We are frequently asked whether we make our storage beds without headboards, so we thought it would be useful to write a post about it. Read on to learn more about our beds without a headboard, along with lots of other information that will help you pick your next bed.
Do you make your storage beds without a headboard?
The simple answer is yes. Headboards are an optional extra on all our storage beds. Simply choose ‘no headboard’ when you’re ordering your bed online.
If you need a headboard later, that’s fine; adding a headboard to your bed is easy if you change your mind. You can buy a headboard anytime by calling or emailing us to place an order.

How does the headboard attach to the bed?
The answer to this question depends on which headboard you choose. You have the option of non-integrated or integrated.
Our non-integrated headboards can be attached either to the wall or the bed. Although we strongly recommend wall mounting as it looks better and does not add any length to the bed.
Integrated headboards attach to the bed with removable brackets.
Then, of course, comes the question of what headboard styles we offer. You might find this blog on the different headboard styles available helpful. There are several designs to choose from in various colours and materials.
Any style of headboard can be attached to any bed base as a non-integrated or integrated headboard.
Pictured above is the same bed we showed you earlier with an integrated headboard attached.
Can you mix and match headboards and bed frames?
We usually make our headboards to match the same fabric or leather as your bed base, but if you want to mix and match them, that’s fine too.
We also make wooden headboards to complement our wooden bed bases. These can be made in the same wood as your bed base, or you could add a fabric headboard to your wooden bed base instead.
At Furl, we aim to be as flexible as possible. It’s up to you whether you’d like a headboard and, if so, which one you want to add.

What’s the difference between an integrated and non-integrated headboard?
An integrated headboard usually attaches directly to the bed with brackets or struts. It comes in several different heights and typically sits just below the mattress.
Non-integrated headboards can be attached either to the wall or the bed. We recommend hanging them on the wall to occupy less space behind the bed.
