The History Of Headboards & Why You Need One

As a child we rarely cared about how our bedrooms looked, so we can safely say that we really didn’t pay any attention to our furniture. However, as we began to leave our childhood, into adolescence, and finally into adulthood, our interior designing tastes began to wake up. For instance, an essential piece of furniture that we take for granted is none other than, our headboard.

The History Of The Headboard

Headboards, in ancient times were created for the sole purpose of blocking cold drafts during the night, allowing people during that time to sleep warm and cozy. Headboards date back to the Pharaoh’s in Egypt, where bed headboards, were used to be a sign of social status, The Greeks, updated the wooden and stone headboards with cushions for extra support, thus giving birth to the 21st century bed headboard we know of today.
