The history
While the first beds were originally built by the ancient Egyptians, it is thought that headboards came from ancient Greeks and Romans. The Greeks built a raised board at the head of the bed to allow for sitting up, eating, and resting semi-reclined. In Rome, headboards were seen as a sign of luxury among the wealthy. Later during medieval times, headboards - including upholstered headboards - were made to look even more extravagant for nobility, queens, and royalty to compliment similarly large four-poster beds.
When Europeans and settlers began to move to America, beds would be built locally but the linens and headboard would be shipped from Europe - reflecting not only the wealthy, but heritage, history, and culture of the owner.
Modern
Today's headboards are made in a variety of materials and sizes. Basic wood and metal-framed headboards are the most affordable and can be bought for 0-0. Bookcase, upholstered, and solid carved wooden headboards will be costlier, especially if you're looking for a queen or king size.
Contemporary
Upholstered headboards are the best option if you're looking to buy a headboard because they're versatile and work in both traditional and contemporary spaces. They're also the most comfortable option for those who enjoy sitting up and reading in bed because of its support and cushioning. Upholstered headboards come in a number of materials including leather, microfibers, or suede with designs like tufts or fancy borders.
Bookcase
Bookcase headboards are usually made of wood and are a practical option for extra storage space in your bedroom and a great alternative to a bedside table. Unless they're raised higher than most, bookcase headboards are generally not as comfortable as upholstered ones.
