Choosing a 36″ Headboard Strut
The correct strut length depends on the complete headboard and bed arrangement.
Consider:
- Overall headboard height
- Mattress depth
- Bed-base height
- Position of the bed-base fixing points
- Position of the structural timber rail
- Required finished headboard height
- Available adjustment
- Floor clearance
- Wall clearance
- Skirting-board projection
A longer strut should only be selected where the dimensions and mounting arrangement require the additional length.
Alternative Wooden Headboard Strut Sizes
Livedale also supplies shorter hardwood headboard struts.
For smaller or lower applications, see 24″ Wooden Headboard Struts.
For medium and larger headboard applications, see 30″ Wooden Headboard Struts.
Select the strut size according to the headboard construction, mounting points and finished position.
Headboard Bolts & Furniture Fixings
Wooden headboard struts are used with compatible bed-base mounting hardware.
The Combined Headboard Bolt & Washer provides a fixing option for suitable divan and headboard fittings.
The bolt and receiving thread must match correctly, while the washer helps spread clamping force across the timber strut.

Foam Sheets for Upholstered Headboards
Livedale supplies Foam Sheets for upholstered headboards, furniture panels and general furniture padding.
Foam is available in a range of grades and thicknesses for different padding requirements and finished profiles.

Polyester Wadding for Headboard Padding
Polyester Wadding is suitable for padded headboards and broad upholstered furniture panels.
It helps soften the edges of upholstery foam and provides a smoother, fuller surface beneath the final covering.
Livedale supplies polyester wadding in several weights and widths for professional upholstery and furniture manufacture.
Wadding should be bonded securely to foam using Livedale Heavy Duty Spray Adhesive.
This helps keep the wadding evenly positioned, reduces movement and bunching during upholstery work and helps achieve a smooth, consistent finish.
Heavy Duty Spray Adhesive for Headboard Upholstery
Livedale Heavy Duty Spray Adhesive is suitable for professional upholstery bonding applications involving compatible foam, wadding and other upholstery materials.
Its sprayable format is useful where even adhesive coverage is required across broader padded surfaces.
