Billy Headboard
One of our most popular designs. Offering elegant flower-like moulds and brass balls, the Billy Headboard will make a stylist addition to your bedroom.
The simplicity of the Billy Cast Iron Headboard makes it an ideal choice. Its simple design sits well in a contemporary or modern home where it adds character in a subtle way.
Hand cast at our Cornwall foundry and made with all the traditional fixings you would expect from an authentic re-production.
The Billy Headboard can also be manufactured as a bedstead, bed surround, four-poster bed or as a bedstead with no foot end. You can order your Billy in any of our house metal colour options or in any colour not shown starting from an extra £100. If you would like to swap brass details for nickel on your bed, our team would be happy to personalise it for you starting from an extra £100, depending on design and brass elements included.
We cast our beds and headboards to exacting standards using time-honoured skills and craftsmanship. Every bed and headboard is made individually to order, numbered, and signed off by one of our craftsmen. With The Cornish Bed Company, you can be confident that your headboard will last lifetimes and will become an antique in the future.

All our headboards are available in the eight standard UK mattress sizes. As we craft our beds and headboards to order, just for you, so we can customize the size of your headboard as required.
