Custom Headboards Built to Your Exact Design
Every bed and headboard is built to order in our workshop — nothing is pre‑made or imported.
Your headboard should be more than a backdrop — it should be the centerpiece of your bedroom. We design and build custom headboards in any shape, size, or style, using solid internal structures, premium materials, and precise upholstery work. Whether you want a modern channel‑upholstered silhouette, a classic tufted design, or a full wall‑to‑wall installation, every headboard is made to your exact specifications.
Serving Fort Lee, Bergen County, NYC, Westchester, Rockland, and Fairfield County.
Custom Fabrication — Not Retail Headboards
Most “custom headboards” sold online are catalog pieces with limited fabric choices and fixed dimensions. They cannot be adjusted to your wall height, room layout, or architectural details. We are different. We are a custom fabrication studio and upholstery shop that builds every headboard from raw materials, to order.
- 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 quality upholstery materials
- Tailored to your fabric, leather, finish, and detailing preferences
- Engineered for long‑term stability, comfort, and daily use
Nothing is mass‑produced, imported, or pulled from a warehouse. Every headboard is a one‑of‑a‑kind build.

Each headboard is fabricated in our workshop and installed on site when required.
