headboards

Behind the pillow

Headboards are the upright panels at the head of a bed, typically attached to the bed frame or mounted on the wall behind it.

They serve both decorative and practical purposes—providing a surface to lean against while sitting up in bed and protecting the wall from wear.

Headboards range from simple wooden planks to elaborate upholstered or carved designs: The antique brass headboard dominated the guest room.
