Built for Design, Engineered for Comfort & Longevity
Every headboard we build is engineered from the inside out. Each piece is hand‑built with solid hardwood frames, CNC‑cut substrates, premium foam, and master‑crafted upholstery to create a headboard that looks refined and performs under daily use.
From primary suites to boutique hotels, every headboard is built around your space — your measurements, your ceiling height, and your architectural layout — never a catalog template.

Custom Headboards FAQ
Do you build fully custom headboards from scratch?
Yes. Every headboard we build is fully custom — not modified retail. We design and fabricate each piece from scratch across our Fort Lee upholstery workshop and West Nyack CNC facility, tailored to your dimensions, room layout, and design vision.
Can you build extra-tall, wall-to-wall, or floor-to-ceiling headboards?
Yes. We regularly build oversized, extra-tall, wall-to-wall, and floor-to-ceiling headboards for primary suites and designer-led projects. Systems can be wall-mounted, bed-mounted, or integrated with upholstered wall panels for a continuous architectural look.
Can you match a designer photo or inspiration image?
Yes. We can match or reinterpret designer headboards, hotel inspiration, Pinterest images, or architectural details. We adjust proportions, height, and detailing to fit your mattress size, ceiling height, and room geometry.
What materials can you use for custom headboards?
We work with performance fabrics, linen, velvet, suede, full-grain leather, faux leather, and COM (Customer’s Own Material). High-density foams, layered padding, decorative stitching, and trim details are selected based on comfort, durability, and design intent.
Do you accept COM (Customer’s Own Material)?
Yes. We regularly work with COM fabrics and leathers specified by designers and homeowners. We review yardage, durability, and suitability for the design before production so the headboard performs well over time.
Can you integrate lighting, outlets, or built-ins with the headboard?
Yes. We coordinate with electricians, cabinet shops, and millwork teams to integrate reading lights, sconces, outlets, switches, and built-ins. The headboard is engineered to align with your wall layout, nightstands, and surrounding cabinetry.
Do you deliver and install custom headboards?
Yes. We provide white-glove delivery and installation across Fort Lee, Bergen County, NYC, Westchester, Rockland, and Fairfield County. For tight-access spaces and NYC apartments, we design modular or split systems to navigate elevators and stairways.
How long does a custom headboard project take?
Most custom headboards are completed within several weeks after design approval and material confirmation. Timelines depend on complexity, COM availability, and any coordination with wall panels, built-ins, or lighting.
