Style Upgrade: Of all the ways to refresh a bedroom without buying new furniture, adding or replacing a headboard delivers the highest visual impact for the investment. It frames the entire bed and sets the tone for the room.

How to Choose the Right Headboard for Your Bedroom

Match the Size to Your Bed Frame

The width of your headboard should match the width of your bed frame. A queen headboard (approximately 153cm wide) belongs on a queen frame. A king headboard (approximately 183cm) belongs on a king. If the headboard is narrower than the frame, the gap on either side looks unfinished. If it is wider, it dominates the wall disproportionately. Always check the product dimensions against your existing beds & bed frames before ordering.

Choose the Right Height for Your Room

Headboard height is a styling decision as much as a practical one. Low-profile headboards (under 80cm from the top of the mattress) suit rooms with lower ceilings or a more minimalist aesthetic. Mid-height designs (80cm – 120cm) suit most standard Australian bedrooms and create a balanced look. Tall headboards (over 120cm) work best in rooms with high ceilings where they add drama without feeling cramped. As a rule of thumb, the top of the headboard should sit comfortably within the wall space between the bed and any artwork or shelving above.

Consider the Installation Method

Freestanding headboards require no tools and suit renters or anyone who prefers flexibility. Wall-mounted designs require drilling into the wall and suit homeowners looking for a permanent, built-in finish. Bracket-attached headboards connect directly to compatible bed frame legs and are the most secure option for beds that tend to move. Check which mounting method suits your situation before purchasing, and confirm compatibility with your existing frame if you are attaching directly.

Match the Timber Finish to Your Existing Furniture

For a bedroom that looks like it was designed rather than assembled, choose a headboard finish that coordinates with your existing furniture. Light oak and ash finishes suit Scandi and coastal styles. Warm mango or acacia tones work with earthy, natural palettes. Dark sheesham or walnut create a rich, classic feel. If you are building a matched bedroom suite, browse our Bedside Tables and Dressers to find coordinating pieces in the same timber family.
