Should a headboard be wider than the mattress?

Whether a headboard should be wider than a mattress is largely a matter of personal preference. Generally, a headboard should be as wide as a mattress or 2 to 4 inches wider to create a balanced look. Find a collection of headboards from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.

Is Drexel Furniture good quality?

Yes, Drexel Furniture is good quality, and owing to the commendable level of craftsmanship that characterizes the company's work, Drexel's furnishings typically retain or increase in value over time. Vintage Drexel dining tables , dressers and other pieces remain highly desirable for enthusiasts of mid-century modern design.The North Carolina manufacturer initially became known for pieces inspired by historic European furniture. In the postwar era, Drexel adapted to changing tastes and embraced the clean lines of mid-century modernism with the Declaration collection designed by Stewart MacDougall and Kipp Stewart that featured elegant credenzas and more made in walnut. The Profile and Projection collections of the period, designed with sculptural shapes by John Van Koert , also see demand on today’s secondary market. Find vintage Drexel Furniture for sale on 1stDibs.

Are headboards a universal fit?

Whether a headboard has a universal fit depends on the specific circumstances. If your bed frame is a standard size, then all headboards of that size should fit properly. However, headboards won't necessarily fit all custom-sized bed frames. Shop a collection of headboards on 1stDibs.

Finding the Right Beds-frames for You

We find relaxation and solace in our bedrooms, which are often the most cherished rooms of a home. Your antique, new or vintage bed and bed frame are integral to this oasis of personal comfort.

Beds and bed frames have long been an important part of the sanctuary that is the bedroom. For the upper class in countries such as England, the massive, costly beds of the 16th and 17th centuries were decorative and of the poster variety. Some were characterized by large painted wooden headboards, often made of oak, that featured ornate carvings and richly colored curtains affixed to each of the two or four posts — think of today’s sumptuous upholstered headboards as a distant cousin to these luxurious furnishings. The heavy fabric curtains were drawn across a fringed canopy to close out the sunlight that might’ve warmed your grandiose and opulent bedchambers. This feature could also offer privacy as desired, because, as we all know, a bedroom is for more than just sleeping.

Coiled springs didn’t make their way into mattresses until the 1800s, which likely made for a far more comfortable night’s sleep for many. Bed frames of cast iron and brass were introduced during the mid- to late-19th century. Later, the 20th century brought with it marvelous innovations for slumberland, among them daybeds from the likes of George Nelson and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich as well as convertible sofa beds.

Today, you will find a range of beds geared toward your individual personality and preferred style of decor. When shopping for a bed and bed frame, keep in mind that you’ve got options. Sizes range from twin to California king. At 76 inches wide and 80 inches long, a king-size bed is roughly 16 inches wider than a queen-size mattress, and your bed frame will likely add two to five inches to each side. (The California king bed is 84 inches long.)

From dramatic bedroom designs to uncomplicated, minimalist approaches, the bedroom has evolved into the haven that it should be: a peaceful place of respite, where we begin and end every day. Take the time to create your very own oasis — you deserve it. Rest easy with an expansive collection of antique, new and vintage beds and bed frames available on 1stDibs.

Questions About Drexel

Should a headboard be wider than the mattress?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
Whether a headboard should be wider than a mattress is largely a matter of personal preference. Generally, a headboard should be as wide as a mattress or 2 to 4 inches wider to create a balanced look. Find a collection of headboards from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
Is Drexel Furniture good quality?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2024
Yes, Drexel Furniture is good quality, and owing to the commendable level of craftsmanship that characterizes the company's work, Drexel's furnishings typically retain or increase in value over time. Vintage Drexel dining tables, dressers and other pieces remain highly desirable for enthusiasts of mid-century modern design.

The North Carolina manufacturer initially became known for pieces inspired by historic European furniture. In the postwar era, Drexel adapted to changing tastes and embraced the clean lines of mid-century modernism with the Declaration collection designed by Stewart MacDougall and Kipp Stewart that featured elegant credenzas and more made in walnut. The Profile and Projection collections of the period, designed with sculptural shapes by John Van Koert, also see demand on today’s secondary market.

Are headboards a universal fit?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023
Whether a headboard has a universal fit depends on the specific circumstances. If your bed frame is a standard size, then all headboards of that size should fit properly. However, headboards won't necessarily fit all custom-sized bed frames. Shop a collection of headboards on 1stDibs.
