A real one

A headboard, built start to finish by hand.

Wood frame, foam, a layer of batting, then the fabric pulled tight and stapled under tension by our craftsman, who has done this since 1988. Photographed on a walnut platform bed the day it was finished.

Yours is built the same way, to the width of your wall, in any fabric from the catalogue or one you send us.

Questions

Questions people ask us

How much does a custom headboard cost in Toronto?

Our headboards start at CAD $2,500 plus HST for a wall-mounted headboard up to six feet wide, and add about $350 per extra foot. Fabric from our tier 1 lines is included; tier 2 adds about 8%, tier 3 about 18%. Delivery and installation in the GTA are included.

How tall and how wide can it be?

Any height from 91 cm (36 in) to the ceiling, and any width. Wide pieces are built in sections that join behind the fabric, so they get up the stairs.

Wall-mounted or on the bed frame?

Either. A wall-mounted headboard hangs on a cleat and works with the bed you have. A frame-mounted headboard bolts to the bed. If you are not sure, send a photo of the bed and we will tell you which.

Can you extend or re-cover the headboard I already own?

Yes. A re-cover starts at CAD $250. An extension, taller or wider, is quoted from a photo and the measurements.

How long does a headboard take?

Three to five weeks from deposit. We confirm the date with your quote.
