Headboards can serve a number of both practical and aesthetic functions. A great-looking headboard will add a veneer of sophistication and elegance to your bed room and bed frame, which makes it a great option if you initially buy a bed frame without a headboard included and want to upgrade the look and feel of your boudoir. Additionally, if you like to read a book in bed or sit up in the morning to have breakfast or coffee in bed, a fine upholstered headboard makes it comfortable to do so- and the variety of high-quality, ultra comfortable synthetic fabrics now available makes it possible even on a tight budget.
