Where to buy a head board for a bed?

Feb 27, 2006 8 Replies

In England I could pick up a nice padded head board for 50 pounds! I can't find them anywhere here in NJ!



Anyone know where I can get them? I can have 2 of them made at the local fabric store - for $1400! lol



Thanks!

"padded headboard" in Google returns 330,000 hits.

After you've exhausted that list (sometime next year), report back on your results.

A padded headboard would be simple and inexpensive to make: plywood, foam padding, some polyester bat, fabric, staples, tacks or buttons, drill, string, and something to stand or hang it. Unpadded headboard could be just as easy. What do you want it to look like? Padded around edges, or just within a frame? Plain wood with moldings?

Here in America, we don't buy padded headboards. We just scoot down further in the bed.

Either that or where helmets....

Besides, the studs on the manacles cause runs in the fabric. Most gauche.

you're not trying very hard.

overstock.com (very low shipping)

JCPenny (best bet for something in a local store you can see)

Sears (maybe but for some unknown reason their site is down today.)

Just about any local furniture store (i.e. yellow pages)

you need an (ahem) heading tool for the rivets, to round them off nicely. Maybe a little rossete pattern..

Find HGTV. Watch it. Make your own for about $100.
