Wood Headboards: Buying Guide

This collection holds one idea: a wood headboard should outlast the trend that made you buy it. Each one is a solid wood panel or slab, fixed to the bed frame or the wall behind it, cut from solid stock and finished by hand.

Getting the wood headboard right for your space

Fit the room first

Most pieces in this collection are sized for the bedroom. Measure the wall or floor space you can give the piece, then check it against the largest dimension listed on the product page. Each size shows its own price, so you can compare before you commit.

Worth knowing before you order

Confirm your bed width before ordering. Headboards are sized to specific mattress widths, not one-size-fits-all.

Care takes one line

Dust with a soft cloth and condition the wood with a light coat of furniture oil once or twice a year. Small marks buff out over a weekend, and the surface only looks better for the use.

What the collection covers

The designs run from live edge slab to panel style and curved top pieces, all cut from the same solid stock. If you are building the whole room around wood, the same grain and construction run through our wood wardrobes and wood daybeds, so the space can carry one idea from wall to wall.

The case for solid wood

The honest comparison is simple. Particle board with a printed skin cannot be repaired, only replaced. A solid hardwood wood headboard can be sanded, re-oiled and handed down. One is a purchase cycle. The other is a purchase.

What ordering here looks like

You order, we build, 5 to 7 weeks later it arrives in the room via free white glove delivery in the US and UK. A dated window shows at checkout so there is no guessing. If the piece does not suit the space, 30 days to return it in full. The structure is warrantied for 10 years.
