The quality is excellent, and the color is perfect."

Review Highlight: "I love the fact that it’s adjustable so if I ever downsize to a full or upgrade to a king (I currently have a queen), I can still use this. And it’s just gorgeous and adds so much class to the room. It really pulls everything together nicely. Great price (even better since they let me pay in installments)."

Why are some headboards not compatible with adjustable beds?

Basically, regular degular headboards can technically work with an adjustable bed—as long as there are bolt or hook-on brackets for you to attach it to the bed frame. If the headboard doesn't come with brackets, you could buy them separately to accommodate. Or, if you want to cut out all of that extra work, just purchase a headboard that's already compatible with adjustable beds (ahem, like the ones above).

What to look for when buying a headboard?

When you're shopping for a headboard to liven up your sleeping space, there are a few design guidelines that you'll want to keep in mind for peak room enhancement. To help you ID the perfect match, let's break 'em down now.

Material

You'll want your headboard to work well in your space, so decide if you want to make a statement, or go for something that'll blend with the overall decor. Materials like velvet and natural wood are good options if you want your headboard to pull eyes, while upholstered cotton works well when you want a more classic look.

Height

Beyond using a headboard that fits your literal bed size (full, king, etc.), the perfect height is also a factor to consider. If you don't want the piece to overwhelm your room too much, follow the standard sizing (which is from the top of your mattress to the top of the headboard):

• Twin: 14"

• Full/Queen: 28" for queen beds

• King/California: 58"
