High Headboard Beds: Why Headboard Height Changes a Bedroom
-
There is no fixed industry definition, but high headboard beds typically feature a headboard of 120cm or more in total height from the floor, placing the top of the headboard well above a person sitting upright in bed. Some designs reach 150cm or higher, particularly in wingback and panelled styles.
-
Yes, though the proportions matter. A very tall headboard in a room with a low ceiling can feel cramped. As a general guide, aim for at least 30 to 40cm of clear wall space above the top of the headboard. In rooms with lower ceilings, a headboard in the 120cm to 130cm range tends to work better than one approaching 150cm or more.
-
Yes, many high headboard designs are available with a gas-lift ottoman base, which provides full under-bed storage without affecting the appearance of the frame. Side drawer storage is also available on some designs.
-
A wingback bed is a type of high headboard bed with angled wing panels extending from either side of the headboard. Not all high headboard beds are wingback designs. Panelled and plain upholstered high headboards achieve similar height without the wing detail, giving a cleaner and more contemporary look.
-
High headboard beds work in most room sizes, though they have the most impact in rooms where the bed wall has enough height to let the headboard breathe. In a larger bedroom, a tall wingback or panelled headboard anchors the space effectively. In a smaller room, a high headboard in a light, neutral colour keeps the drama without making the room feel enclosed.
