Why do you need a super king headboard?

Of course, one of the best things about a headboard is the added glamour it provides. But as well as style, there’s plenty more to be achieved. It’s worth considering exactly what you want from your super king size headboard before you decide on the style.

The benefits of a headboard

• Prevents stains on the wall
• Provides back support
• Stops pillows falling off the top of your bed
• Provides a stylish focal point

What are the different types of super king headboard?

As mentioned, there are plenty of different styles of headboard. Whatever your choice of décor, you’ll be able to find a perfect match. Each type of headboard comes in a range of styles and finishes. However, generally speaking, each type has certain benefits and will suit different styles of room design.

• Fabric upholstered – Comfier than metal or wood, fabric upholstered super king headboards are a luxurious choice. Great for lazy mornings with breakfast in bed, they come in a huge range of colours and materials with varying levels of padding, too.
• Leather – If you’re looking for a little opulence, a leather headboard is a must-have. Depending on the design, leather can be sleek or extravagant. Whatever the finish, a leather super king headboard is guaranteed to be an eye-catcher.
• Faux leather – Conscious about your environmental impact but still want an elegant finish for your bedroom? Consider a faux leather super king headboard to get the leather look without the guilt. They’re usually much cheaper than leather headboards, too. So, if you’re on a budget, faux-leather gives you the best of both worlds.
• Adjustable – Just because you have an adjustable bed doesn’t mean you can’t find a beautiful super king headboard to pair it with. These headboards are designed to work around the mechanisms used to adjust your mattress.

How to choose the best headboard?

When it comes to choosing the best headboard for your bedroom, there are a few things to think about. You’ll need to consider everything from material to colour and com fort to style.
• Material – The material your headboard is made from should be your first consideration. Wooden headboards generally suit wooden beds, metal headboards suit metal beds, and so on. However, this doesn’t mean you can’t mix and match. Leather can look great with wood, while some metal headboards can work well with fabric upholstered divan bases.
• Colour – Matching colours will always work great and provide a consistent and finished aesthetic for your bedroom. Consider your bedroom’s colour palette and look to find a headboard that suits.
• Size – Clearly, you’ll need your headboard to at least match the width of your mattress. However, for a grand finish, consider looking for one that extends beyond. A winged headboard can offer a real sense of grandeur. If you’re looking for clean lines, a streamlined faux leather super king headboard will look great.
• Padding – If you like to relax in bed with a book or a hot drink, you’ll want a decent level of padding to rest on. Fabric upholstered and leather headboards are your best bet here. Wooden and metal headboards can be a little uncomfortable without added pillows, so look for plush fabrics and relax in the height of luxury.
• Style – There’s no limit to the different styles of headboard you can choose. For a royal finish, consider a winged headboard with chesterfield detailing. If you’re all about sleek lines and a modern, chic aesthetic, choose smooth leather with rounded edges.

How big is a super king headboard?

While a super king headboard needs to be at least the same width as a super king bed, there are no other specific size requirements. So, depending on the style you choose, the size of your super king headboard will vary.
