Sitting up against the wall is bad for your back, and becomes increasingly worse the longer you do so. As you lean against the wall your back subtly pushes the bed away from it, expanding the gap, and adjusting your spine into a progressively poorer posture.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Come the morning, you can find yourself painfully stretching a stiff back to reach into a crevice for fallen pillows, and rubbing a sore neck as you do so. Given enough time, the area of the wall where your head rests might even develop a greasy stain!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to alleviating the pains that accompany bad posture, headboards are frequently the centrepiece of a bedroom, a canvas that draws the eye and sets the tonal agenda for the rest of the room. An attractive, comfortable headboard helps a bedroom charm you into feeling relaxed and invites you to spend quality time there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:28px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"663\" data-id=\"493\" src=\"https:\/\/www.landofbeds.co.uk\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Not-having-a-headboard-can-lead-to-head-neck-and-back-pain-2-1024x663.jpg\" alt=\"Woman sat in bed touching her head which hurts because she doesn't have a headboard \" class=\"wp-image-493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.landofbeds.co.uk\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Not-having-a-headboard-can-lead-to-head-neck-and-back-pain-2-980x634.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.landofbeds.co.uk\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Not-having-a-headboard-can-lead-to-head-neck-and-back-pain-2-480x311.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"492\" src=\"https:\/\/www.landofbeds.co.uk\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/girl-with-headboard-683x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"A person lying on a bed answering an old-fashioned telephone on the side table.

Although wood can be painted or stained in whatever colour best suits a room, the neutral tones of the natural material are often already the best shades you would ever need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spectacular, luxurious looks can be achieved by oak or pine headboard. Less expensive wood is available for great d\u00e9cor on a budget.

Most often consisting of vertical, equally distanced slats, they make the bed seem taller and more inviting via the suggestion of height. Wood and metal are the most common materials that slatted headboards are to be found in.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:28px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-vintage-style-headboards\"><strong>Vintage Style Headboards<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to beds and bedrooms, many people feel comforted by older design styles.

Ordinarily, shabby chic items are made of wood.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:28px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-storage-headboards\"><strong>Storage Headboards <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Usually freestanding, storage headboards can consist of shelving, drawers and concealed compartments. For larger bedrooms, bookcase headboards are a popular choice.

The best materials for this type of headboard are normally wood or upholstered, particularly fabrics such as linen or silk, which help add a soft texture to the harder angles of the room.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:28px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-size-headboard-do-i-need-for-my-bed\"><strong>What Size Headboard Do I Need For My Bed?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many people might get by just fine with a shorter headboard, but those who spend more than a few minutes a night sat up in bed will appreciate the supportive benefits of a taller one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Obviously, in terms of width a good headboard is one that corresponds with the size of your bed. However, the space a bedroom has available should also be considered. Measuring the room, and taking into account anything such as doorways and windows that might restrict the size of a headboard, will help decide the scale.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a rule, when measuring up the fit of a headboard into a place, two inches extra should be added to either side in order to accommodate any inaccuracies or elements of the design that might jut out further than expected.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:28px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-footboard\"><strong>The Footboard<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask someone to create a basic drawing of a bed and chances are they will picture it as featuring a medium size headboard accompanied by a similarly sized footboard \u2013 the iconic image of a bed. A classic of contemporary styles, it is quite common at the moment for beds to include a medium sized headboard with no footboard.

About Judith Education and Early Career Judith\u2019s passion for helping others \u2013 particularly children and individuals with special needs \u2013 led her to pursue a dual honours degree in psychology and conductive education at Keele University. Conductive education, which blends neuroscience with hands-on learning techniques, sparked Judith\u2019s interest in the connection between sleep and brain development. Through her work in schools, she saw firsthand how poor sleep affected children\u2019s emotional resilience, behaviour, and academic performance. These experiences solidified her belief that quality sleep is a foundation for both learning and lifelong well-being. Connecting Science with Everyday Sleep Judith is passionate about making the science of sleep accessible and practical. Whether she\u2019s helping parents improve their child\u2019s bedtime routine, advising adults on the best products for better rest, or exploring how diet and lifestyle affect sleep quality, her advice is grounded in both research and real-life experience.

Her professional and personal insight allows her to explore the many ways sleep impacts people of all ages \u2013 from childhood development and learning to adult health and emotional well-being. About Judith Education and Early Career Judith\u2019s passion for helping others \u2013 particularly children and individuals with special needs \u2013 led her to pursue a dual honours degree in psychology and conductive education at Keele University. Conductive education, which blends neuroscience with hands-on learning techniques, sparked Judith\u2019s interest in the connection between sleep and brain development. Through her work in schools, she saw firsthand how poor sleep affected children\u2019s emotional resilience, behaviour, and academic performance. These experiences solidified her belief that quality sleep is a foundation for both learning and lifelong well-being. Connecting Science with Everyday Sleep Judith is passionate about making the science of sleep accessible and practical. Whether she\u2019s helping parents improve their child\u2019s bedtime routine, advising adults on the best products for better rest, or exploring how diet and lifestyle affect sleep quality, her advice is grounded in both research and real-life experience. Judith writes about all aspects of sleep for Land of Beds \u2013 from buying guides and sleep product reviews to evidence-based tips for improving sleep hygiene and creating healthy night time habits.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/judith-ackers-650446249\/"],"gender":"Female","award":["BSc in Psychology and Conductive Education.
