There are many different types of bed headboards on the market today. The type you choose will largely depend on many factors including the size of your bed and the budget. While these are typical factors in making a purchasing decision, in this article we will cover the different compositions for bed headboards.
Wood
Wooden Headboards For Beds
Ode to the traditions. Wood bed headboards make a room look rich and a bed look expensive, no matter what frame is underneath and what mattress is on top. You can buy ornately carved wooden headboards, rustic looking wooden headboards that look like they were put together with chopped logs, or even more sophisticated and modern looking wooden headboards. The bad thing about opting for a wooden headboard is that they're often on the higher end of the price range. However, their beauty and elegance can often not be beaten. They also tend to be heavier than other types of bed headboards, so moving and installing them may require an additional person.
Particle Board
Particle board is a very popular choice for bed headboards. It's inexpensive, often environmentally friendly, light weight, and can come in a lot of different sizes. No, particle board is no longer just the choice for people looking to save money. There are so many designs available that you would think a lot of them are made of actual wood. Particle board is a great choice for just about anyone now a days.
Metal
This is another popular choice for bed headboards. Metal headboards come in a variety of shapes and styles, from very basic to very modern looking, from very budget conscious to very expensive. The most popular metal headboards are typically seen with curved designs. Being as how the variety is diverse, it's important to look at certain factors when purchasing a metal headboard, such as the price difference and weight of the headboard.
The type of headboard you choose will be largely based on your price range and what type of décor you're going for. All three of the above choices come in many different colors. You can even purchase upholstered versions of wood and particle board headboards. This is highly recommended for those who like to read or watch television in bed. Upholstered headboards and faux leather headboards are typically soft to lean back against, which makes them perfect for the person who likes to spend a lot of time cozied up in bed enjoying their favorite hobbies. Food for thought when shopping for bed headboards.
