Ideal height for a king headboard?
4 years ago
We are ordering a custom headboard for a king bed. We haven’t selected our bed frame and mattress yet, but the top of the mattress will be 24-26 inches high from the floor.
What is the ideal height of a headboard?
I read online that for a king bed, a headboard should be 58" above the top of the mattress. But 58" H above a 24" H mattress - 82" in total, seems really high!
Any recommendations?
