Custom Headboards & Bed Frames in the Fort Lee & NYC Area
Every bed and headboard is built to order in our workshop — nothing is pre‑made or imported. All of our custom pieces are handcrafted in the USA across our two in‑house facilities: our Fort Lee upholstery workshop and our West Nyack CNC fabrication shop. Nothing is outsourced — every component is built by our team with American craftsmanship, precision, and pride.
Our custom headboards and bed frames are engineered, fabricated, and upholstered with architectural accuracy. Whether you need a dramatic wall‑to‑wall headboard, a tailored upholstered frame, a storage‑integrated base, or a fully coordinated bedroom centerpiece, every piece is built from the ground up using premium materials and advanced fabrication methods.
While furniture retailers sell catalog pieces, our studio builds true custom work — designed around your room, your mattress, your ceiling height, and your architectural layout.
Serving: Fort Lee, Bergen County, NYC, Westchester, Rockland, and Fairfield County.

Custom Fabrication — Not Retail Furniture
Most companies that appear when you search for “custom bed” or “custom headboard” are actually retailers selling pre-made products with limited options. We are different. We are a custom fabrication studio and upholstery shop that builds every bed and headboard from raw materials, to order.
When we say “custom,” we mean:
- Built from scratch to your exact measurements and room layout
- Designed around your mattress size, ceiling height, and wall width
- Fabricated in-house using solid wood, premium plywood, and high-quality upholstery materials
- Tailored to your fabric, leather, finish, and detailing preferences
- Engineered for long-term strength, comfort, and daily use
Nothing is mass-produced, imported, or pulled from a warehouse. Every piece is a one-of-a-kind build.

Our work is ideal for homeowners, designers, and architects looking for:
- Designer headboard upholstery

Why Retail Stores Can’t Build True Custom Beds
Retail furniture stores and online sellers often advertise “custom options,” but they are limited to pre-set sizes, finishes, and configurations. They cannot truly build around your space, your architecture, or your specific needs.
Retail sellers typically:
- Offer fixed dimensions that cannot be changed
- Cannot build wall-to-wall or floor-to-ceiling installations
- Cannot match existing furniture, millwork, or cabinetry
- Cannot work with your designer fabrics or COM (Customer’s Own Material)
- Cannot build oversized, extra-tall, or non-standard shapes
- Cannot integrate lighting, outlets, or storage into the structure
- Cannot fabricate on-site for tight stairways, elevators, or unique layouts
We are a fabrication studio. We design and build each piece specifically for your room, your lifestyle, and your long-term use.
Materials We Trust for Custom Headboards & Bed Frames
Every piece we build starts with a strong internal structure and finishes that are chosen for both beauty and performance.
For coil‑spring platforms, we use tempered steel coils and traditional jute webbing for proper tension and longevity.
- Frames: Solid wood and premium plywood — Walnut, Mahogany, Maple — selected based on design, usage, and finish requirement
- Foam & Fillings: High-density foams and traditional fillings for comfort and support
- Fabrics & Leathers: Designer textiles, performance fabrics, and fine leathers suitable for daily use
- Hardware: Reinforced brackets, quality fasteners, and soft-close mechanisms where applicable
- Finishes: Stains, paints, and protective coatings tailored to your aesthetic and maintenance needs

8‑Way Hand‑Tied Coil Spring Bed Platform
Our shop builds traditional coil‑spring bed platforms using the 8‑way hand‑tied method, a technique known for its stability, durability, and long‑term comfort. Each platform begins with a hardwood frame, followed by individually placed steel coils that are hand‑tied in eight directions for even tension and support. After the spring system is secured, the platform is padded, leveled, and upholstered to match the headboard and surrounding design. This construction method provides a responsive, long‑lasting foundation that outperforms modern webbing or foam‑only bases, especially for clients who want a classic, resilient bed structure.
This traditional construction method is rarely offered today, but it remains one of the strongest and most resilient bed foundations ever built.
