Headboards for a Comfortable and Finished Bedroom

Give your bedroom a more complete appearance with headboards from Vartiss Store. Our collection includes upholstered fabric, velvet, boucle and rattan-inspired bedheads in different sizes, colours and styles.

A headboard can create a focal point behind your bed and help coordinate the room with your bedding and other furniture. Padded models may also provide a softer surface when sitting up in bed, provided the headboard is correctly installed and suitable for that use.

Vartiss Store is based in Bentleigh, Melbourne. We deliver headboards throughout Australia, with free delivery to Australian capital cities and a flat $30 delivery fee for regional and remote towns.

Choosing the Right Headboard

Start with your bed and mattress size, then measure the space behind the bed. A size label alone does not guarantee compatibility, as dimensions and installation methods can vary between bed frames and headboard models.

Important details to check include:

• Overall width: compare the complete headboard width with your bed frame and available wall space.
• Overall height: consider how much of the headboard will remain visible above your mattress and pillows.
• Bed size: confirm whether the model is designed for Single, King Single, Double, Queen or King beds.
• Mounting method: determine whether the headboard attaches to a bed frame, mounts to a wall or stands behind the bed.
• Fixing position: check whether the holes, brackets or supports align with your existing bed frame.
• Room clearance: allow space for bedside tables, power points, switches and skirting boards.
• Material and care: select a finish that suits your bedroom and preferred maintenance routine.

Headboard dimensions, fixing requirements and included hardware vary between models. Always compare the complete specifications with your existing bed before purchasing.

Headboard Styles for Different Bedrooms

Fabric Headboards

Fabric headboards create a soft, comfortable appearance and are available in a variety of neutral colours. Different textures can complement modern, classic and relaxed bedroom styles.

Velvet Headboards

Velvet upholstery adds a richer texture and can make the bed a stronger visual feature. Colours and fabric appearance may vary slightly under different lighting and screen settings.

Boucle Headboards

Boucle headboards have a distinctive looped texture that works well in contemporary and softly styled interiors. Regular gentle care can help prevent dust from settling into the textured surface.

Rattan-Inspired Headboards

Rattan and woven-look designs bring natural texture to a bedroom. They can coordinate well with timber furniture, neutral bedding and coastal or relaxed interior styles.

Padded Headboards

Padded upholstery may provide a softer backing for reading or relaxing in bed. The headboard must be installed securely and used according to the product instructions.

Measure Your Bed and Bedroom Carefully

Australian mattress-size names provide a useful starting point, but a bed frame is normally wider than its mattress. The headboard must suit the complete bed setup rather than the mattress measurement alone.

Before ordering:

• Measure the complete outside width of your bed frame.
• Measure from the floor to the top of your mattress.
• Decide how much headboard height you want visible.
• Check the location of bedside tables and wall fittings.
• Confirm the mounting points and required hardware.
• Allow for thick skirting boards if the headboard sits against a wall.

Installation, Care and Safety

Follow the supplied instructions and use only fixings suitable for the headboard, bed frame and wall type. Do not assume that all headboards attach in the same way.

Vacuum upholstered surfaces gently with a suitable attachment and address spills according to the product’s care instructions. Avoid harsh cleaners or excessive moisture, particularly on velvet, boucle and woven finishes.

Make sure the headboard is stable and securely installed before use. If wall mounting is required and you are uncertain about the wall structure or hidden services, use a qualified installer.

Complete Your Bedroom

Pair your headboard with a compatible option from our beds and bed frames collection. Complete your sleeping setup with one of our mattresses, or add practical storage beside the bed with our bedside tables.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of headboards are available?

Do headboards fit every bed frame?

No. Compatibility depends on the headboard dimensions, bed-frame width, fixing points and installation method. Compare all measurements before ordering.

How do I choose the correct headboard size?

Use your bed size as a starting point, then compare the headboard’s complete width and height with your bed frame, mattress and available wall space.

Some padded designs may provide a softer backing, but suitability depends on their construction and installation. The headboard must be secured correctly before pressure is placed against it.

Included hardware varies between models. Check the product specifications and package contents to determine what is supplied and whether additional fixings are required.

How should an upholstered headboard be cleaned?

Use a suitable vacuum attachment for regular dust removal and follow the model-specific care instructions for marks or spills. Test any cleaning method in an inconspicuous area first.
