What is an upholstered bedhead?

An upholstered bedhead is a headboard that has been covered in upholstery foam, wadding & upholstery fabric. All BedNest upholstered bedheads feature the selected fabric on the front, top and sides & calico on the reverse.

Are BedNest bedheads free-standing?

Yes - a free-standing bedhead stands behind your bed base and does not require any fittings, brackets or drilling. The weight of the bed helps to hold it in place. All BedNest bedheads stand on inset plastic glides to protect the base. We offer a tailored cut-out service in the back of the frame on request to fit around your skirting board - skirting dimensions can be added at the checkout. Larger bedheads can be fixed to the wall if required. If ordered with a bed base they will be designed and made to be attached.

Do any BedNest products have removable covers?

The Willow and Hampton bedheads features a slip cover. The fabric cover is removable and can be taken off for cleaning, or to replace with a new choice of fabric. Depending on the fabric choice the cover can be washed or cleaned separately.

What products are in the BedNest range?

BedNest makes upholstered bedheads, beds, ottomans, chairs, valances & cushions.

Fabrics

What are the sizes & dimensions of BedNest products?

Please click here to read our detailed size guide to help you with the sizes and dimensions of all of our products.

The diamond buttoning on our Oxford and Raffles bedheads allow for a top of mattress height of 60cm. Please advise (at the checkout) if your mattress height is any higher so we can make an allowance.

Our bedheads are free-standing behind your bed base and does not require any fittings, brackets or drilling. The weight of the bed helps to hold it in place. All BedNest bedheads stand on inset "invisible" plastic glides to protect the base. We offer a tailored cut-out service in the back of the frame on request to fit around your skirting board - skirting dimensions can be added at the checkout.

All details added at the checkout will be confirmed with a follow-up email or phone call.

What is a 2 piece bed base?

A 2 piece bed base is an option for customers where delivery access may be tight. The base section of the bed is made in 2 pieces to help with delivery. The 2 pieces are easily joined once the bed is in situ. There is a visible join in the upholstered foot of the bed - this is very tailored and unobtrusive. There is no impact on the structural integrity. There is an additional cost for a 2 piece base.

Can I still have a bedhead if I have skirting boards in my bedroom?

Absolutely.

If your skirting board is less than 2.5cms deep then we don't generally need to do anything unless you specifically request it, the headboard will slot into place behind your bed. If your skirting board is more than 2.5cms deep just let us know by making a note in the special instructions box when you confirm your order. Simply measure the height and width of your skirting and we can make a tailored cut-out in the back of the frame to allow the bedhead to sit flush against the wall. These measurements can be added in the special instructions box at the checkout.

How high are the bedheads?

As all our furniture is custom made in Sydney we are able to make your bedhead to the exact height you require.

The photography for our bedheads range in size and will be mentioned on each page. Please get in touch if you would like any adjustments as we are happy to bring it up or down for what you need!

Our standard bedhead height is 120cm unless specified. The exception is our King Single and Single bedheads which have a standard height of 105cm. This works better proportionally with the smaller sizes.

Our Stockholm bed is also a standalone design which is a lower profile piece - the standard is 105cms.

Is there a trundle option to go with kids beds?

Yes there is - our trundle is effectively an upholstered open box with no legs for occasional use. Please see our gallery or testimonials for an image.
