10 Best Headboards UK 2024

For a peaceful snooze, look no further than the "Sleep Genius" double headboard by Silentnight, which really lives up to its name! Our number one pick combines luxury, comfort, and style - and every part has been made right here in the UK.

This product is very reasonably priced compared to similar full-depth headboards, and it boasts exceptional quality. Made from a base of FSC-certified wood, the upholstery has a classic button design in a demure dark grey. Sweet dreams guaranteed!

Bringing to mind opulent '50s boudoir décor, the Rouen upholstered headboard by John Lewis & Partners looks fit for a Hollywood starlet - or in anyone who simply wants to bring some glamour to their sleeping space!

Made in the UK, this range boasts a variety of gorgeous hues and even several different fabric options too. The "Topaz" material in dusky pink is definitely our favourite, as it feels like luxurious linen. Plus, the full-depth design of the headboard creates a feeling of optimum cosiness, so you're sure to enjoy many a lazy Sunday from now on!

There's something incredibly charming about duck egg blue, and it can be a calming addition to the boudoir, particularly when paired with muted or neutral shades. Argos' "Bircham" headboard brings style and sophistication to your bedroom thanks to its beautiful colour and modern vertical panel detail.

Comfortably padded and available in a range of shades and sizes to suit your personal style, it comes complete with universal height-adjustable struts for easy fitting. An elegant option that looks much more expensive than it actually is!

Sometimes simple really is best, and this small double headboard from sleep experts Silentnight has everything you need. It comes in three straightforward shades - grey, charcoal, and black - meaning it should suit all kinds of rooms and won't detract from the rest of your décor.

We also like that the "Milan" headboard is available in this small double option, which isn't always as widely available as a regular double size. As it's fairly inexpensive, it's ideal for teenagers or a spare bedroom.

For a gorgeous combination of comfort and style, we recommend this full-depth headboard by Vispring. It comes in six stunning shades, and this one - an elegant dusky rose named "Plush Heather" - is our favourite!

Made from FSC-certified chipboard, the upholstered panels of this headboard are well-padded to ensure comfortable snoozing. Since it's handmade in the UK, it's not a cheap option, but it's an excellent choice for those wanting an investment piece.

Having a single bed no longer has to mean compromising on style, and the "Tribeca" headboard from Habitat is simply the best that we've found for smaller beds. Wherever you live geographically, there's no reason why you can't bring some contemporary New York styling to your space!

With a bold shape and geometric stitching detail, the tan faux leather creates a cosy yet industrial look. All the style of downtown at a relatively easy-going price and minus the whole "city that never sleeps" attitude!

Looking for a headboard that's good value for money, comfortable, and easy to install? This upholstered option by John Lewis & Partners has you covered! This one is double but it comes in single, small double and king-size too.

As headboards can get rather expensive the larger you go, we're impressed that even the king-size option is affordable! Some might find the plain grey colour a little dull, but we think it's totally timeless.

There aren't too many wooden headboards out there these days, so we were pleased to find this lovely one by ANYDAY, the new furniture brand from John Lewis & Partners. Available in white, natural, and grey, it has a modern minimalist vibe, but the slats still look traditional.

This budget-friendly headboard is made from solid pine and rubberwood, a durable combination that should stand the test of time - but perhaps not the comfiest one. On the plus side, it comes fully assembled, which is always a bonus in our books!

Minimalism is the height of style right now, and there are few better places for simple tones than your sleeping space. If you prefer a minimalist décor, you're sure to fall in love with British brand Tempur's "Thornby" headboard in tweed grey.

This super king-size headboard's chic, horizontal panel design makes it a luxurious buy, but it will only suit those with large budgets as it's very expensive compared to our other picks.

Upholstered headboards may be the most popular option at the moment, but that doesn't mean you can't go for something a little different like this riveting rattan option by Habitat. It's an eye-catching statement piece that's guaranteed to bring pizazz to your bedroom!

Crafted in Indonesia, this board is made from steam-bent natural rattan and is proudly built to last. The simple black shade will work well with minimalist décor and bold, bright colour schemes alike. Sadly though, this piece is more of a style statement than anything else, as the rattan doesn't feel too cosy to lie against.
