Headboards fitted securely to bedroom walls. Mounted level, solid, won't wobble or slide down over time.
### Finish Your Bedroom Properly
Bed looks incomplete without a headboard. **Fitted properly, they look built-in.** Fitted badly, they wobble, slide down, and drive you mad.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Don't lean headboards against the wall without fixing. They slide down, mark walls, and fall forward eventually. Twenty minutes to fit properly saves years of annoyance.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Heavy upholstered headboards** need solid fixings - they're heavier than they look and get leaned on. Make sure wall can take it. **Divan beds:** If your bed base is a divan with headboard struts built in, you might not need wall mounting - headboard slots into the bed. Check what you've got first.
Frequently Asked Questions about Headboard fitting in Dawlish
How do you stop headboards wobbling?
Proper wall fixings are key. Headboards get leaned on, sat against, bumped. They need to be solid. I use heavy-duty fixings into solid wall or studs so there's no movement at all.
Can you fit headboards to plasterboard walls?
Yes but needs wall anchors or finding studs. Headboards are heavy and get pressure, so plasterboard alone won't hold them. I use appropriate fixings for the wall type.
What height should a headboard be?
Usually 140-160cm from floor (top of headboard) depending on mattress height. Looks best if it's 60-80cm above the mattress. I can position based on your bed and preference.
Do I need to provide the headboard?
Yes - buy the headboard you want, then I'll fit it level and secure. Measure your bed first so you get the right size.
Will fitting damage the headboard or wall?
I drill carefully to minimize damage. Small holes in the wall from fixings, which fill easily if you move it later. Headboard should have mounting points already - I just use those.
