Headboards

A headboard does two jobs at once: it makes the bed look finished, and it gives you something comfortable to lean against when you’re reading or scrolling before sleep. The Brick has to offer headboards in a wide mix of looks—soft upholstered styles, clean panel designs, and classic wood options—so it’s easy to match your room instead of forcing a one-style-fits-all choice.

Why add a headboard?

Some bedrooms feel “done” the moment a headboard goes in. It frames the bed, anchors the wall, and can even make simple bedding look more intentional.

A padded headboard is also a practical upgrade if you sit up in bed often, since it acts like a backrest and keeps pillows from slipping behind the mattress.

Choosing the right headboard

Start with how you use the room. If you lean back in bed often, an upholstered headboard or tufted headboard tends to feel warmer and softer than a hard surface. If you want something durable and low-fuss, a wood headboard can be a great fit for busy households and guest rooms.

Also think about “visual weight.” A tall headboard becomes the room’s focal point, while a short headboard keeps the space feeling open—handy in smaller bedrooms or rooms with lots of art already on the walls.

Popular headboard styles

This is where you can set the mood of the whole bedroom—cozy and soft, clean and modern, or classic and warm.

Upholstered and tufted headboards

Upholstered headboards bring texture and comfort, and they’re available in looks like linen headboards, quilted headboards, and white tufted headboards for a lighter, airy feel. If you want a softer look without going overly formal, a fabric headboard in a neutral tone (white, beige, or grey) usually blends well over time.

Wood, metal, and panel headboards

Wood headboards add warmth and a classic bedroom feel, while metal headboards lean more traditional or vintage depending on the silhouette. Panel headboards are a nice middle ground—clean lines, less visual clutter, and easy to pair with modern bedding and lighting.

Headboard sizes and fit

Headboards are sized to match your mattress size, so shopping by bed size keeps things simple. You’ll see options for:

• Twin headboards / single bed headboards (great for kids’ rooms, guest rooms, and smaller spaces).
• Double headboards (often searched as “headboard for double bed” or “full headboard Canada”).
• Queen headboards and king bed headboards for larger primary bedrooms.

If you’re unsure about fit, it helps to confirm two details: the headboard width for your mattress size and the attachment method (bed-frame mounted vs wall mounted). Many headboards attach directly to the bed frame, but some setups may need brackets depending on the frame style.

Shopping on the collection page makes it easy to compare colour (black, white, beige, brown), material, and bed size so you can narrow it down quickly and get your bedroom looking finished.
