Explore our collection of headboards by material to find the ideal finishing touch to your bedroom design. Whether you’re building a space that’s both welcoming and comfort-assured or you’re a fan of industrial interiors, you can enjoy being spoilt for choice at Bensons.
When it comes to choosing a new headboard or bed, there are no fixed rules on which material is best. What you should consider is the type of use you’d expect your items to be able to endure.
For example, while an upholstered headboard is comfortable, it may not be best for a child’s room. An easy to clean material such as wood or metal may be more appropriate given that you’ll be able to keep it looking as-new for much longer.
The decision ultimately comes down to personal preference. But a great piece of advice you can always turn to is consider practicality and functionality. Pair a functional headboard material that will work practically in day-to-day life and fits well with your bedroom interior design concept.
Our collection of headboards – whether wooden, metal, upholstered or velvet – are crafted using quality materials. And the suitability of a headboard material really depends on what space it will live in and how it will be used.
Our Sleep Hub article explains more about the different benefits of headboards.
Considering how much contact you’ll have with your headboard is a good place to start when choosing a material. If you intend to use your headboard as a comfortable back rest while reading in bed or watching TV, a plush, upholstered headboard is ideal. But, if you’re using it as wall-buffer and a design statement, think about the feel you’re trying to create in the bedroom.
Wooden beds and headboards work really well in boho, rustic or more traditional bedrooms.
Metal beds and headboards can enhance an industrial or vintage sleep space.
Upholstered or fabric headboards will make a room welcoming and add comfort.
Faux leather headboards are practical, comfortable and will add an air of luxury.
Each material offered at Bensons delivers a unique opportunity to enhance the feel of your bedroom. Which is the right choice for your bedroom again comes down to practicality, functionality, budget, and design preferences.
