My Experience With Measuring A Headboard

When I was redecorating my bedroom, I decided to switch up my headboard. I found a beautiful one online, but before I could purchase it, I needed to measure my bed to make sure it would fit. I had never measured a headboard before, so I had to do some research to figure out how to do it correctly.

How To Measure A Headboard

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Measure the width of your bed frame or mattress
2. Determine the desired height of your headboard
3. Add any additional inches for decorative elements, such as a curved or tufted design
4. Measure the distance between the top of your mattress and the desired height of your headboard
5. Add the height of your headboard to the distance between the top of your mattress and the desired height
6. This final measurement is the total height of your headboard

It’s important to measure carefully to ensure that your headboard fits properly and looks great in your space.
