The bedhead, the bedroom essential

Essential in the design of your cozy nest, the bedhead lends itself to all styles of decoration. A real decorative element, it is also a piece of furniture for the bedroom that provides comfort by supporting pillows. Discover our reasons and advice for choosing a bedhead!

Why install a bedhead? 

Here are our top three reasons to get one. 

Firstly, for aesthetic reasons. The bedhead will dress up your cozy nest. As a central element of the bedroom's decoration, it will be a focal point and will draw attention to the bed. It will provide a touch of color and texture while highlighting your sleeping space. It will also add height and depth to the room, making the room feel larger. This type of furniture will reinforce the style of decoration you have chosen. 

Secondly, you can adopt a bedhead for greater comfort. It offers extra support for the upper body and helps to improve the quality of sleep. You'll have a cozy, ergonomic sleeping space by better arranging your pillows, and a quieter, more peaceful space by reducing distractions. The bedhead also creates a warm feeling to warm up your cold nights.

This type of bedroom furniture is designed to protect the sleeper from the cold wall. It helps to maintain the temperature in the room, especially in solid wood and leather. It establishes a physical barrier against draughts while preventing heat loss. It can also improve acoustics by reducing external noise. Finally, the bedhead can help protect against airborne allergens such as dust and dust mites. 

How to choose a bedhead ?

To select one for your bed, it is essential to take into account the size and height of the bed (including the size of the legs, the type of base and the thickness of the mattress). There are several options for the width of the bed. You can opt for a bedhead that is the same size as your bed, or slightly wider. However, it should not be more than 10 cm wider on each side. It's all a question of proportions, but also of taste. As for the height, standard bedheads are 35-75 cm. This will be determined by the size of the bed. For example, 35 cm is suitable for a 140x190 cm or 200 cm bed, while 75 cm is suitable for a king size. For your bedhead to be comfortable, it must be high enough for you to lean back and be comfortable in your bed. 

After the size, what material should you choose? It is important to consider not only the aesthetics of the bedhead, but also its durability, ease of maintenance and ability to fit the space and style of the room. 

Firstly, we have solid wood. Known for its durability, strength and ease of maintenance, it is a perfect material for this type of bedroom furniture. Leather is a luxurious material that adds a touch of sophistication, as well as being resistant to stains and wear. Fabric bedheads are said to be more comfortable, and can be more easily matched to your bedroom colors. Next are metal bedheads. This material is modern and stylish, and can be made of stainless steel, wrought iron or even aluminum for more originality. You will agree on the perfect material depending on the decoration of your room. 

Indeed, it is important to select a bedhead that will harmonize with the kind of decoration of the room. Made from solid wood, this type of furniture will suit any decor. For a contemporary style, it is necessary to opt for a bedhead with a minimalist and modern design. It should have simple and clean lines, like our dear IDA. For a more industrial look, a solid wood bedhead with metal finishes is ideal, like the beautiful ALMA. It brings a touch of elegance and freshness to the sleeping area. For more bohemian tastes, solid wood is also an excellent decision for this style. It is a natural and warm material that gives a rustic charm to the room.

If we had to summarize: 
The bedhead is a real asset to improve your comfort, while adding more to the look of your bedroom. It is important to take into consideration the size of your bed and its height to choose the right furniture.
