Your Bed: Headboard or No Headboard?

My headboard is very small, but I added a shelf like thing that fits right on top of it...I like it this way as I have a lot of my knick knacks on it, like candles, figurines, but I'm dying to get a new bedframe sometime...mine is 46 years old..yeesh...there's a nice bedframe at this store nearby that I have my eye on and has a regular hutch type thing..could store books, and larger thing in it.. but one problem..it also has storage drawers underneath...except they are on the wrong side...LOL...I would need them on the left side rather than right.

I don't have a head board and I like it that way!!! It gives much more neat and clean and empty look..! Earlier we used to have a headboard. Becasue of that my bed used to look like so occupied and so not like a bed..!! It used to get all covered up with dust and even those things also whose place are not in a bedroom use to cover up my bed!! In your house having space with you means having loads of things too to cover whole of the place. When we had that headboard in our room it was always covered up with things..!! Thats is why I got rid of it. Now with no headboard on my bed my room looks so tidy!! I love it this way. And I am not even a reader so I don't even have to keep any books beside me bed!! :)

Nope no head board. My husband and I move a lot so until we settle down in one place, the less furniture we will have to move the better. Plus this way we won't risk damaging during the move.

I do not have a bed with headboard. I do not like it much either, hadn't have any as of now. I kind of dislike the whole idea of cleaning unwanted stuff now and then especialy when you have lot of cleaning to do otherwise. smiles..

Since my bed is up against the wall, I really don't see the need for a headboard. But my husband is determined to get one, so we may have a new one here sometime in the future. I like them but I don't, when we had one on our bed, it seemed to make the room smaller. And for the moment we have limited space.

I don't have a headboard on my bed. The thing is about ten years old and I bought it cause it was the cheapest new bed I could find. I think the ones with headboards are more fancy or rather look more complete then my bed. But some nice bedding can make them look good without them. They aren't really needed for anything other than looks so I don't really care that I don't have one. Vicki

I do have a headboard but you can store anything. Its just a plain headboard. If I had one like that I know my cat would be constantly in there.LOL I hardly ever lean up against thou. But it looks nice. Its dark wood and I have the big posts on the bed.

My bed that I have, I dont have a headboard and we dont even have a frame for it. I have an extra king size bed so the matteress are on the floor which is fine with me it kind of keeps the mattress firmer longer.

No I do not have a headboard. I'm not sure if I would like one or not...I don't think I have ever had one. I would probably hit my head on it after waking up lol. So I probably would not like one.

Well my bed does have a headboard, and a mirror on it to boot. But the downside to having a headboard with a bed is that sometimes the top mattress slides off and the pillows slide to the gap in the back near the bottom mattress. This happened to me many times so much that in a few instances it knocked out the power plugs from the sockets in my room, cutting off almost all my electricity. It's such a nuisance. Plus headboards are noisy with the banging and the hard wood and said mattress sliding...

All the bed i have slept got haedboard. I like the bed which has beadboard because in that bed i feel safe.

i have always loved the head boards,but right now i dont have one on my queen bed,but i hang alot of pictures and stuff so its actually nice that way.pattie

I didn't have a headboard for years until I found an antique headboard and footboard in an old abandoned barn. Guess it was worth the wait!

Our bed in our room do ahs a headboard. My hubby and i chose it because of our children. It serves as their boundaries so they will not fall nor commit injuries when they are so active. Kids are our main concern in buying anything inside our house. We always choose those that are safe or less risky.

Our current bed has not headboard. It is a platform bed, it is a great modern looking piece of furniture.

I like beds with headboards. Though I like the ones with bookcase where I can store stuff, I'd rather have a plain headboard than no headboard. I feel very uncomfortable sleeping on a bed with no headboard.

I prefer Headboard I am thinking about investing in one of them Shelves that stands over the Head Board as I think they look lovely and one Day I just might do that

We currently don't have a headboard for our king sized bed, even though I have always like beds that did have headboards. This one was bought second hand and came as it is.

My bed has a headboard and I prefer it that way. Looks nicer I think.

I do not have one. I have a picture above my bed. If I were to have one it would be a padded one that would help keep the pillows in place. I really don't prefer one way or another. Not having one is no big deal.
