Why should I buy a super king headboard?

If you want to give your bedroom some real standout, then a super king bed headboard is a great way to do it.

Although you don’t necessarily need to add a headboard to your bed, there are a few good reasons why you should do so.

A headboard will protect both your head and the wall from damage, as well as being a perfect backrest for when you want to watch TV or binge Netflix from the comfort of your bed. They are also useful if you like to read in bed.

Should your bed frame match your headboard?

It’s completely up to you whether you want your headboard to match your bed frame or not, although most people do choose to match.

The only thing that you have to make sure is that both your bed and headboard are super king size and that way, they’ll fit together perfectly.

Does a super king bed need a headboard?

Technically no, a super king bed does not need a headboard. However, they are more than decoration, they can provide something comfortable to lean against, too!

What types of super king headboard can I buy?

Our collection of super king headboards come in a variety of beautiful designs and colours, meaning that there is more than enough choice to find something that suits your tastes.

Wooden super king size headboards are a popular option. They’re great if you already have existing wooden furniture in your bedroom that you’d like to match with.

Super king wooden headboards are available in a variety of shades, including classic oak and deep mahogany. Wooden headboards can also easily be painted or varnished so you can keep them looking fresh as you update your bedroom décor.

Fabric headboards are incredibly popular right now. Made from a wooden frame and covered in soft plush fabric, super king size upholstered headboards make a wow statement in any bedroom. They also double up as a comfortable backrest.

A super king metal headboard can give your bedroom a classic or industrial feel. Available in a variety of styles, there are metal headboards to suit every aesthetic, whether you prefer something more traditional or you’re searching for a statement piece.

Is it easy to fit a super king headboard?

Fitting a headboard to a bed is much easier than it sounds. The first step is to attach the legs to the headboard, if they’re not already attached.

There should be holes in both the legs and the headboard – you just need to align these and then securely fix together with the screws provided.

Next, locate the pre-drilled holes in your bed base. Simply slide the struts on the headboard in and tighten the bolts to secure them into place.

If you’ve bought a headboard for your divan bed, then we’ve got some handy instructions for how to attach your headboard (https://www.bensonsforbeds.co.uk/sleep-hub/how-to-assemble-a-divan-bed-sleep-hub-bensons-for-beds/).

Alternatively, if you choose a super king floor standing headboard then there’s no need to attach it to your bed frame at all. Simply pop it up, put the bed up against it and you’re good to go.

How do you clean a fabric super king headboard?

To clean a fabric headboard, you should first start with a weekly vacuum, using your upholstery attachment. To spot clean any stains, just mix a small amount of detergent with warm water and then work into the stain with a clean cloth.

If you’re thinking that a fabric headboard is a little too much maintenance for you but you still like the look of them then why not try a faux leather headboard? The fabric can simply be wiped clean to keep your headboard looking and feeling fresh.

Arguably the best purpose of a headboard is a lovely backrest. If you like to read or watch movies in bed then definitely don’t forgo a headboard. Prop your pillows up against it and relax!

Can I buy a king size headboard on its own?

Yes, you can buy a king size headboard on its own. Some of our beds at Bensons for Beds come with headboards included and some don’t, in which case you will need to buy your headboard separately.

Buying a headboard is also a great way of updating your home décor without having to spend a fortune or buying an entire new bed. If you like to mix it up a bit every now and then, you can easily change your headboard to match your new décor.
