Industrial headboards — reclaimed and solid wood on hand-forged iron.
A wood panel with real grain, set into a black powder-coated wrought-iron frame with its bolts and brackets on show — the loft, factory and farmhouse look that anchors an industrial range. We manufacture industrial headboards in Jodhpur to any bed standard, finish them to your spec, keep them EUDR-ready, and ship from a single trial order up to repeat container volumes.
Honest materials, exposed structure — the look that sells a loft bedroom.
The industrial style is built on two ideas: material honesty and visible structure. We start with a solid-wood heart — sheesham, mango, acacia, teak or salvaged old wood with its natural grain and, on reclaimed stock, genuine saw marks and patina — then set it into a hand-forged wrought-iron frame finished in matt black or gunmetal. Nothing is hidden: bolts, flat-bar brackets, pipe joints and weld seams are left on show as the design, the way a factory, loft or farmhouse interior wants them. The result pairs the warmth of real timber with the weight and edge of raw metal, which is exactly why it reads as a hero piece for urban, farmhouse and industrial ranges rather than a generic panel. Because both the wood and the iron are made in-house across our Jodhpur network, the proportions, the finish and the hardware stay consistent across a full container run.
Why wood-and-iron works for a headboard.
| Attribute | Industrial headboard characteristic |
|---|---|
| Construction | Solid or reclaimed wood panel into a welded wrought-iron or pipe-style frame |
| Character | Exposed bolts, brackets and welds; real grain and, on reclaimed stock, authentic patina |
| Strength | Steel frame carries the load; wood panel re-machined with bolt-through fixings |
| Stability | Kiln-dried, seasoned hardwood on a rigid metal frame — minimal movement in service |
| Weight | Heavy — factor freight; knockdown builds protect container economics |
| Best setting | Loft and urban apartments, farmhouse ranges, boutique hotels, eco-positioned lines |
| Sustainability | Reclaimed-wood option diverts timber from waste; FSC and Vriksh handling on request |
| Consistency | In-house wood and metalwork hold proportion and finish across a full run |
The metal side is detailed in the wrought-iron material guide, and the salvaged-timber story in the reclaimed wood material guide. We recommend approving a physical sample before production so the wood tone and metal finish are locked to your range.
Every market size, built to your mattress and finish spec.
We manufacture to US, UK and European bed standards and to fully custom widths and heights. The table shows typical US headboard sizing as a guide; final width, height, leg clearance and fixing type are confirmed on your order.
| US bed size | Mattress width | Typical headboard width |
|---|---|---|
| Twin | 39 in / 99 cm | 41–43 in / 104–109 cm |
| Full / Double | 54 in / 137 cm | 56–58 in / 142–147 cm |
| Queen | 60 in / 152 cm | 62–64 in / 157–163 cm |
| King | 76 in / 193 cm | 78–80 in / 198–203 cm |
| California King | 72 in / 183 cm | 74–76 in / 188–193 cm |
Frame styles
Flat-bar grid, square-pipe or round-pipe surround, strap-hinge detailing and riveted or bolted corner plates. Wood as a single plank panel, stacked boards or framed slats — freestanding on iron legs, wall-mounted or integrated into a matching bed frame.
Wood & metal finishes
Wood in natural oil, stain, distressed or weathered tones; iron in matt black, gunmetal, raw-steel look or antique powder-coat, rust-inhibited for long life. Wood finishes are CARB / TSCA Title VI formaldehyde-compliant; any RAL or reference matched for private label.
Packing & shipping
Assembled or knockdown (flat-pack / RTA) with bolt-through fittings — important given the combined weight of iron and hardwood. Carton, retail-ready, Amazon-FBA-ready or branded packaging; ISPM-15 heat-treated export packing, FOB or CIF from Mundra / Nhava Sheva.
Documented timber and finishes your market accepts.
The wood in every industrial headboard is covered by FSC chain-of-custody and Vriksh timber-legality, with CITES-compliant handling of Dalbergia sissoo where sheesham is used. Pieces are EUDR-ready with geolocation and deforestation-free due diligence, supported for US Lacey Act declarations and UK Timber Regulation, and finished with CARB / TSCA Title VI-compliant materials. The metalwork is rust-inhibited and the whole piece is packed to ISPM-15 for export. Social and quality assurance run through SEDEX / SMETA, ISO and SGS inspection. Certificate references go directly to serious buyers — never published — so your compliance file holds up at the port.

Built to take knocks — and easy to keep looking right.
An industrial headboard is forgiving by design: the powder-coated iron shrugs off daily contact, and on reclaimed or distressed wood a new mark simply blends into the existing character rather than standing out. Day to day, dust the metal with a dry or lightly damp cloth and buff dry to keep the coat matt, and treat natural-finish wood with an occasional wood-friendly wax or oil. Keep the piece out of prolonged direct sun and standing damp to protect both the wood tone and the rust-inhibited coat, and avoid abrasive or solvent cleaners on the finish. Bolt-through fittings can be checked and re-tightened in seconds — one of the practical advantages of visible hardware. We supply care guidance with every order so your retail and hospitality customers get consistent advice and your reviews stay clean.
Industrial headboard sourcing, answered.
What makes a headboard industrial?
The industrial look pairs honest materials with exposed structure: a reclaimed or solid-wood panel set into a black powder-coated wrought-iron or pipe-style frame, with visible bolts, brackets and welds left as a design feature rather than hidden. We build the wood heart in sheesham, mango, acacia or salvaged old teak, then marry it to hand-forged iron so each piece carries the loft, factory and farmhouse character that anchors an industrial or urban range.
What woods and metal finishes are used in your industrial headboards?
The wood panel is solid sheesham, mango, acacia, teak or reclaimed old wood, finished in natural oil, stain, distressed or weathered tones. The metalwork is hand-forged wrought iron in a matt-black, gunmetal, raw-steel-look or antique powder-coat — CARB/TSCA Title VI-compliant on the wood finishes and rust-inhibited on the iron. We match any RAL or reference you send for a private-label program.
What bed sizes do you make industrial headboards for?
We build to any market's bed standard — for US buyers that is Twin, Full/Double, Queen, King and California King, plus UK and European sizes and fully custom widths and heights to your drawing. Freestanding, wall-mounted and bed-frame-integrated fixings are all available, and the iron frame can be sized to clear your mattress and base height.
Can industrial headboards ship flat-pack to save freight?
Yes. The wood panel and iron frame are engineered to ship knockdown (flat-pack / RTA) with bolt-through fittings, which lowers freight cost and breakage risk and maximises container density — valuable given the weight of iron and dense hardwood. Assembled builds are available where your channel prefers them.
What is the minimum order for industrial headboards?
A sample or trial piece can ship LCL (part-container) so you approve the wood, metal finish and build first. For best wholesale pricing thereafter, one 20ft full container load is our standard minimum, and we consolidate industrial headboards with matching beds, nightstands and wood-and-iron pieces into one mixed container.
Are your industrial headboards compliant for US and EU import?
Yes. We document FSC chain-of-custody, Vriksh timber-legality and CITES-compliant sheesham, with ISO, SGS and SEDEX/SMETA audits. We are EUDR-ready with geolocation and deforestation-free due diligence, and we support US Lacey Act declarations, UK Timber Regulation, CARB/TSCA formaldehyde-compliant finishes and ISPM-15 heat-treated export packaging.
Send your sizes, wood tone and metal finish — we'll quote FOB/CIF with lead times.
Trial order on LCL, full containers thereafter, a 30–45 day lead time, QC on every piece and a factory visit on prior intimation. Compare the full material range on the headboards hub and build a coherent industrial bedroom range from one compliant source.
