Wood, Rattan or Upholstered
The material changes the whole character of the room. A rattan headboard suits lighter, more relaxed styling, with woven detailing that catches light differently to a flat painted surface. A wooden headboard in a painted finish gives a more traditional look and holds carved or panelled detail well. An upholstered headboard adds comfort and a plusher finish, particularly in ivory or antique white, and tends to suit main bedrooms over guest rooms.
Getting the Size Right
A headboard needs to match your bed frame width exactly, not just your mattress size. We stock double headboard, king size headboard and super king headboard options. Frame widths can vary slightly between manufacturers even for the "same" bed size, so measure before ordering, and check fixing point spacing if you're replacing a headboard on an existing frame.
Colour and Finish
Finishes include antique white, ivory (pointing) and natural weathered tones. Antique white and ivory soften brighter rooms, while natural weathered suits rooms with existing wood tones, such as oak flooring. We send free swatches by post if you want to check a shade against your room before ordering, since paint finishes can look different under bedroom lighting compared to daylight.
Looking for the full bed to match? See our French Beds or Upholstered Beds ranges to order bed and headboard as a set.
FAQs
How do I know if a headboard will fit my existing bed frame?
Measure your frame's width in centimetres rather than going by "double" or "king" labelling alone, since widths vary slightly between manufacturers. If you're replacing a headboard rather than buying a full bed, check the fixing bracket spacing too.
Is a rattan headboard durable enough for everyday use?
Yes, though it should be kept out of prolonged direct sunlight to avoid fading and dusted regularly rather than deep cleaned, since excessive moisture can affect the weave over time.
Can I see the colour before I commit to an order?
Yes, we post 1 to 2 free swatches so you can check the finish against your room and lighting, which matters more for painted finishes than you'd expect.
Does a headboard need to match the rest of the bed frame, or can it be fitted separately?
Most of our headboards can be fitted to your existing frame as long as the width and fixing points match, so you don't necessarily need to replace the whole bed to update the look of the room.
Is an upholstered headboard harder to keep clean than a painted one?
Fabric will need occasional vacuuming or spot cleaning, whereas painted wood just needs a wipe down, so if you want lower maintenance a painted or rattan finish is the simpler choice.

I just wanted to drop you both an email to say thank you for getting the bed to us yesterday. Obviously, there was a delay with the delivery, but you managed the situation perfectly, and we would not hesitate in recommending Crown French. I think you are a shining example of 1st Class customer service. Well done and thanks to you both.
Well, it has finally happened. My lovely Cabinet was delivered today after all those months of discussing it with you. I now have it, and it is absolutely lovely.
