Frequently Asked Questions

Why buy our headboards

Our headboards are made here in Christchurch using local suppliers.  We have a long trusted relationship with our suppliers ensuring our products are made to a high standard. 

Our headboards are made to a standard height of 1100mm.  Many competitors have a lower
price due to a height of 800mm.  See  FAQ question “What size headboards do you
make?” for an explanation why 1200 height is better.

What size headboards to you make?

Our headboards are made up to a height of 1100mm but can be customised to suit.

Why 1100mm height

  • naturally draws the eye upward,creating a more commanding presence in the room.
  • better aligns with larger beds and high ceilings, ensuring that the proportions are balanced, and the room feels complete.
  • ensures that the fabric design flows naturally across the entire headboard without abrupt endings. This creates a more luxurious and seamless look, elevating the overall aesthetic.
  • provide better coverage behind pillows and cushions, ensuring that the headboard is visible even when the bed is fully made.
  • allows for greater customization options, whether it’s through tufting, paneling, or other design elements that are more impactful on a larger canvas.

Width of bedheads

We make our bedheads slightly wider than your standard bed mattress you need to allow for any switches, power points and wall lights that may conflict to the width and width of your headboard.

Are your headboards fixed to the wall or freestanding?

Our headboards are fixed to the wall with a split rail.  A split rail is easy to install.

This type of installation stops the headboard banging against the wall every time someone rolls over in bed.

 We can provide a contact for installation if required in the Christchurch area, this cost is to be paid separately to the installer. You can book online with Hamish at https://www.naileditarthang.co.nz/
