What Is a High Headboard Bed?
A high headboard bed features an oversized, tall headboard that extends significantly above the standard pillow height. Most high headboards measure between 120 cm and 160 cm in height, compared to 60 to 80 cm on a standard headboard. This extra height creates a strong focal point in the room and gives the bed a commanding, luxurious presence.
In the UK, high headboard beds have surged in popularity as homeowners look to create boutique hotel-style bedrooms at home. Interior designers consistently cite a tall upholstered headboard as one of the single most impactful upgrades you can make to a bedroom, without any structural work or major redecorating.
Our high headboard beds are fully upholstered in premium fabrics. The padding behind the headboard also serves a practical purpose: it provides soft, comfortable support when you sit up in bed to read, work, or watch television. Style and comfort working together.
Why Choose a High Headboard Bed from Sognare Beds?
Instant Bedroom Transformation
A tall headboard changes the entire visual proportion of a bedroom. It draws the eye upward, makes ceilings feel higher, and anchors the bed as the centrepiece of the room. If you want to push the design further, our luxury beds collection and sleigh and chesterfield beds offer additional statement designs.
Superior Upholstery Quality
Every headboard in our collection is upholstered in carefully selected fabrics. From plush velvet to smooth linen and contemporary boucle, each material is chosen for durability, softness, and visual appeal. The padding behind each headboard uses high-density foam that holds its shape over years of daily use.
Practical Comfort for Reading and Relaxing
A tall upholstered headboard is not just decorative. When you sit up in bed to read, scroll your phone, or watch something on screen, a padded high headboard gives your back and head proper support.
Available with Storage Options
Several models in our high headboard range are available with ottoman lift storage or can be paired with a storage divan base. This means you do not have to choose between a beautiful headboard and practical bedroom storage.
