Does your bed have a headboard?

[lucysmam]

I'm decorating my room (at last!) and can't decide whether I need, or want, the headboard back on my bed.

If yours doesn't have one, does it feel weird?

Yes, mine has a headboard. It is made of wood so I only rest up against it with a very large square pillow rested against it. But I think beds look wrong and studenty without a headboard.

Yes, a giant padded one that I made and I'm very proud of.

We've got a barred headboard. And footboard.

Not for kinky reasons.

But it helps. 😉

Yes, I like to rest my back on it and read in bed.

We also have a barred headboard and footboard, also not originally for kinky reasons but smut happens

Yes. Last bed didn't have one but had a shelf (part of fitted wardrobes) that stabbed you through a pillow if sitting up. A wall is too cold/hard.

Yes I've had beds with no headboard and my pillows always fell down the back of the bed during the night, but then I'm a restless sleeper.

Yes, all ours do. We all like to prop pillows up against them so we can read in bed. I think beds look & feel weird without a headboard.

I thought we didn't, but apparently we do. Too engrossed in other things to care, clearly.

Beds without headboards look a bit sad.

Yes I think going by this thread it might be a barred one plus one at the base of the bed too ☺

Beds without headboards look studenty.

I need a headboard. Much more comfy to sit up and read in a bed with a headboard than one without. Plus, I don’t think beds look ‘finished’ without them.

I have a barred headboard. It has multiple uses.

Beds need headboards 🛌

Yes, it's solid oak and has a head and foot board. I love it as I can sleep at whichever end i feel like.

I have a bedframe, so I have metal bars at the top and bottom of my bed.
Not for kinky purposes, obviously... but, well...

Sleigh bed. Not a headboard as such but something to rest pillows against.

Yes. The bed in our room has a deep headboard with shelving in the sides and books on top. The one in the guest room only has a simple wooden one. I find that when I sleep somewhere without a headboard you inevitably lose pillows down the back of the bed.

Barred head and footboard certainly for kinky reasons.

Hah, the headboard will probably stay after seeing these responses. I want it to look & feel nice in there, not studenty!

I don't tend to read in bed, I have my big chair in the living room for that, but I don't want to lose my pillows down the back of it. It was incredibly dusty back there when I moved the bed this morning

No, but that isn't unusual in France. Not sure why leaning your head against a wooden headboard would be more comfortable than a wall.

Headboards are necessary for breakfasting, reading and should be able to withstand at least 100Nm of transient force.

Also if you don't have a headboard the wall becomes disgusting.

Yes I think the wall would get grimy if you were leaning your head against it.

We don’t have a headboard.
When we moved into our first home 9 years ago, we bought a divan bed. Headboard was extra £££ and we’d already paid enough for a good quality bed&matress...
Have never ever missed having a headboard, stay in hotels regularly and can’t say We notice any difference being in a bed with a headboard
Our bedroom doesn’t look at all studenty either

No, it did have one but I was sick of stuffing pillows behind it or moving the bed away from the wall.
