Shop Affordable Bedheads & Headboards

A cheap bed head or headboard is one of the most effective ways to change the look of a bedroom without replacing the frame. Factory Buys stocks headboards across fabric, velvet, rattan, and bouclé finishes in a range of heights and neutral tones that suit most existing bedroom setups. Browse popular queen bed heads and king bed heads, or explore the full upholstered headboard range for a padded, softened look at an accessible price point. All options ship with fast delivery Australia-wide, and customers consistently rate Factory Buys for value, quality, and a straightforward buying experience.

Wall-Mounted, Frame-Attached, and Headboard Base Combinations

Not all headboards attach the same way, and understanding the difference before purchasing saves time. Wall-mounted headboards fix directly to the wall using bolts or brackets, sitting independently of the bed base and frame beneath. This allows more flexibility in positioning but requires the wall to be structural or suitably prepared. Frame-attached headboards bolt to the legs of a compatible bed frame using built-in struts or receiver brackets. This is the most common attachment method and works with most standard frames, but the frame needs to have the appropriate attachment points for it to work. A headboard base combination integrates the headboard into a fabric-covered base unit that sits directly on the floor without a separate frame, creating a coordinated set. These are worth considering when both pieces are being purchased at the same time rather than adding a headboard to an existing setup.

Getting Proportion Right

Headboard height is more noticeable in a room than it appears in product photography. A low-profile headboard suits rooms with lower ceilings or a minimal aesthetic, providing a clean visual break without dominating the wall. A taller headboard works well in higher-ceilinged rooms or master bedrooms where the bed is intended to be the main feature of the space. As a general guide, the headboard should sit somewhere between one third and two thirds of the total wall height above the mattress surface, so it reads as proportionate rather than undersized or overwhelming. Width should match the mattress width rather than the outer frame dimension. For size-specific browsing, double bed heads and king single bed heads are available in dedicated collections if you already know your size.

Pairing a Separate Headboard With Your Existing Setup

Buying a headboard separately from a frame gives considerably more flexibility, because each can be updated independently as tastes change. If the current frame is in good condition but the room needs a refresh, a new headboard is often the most cost-effective way to achieve it without replacing furniture that still functions well. For those who prefer a natural timber finish over upholstered styles, wooden headboards offer a warmer, more textural alternative across the same size range. For those fitting out a full room at the same time, the broader bedroom furniture collection covers coordinating frames, storage, and bedside options.

How do you choose the right bedhead style for your bedroom?

The best starting point is to think about the overall feel you want around the bed. Our bedhead range includes upholstered, rattan, wooden, velvet-look, and shelf-style designs, so some options create a softer, more layered look while others feel cleaner, more practical, or more decorative. If the bed is the main focal point in the room, the bedhead style will make a big difference.

What should you check so a bedhead fits your bed and room properly?

Begin by matching the bedhead to the correct bed size, then check the full dimensions against both your mattress and the wall behind it. Factory Buys stocks Australian sized mattresses and bed bases, so the first step is choosing a bedhead that suits the matching bed size before looking at the finer measurements. Height matters too, especially near windows, artwork, or wall lights.

What is most worth comparing between bedhead options before you buy?

It helps to compare the features that change both the look and the everyday practicality. Material, shape, padding, texture, and details such as tufting or built-in shelving can all affect how the bedhead feels in the bedroom. Our range also includes both simpler and more statement-driven designs, so it is worth deciding whether you want something understated or more eye-catching.

What should you keep in mind for comfort, upkeep, and setting up a bedhead?

If you like sitting up to read or relax, a more padded design will feel noticeably more comfortable day to day than a flatter decorative style. Lighter colours and textured finishes can brighten a room but may need more regular attention to stay looking fresh, so check the care guidance on the product listing before deciding. Confirm the attachment method suits your existing base before ordering. For anything that needs more than a straightforward fix to the wall or frame, our Airtasker partnership makes finding someone to take care of the setup easy.
