Headboards have a variety of uses – holding the parts of the bed together, creating storage, providing a buffer so you don’t bang your head on the wall, and decorative. A tall king headboard is the perfect companion for a king-sized bed, providing comfort or convenience or added value in the way of looks for your room.

What different headboard designs are there?

Padded Headboard

A padded headboard is nice for leaning against, piling up pillows and generally relaxing. A tall headboard means that your head isn’t leaning back against the wall instead of the padding. Not only does the padding provide a soft surface, it creates a little-added insulation – something that is handy in cold locations where the walls seem to perpetually radiate a chill.

Padded headboards often are decorated with upholstery buttons, not unlike an over-stuffed couch. The fabric comes in a choice of colors, or it can even be leather or faux leather. Some of them match the mattress design.

Storage Headboard

If you are a reader, a storage headboard is a must. It is the perfect place to stash your favorite book series, your e-reader, or the remote for a big screen tv. Your headboard is also a good place to store small personal items or a journal. The only drawback to a storage headboard is that it isn’t as comfortable to lean against as a padded headboard. Some storage headboards, however, have a solid area or a set of doors in the area where you are likely to want to place pillows or a bed chair.

Decorative Headboard

Not every tall king headboard is padded or set up for storage. Some are decorative. One classic type is wood headboards that match the supporting frame of the bed. Dark walnut and mahogany are two popular decorative wood headboard types. Iron scrollwork in a wood frame is another option, as is brass scrollwork. Such headboards are often accompanied by lamps on either side of the bed or with other bedside furnishings.

Print Padding and Shaped Headboards

While many headboards are simply a rectangular shape at the head of the bed some are shaped with graceful curves or slopes. The padding on headboards can be a cheerful print instead of a somber monochrome.

How to select the best headboard for your king bed?

Like all furniture selections, picking a headboard will have to do with your personal taste and habits. Do you like something to lean against? Do you like to have reading material on hand? How about a place to put the remote or to stash a couple of guilty pleasure snacks? Maybe you are a minimalist, and you would prefer a plain, wood headboard; or you like brass or scrollwork – that will affect your selection.

The one thing not mentioned is holding the bed together. When you are selecting a headboard, it is extremely important that the joints or slots that connect the headboard to the sideboards be secure and sturdy. Indeed, this might be the most important function of all.
