Full Size Headboards

A full size headboard is one of the simplest ways to make a full bed look finished and feel more comfortable. It frames the bed, anchors the wall behind it, and gives you a supportive surface when you’re reading or winding down. Start by confirming fit for a full size bed, then choose the style that matches how you use the room.

Why add a full bed headboard

A headboard changes the whole vibe of the room without taking up extra floor space. It can also make everyday bedding look more intentional—pillows sit better, the bed feels “placed,” and the wall doesn’t look bare.

Comfort matters, too. A padded headboard gives you a backrest, and it helps keep pillows from sliding behind the mattress.

Full size headboard fit

Fit is the part that saves you time (and returns). Headboards are sized to match mattress sizes, so a full size bed headboard is made to pair with a full/double mattress.

Before buying, it helps to check:

• Attachment method: bed-frame mounted vs wall mounted.
• Hardware needs: some frames require brackets, depending on the design.
• Width guidance: many size charts list a full-size headboard at about 56 inches wide.

Full headboard styles

Style should follow how you live in the space—daily use, guest room, kids’ room, or a compact primary bedroom.

Upholstered full headboards

An upholstered headboard full size bed shoppers love usually has the coziest feel. Fabric and padding add softness, and it’s a great choice if you sit up in bed often.

Tufted looks add texture and a bit of detail, which can make the bed the focal point without needing bold wall colour.

Wood, metal, and panel options

Wood headboards bring warmth and a more classic feel, while metal styles can lean traditional or slightly vintage depending on the silhouette. Panel headboards are a clean, modern middle ground—simple lines that pair easily with most bedding and lighting.

Making it look intentional

A full size headboard looks best when the area around it is planned.

A few easy ways to keep the setup balanced:

• Pick a headboard height that fits your wall (taller feels dramatic; shorter keeps the room open).
• Leave room for nightstands so the bed doesn’t feel squeezed in.
• Keep wall art proportional—either one larger piece above the headboard or smaller pieces that don’t crowd the top edge.

FAQs About Full Size Headboards

Is a full headboard the same as a double headboard?

Yes. “Full” and “double” refer to the same mattress size, so a full size headboard fits a double/full bed.

How do I know if a full size bed headboard will fit my frame?

Confirm it’s made for a full/double bed, then check if it mounts to your bed frame or to the wall, since hardware and brackets can vary.

What style of headboard is best for a small bedroom?

A shorter profile or a clean panel headboard helps the room feel open, while an upholstered style can add comfort without extra furniture.

Are upholstered full headboards hard to keep clean?

They’re usually low-maintenance—regular vacuuming and quick spot-cleaning handles most day-to-day dust and marks.
