The best height for a headboard is anywhere around 20 inches tall above the top of the mattress. A low headboard is the best option for those who want to hang artwork, photos, and other wall decors above their bed. On top of that, it can make a bedroom appear more spacious. If you’re not sure which height will suit you best, consider purchasing an adjustable headboard.
A low-headboard queen bed is very comfortable—but you do have to know how to use it in the right way. If you like sitting up in bed and reading a lot, it might be a good idea to invest in a large reading pillow to prop yourself up against. Otherwise, a low-headboard bed is no less comfortable than any other—and certainly looks minimal, modern, and chic in the bargain.
If you’d like to create the illusion of a higher headboard behind a low headboard queen bed, there’s no better strategy than to paint a large square or arch behind your bed, or to place a tapestry or large piece of art just above the low headboard.
As another strategy, you could place your low headboard bed in front of a window, and then place dramatic curtains on either side.
