FAQs on Headboards for Double Beds

What size headboard do I need for my double bed?

Measure your bed frame width to match the correct headboard size. Double beds are typically 4ft 6in wide, but king beds are 5ft and super king 6ft. Check your frame dimensions before ordering, as headboard width must match your bed base exactly for secure fitting and proper alignment.

Whats the difference between a headboard and a bedhead?

Headboards and bedheads are the same thing — a panel that attaches to the head of your bed frame. The terms are used interchangeably in the UK. They serve both functional and decorative purposes, providing support when sitting up and protecting your wall from marks and damage.

Can I attach a headboard to any bed frame?

Most headboards attach to standard UK divan bases or metal frames using strut systems or bolts. Check your bed type and the product description for compatibility before purchasing. Some headboards require a specific base system, so confirm attachment method matches your existing frame.

How do I choose a headboard for a small bedroom?

For small rooms, choose a headboard in a light colour or simple design to avoid visual heaviness. Wall-mounted or slim-profile headboards take up less space than upholstered styles. Measure your wall height and bed width carefully to ensure proportions suit your room without overwhelming the space.

What headboard materials are best for durability?

Solid wood and metal headboards offer excellent durability and longevity. Upholstered headboards in quality fabrics like linen or velvet are durable but require regular cleaning. Choose fabric with high rub count (above 20,000) for heavy-use bedrooms. Leather provides luxury durability but needs specialist care.

How do I clean and maintain a fabric headboard?

Vacuum upholstered headboards monthly with an upholstery brush attachment. Spot-clean marks with a damp cloth and mild detergent immediately. Check the manufacturers care label for fabric-specific guidance. Avoid harsh chemicals and direct moisture. Professional cleaning is recommended annually for heavily-used headboards.

Do headboards with storage offer good value for money?

Storage headboards combine functionality with style, eliminating the need for a separate unit. Theyre excellent value if you need extra storage in a small bedroom. Compare prices against buying a headboard plus a storage solution separately. They work best for organised users wholl regularly access the compartments.

Whats the average delivery time for a double bed headboard?

Standard delivery takes 3–7 working days on most in-stock headboards. Next day delivery is available on selected models — check for the Next Day Delivery badge on the product page. Heavy or large headboards may require 2-person delivery, confirmed at checkout with potential additional charges.

How long does it take to assemble a headboard?

Most headboards assemble in 45–90 minutes with basic tools and one or two people. Full instructions are included with every purchase. Ready-assembled headboards are available and clearly marked online if you prefer to skip assembly. Check the product description for assembly requirements before ordering.

Should I choose a padded or wooden headboard?

Padded headboards offer comfort and warmth, ideal for bedrooms where youll sit up reading or relaxing. Wooden headboards are durable, easier to clean, and suit contemporary or traditional styles. Consider your decor, cleaning preferences, and how you use your bed when deciding between the two options.

What headboard height is best for a double bed?

Standard headboard heights range from 60cm to 140cm. For small rooms or low ceilings, choose 60–90cm heights. Statement headboards work better in larger rooms with higher ceilings. Measure from your mattress surface to ceiling height and consider visual proportion — the headboard shouldnt exceed 50% of wall height.
