Depends on the interior design
In a Victorian bedroom itβs out of place, in a modern it can be fine. In a Murphy bed itβs really odd

My bed didnt have a headboard. Nothing wrong with that.
I will say its kinda nice to have but plenty of beds dont have it. I'm sure some people see it as odd or cheap but who cares what they think? Its my bed. And a headboard can be added to most frames. Hell i used 2 ikea tables mashed together as headboard for a while.
I'm pretty sure there are also just headboards one can buy as a separate thing so if one finds a need for it, grab it later.
Personally the only thing I really like about headboards is the ones that have a reading light and/or a bit of storage built in.
Yea I grew up without a headboard and don't really notice it, but I can see how it might make the room look empty.
Personally I think
Good headboard > no headboard > bad headboard
I'd rather not have one that's loose/shaking/damaging the wall
What makes a bad headboard?
Some of them shake and rattle whenever you move little, or how you can't push against them without it damaging the wall
I'd assume cheaper ones aren't that great, but I don't have specific buying advice
That's something only a headboardless bed owner could say.. pathetic
Jk, totally true especially the part with do not care so much about what other people think
According to me, who cares. According to my wife though, buy a fucking headboard! :D
They are clutter magnets, we got rid of ours.
No.
I like to hang my toes off the end of the bed, not a fan of headboards.
Turn the other way?
I've only heard of that if you don't have something below the mattress
Yes, it is seen as cheap because it is cheaper.
Short answer yes itβs seen as the cheaper option. It depends on the style of room but can make the area look, βincompleteβ.
