Jocisland's King Size bed frame with a 61.4" extra tall tufted velvet wingback headboard in cream, an elegant tall statement bed.
If you sit up to read or work in bed, a short headboard leaves your shoulders and head against a bare wall, so you end up stacking pillows to fill the gap. For a taller person, a low headboard also looks undersized, cutting the bed off well below where your back actually rests. The headboards here stand taller than the usual panel, giving you something to lean against and better proportion in the room. Measure your seated back height to pick a panel that reaches past your shoulders.
