Double Bed
Improve The Look Of Your Double Bed With A Headboard
When I decorated and furnished my spare bed room I had a rather limited budget, and since I cannot bear uncomfortable beds, I went for comfort in my choice of bed rather than style. This worked fine, but it did sort of niggle me not having a headboard for the double bed. If you have a single bed, then it is often placed against two walls, hence with cushions it doesn’t look like anything is missing. However, with a double bed, you have to put it in the middle (otherwise one person will find it much harder to get in and out of bed). I have tried, with minimal success to arrange cushions before guests arrive, but it still always looks like something is missing without a headboard. Hence, I went on a quest to find a headboard which would look great and work well with the bed which I already had.
Since I have kids I am always aware of the fact that they may wake our guests up, and since I don’t necessarily want to force guests out of bed, I wanted something which was really comfortable to lead against to read. This automatically ruled out the range of wooden headboards.
I then looked at some of the fabric options, but I had one major concern – keeping them clean. This issue is two fold, either you a treated fabric, which is easy to clean, or you have to clean it. Either way it probably requires some level of chemical which may or may not stay on the fabric and people may or may not be breathing in when they sleep. So I then looked at the leather option – very expensive, but otherwise ideal; wipe clean, comfortable to lean against and looks good.
A quick reality check reminded me that I simply could not afford this – so I looked at the faux leather options. I had never actually bought anything ‘faux leather’ before – so I was a bit concerned about what it would look and feel like. Since I do most of my furniture shopping on line, I decided to wander round a few shops in my lunch hour and see exactly what the different qualities of faux leather were like. I was actually very impressed. There were some which were definitely thinner than others, but I was fairly sure that on a well made bed head with the right padding this could work.
So back to the internet and I read more reviews than you can imagine! After making my decision was pleased to receive my double bed headboard in just 2 days; and quickly my room was transformed.
This is the perfect way to create an amazing double bed; in fact I am so impressed, that I would always now consider buying my double bed frames and headboards separately as it gives you maximum choice on the look and allows you to manage your budget.
Here is the link to the double bed headboard and foot board which I bought – I am sure that you will be really pleased with it – It is fabulous!
