Iron and wood headboards — solid-wood panels on a hand-forged iron frame.
Pair the slim rigidity of welded iron with the grain and warmth of solid wood and you get the industrial-modern and farmhouse headboard buyers keep asking for. We manufacture iron-and-wood headboards in Jodhpur — powder-coated steel with mango, acacia, reclaimed or sheesham panels — legally sourced, FSC and EUDR-ready, finished to your spec and shipped from a single trial order up to repeat container volumes.
A slim steel frame and honest timber, each doing what it does best.
The headboard is the piece a customer judges a bedroom range by, so it has to read premium and arrive flawless. An iron-and-wood headboard delivers both at a freight-friendly weight. The hand-forged iron frame or uprights give a thin, strong structure that stays square, never racks and never loosens where it bolts to the wall or bed — the reliability hospitality and rental buyers need across years of use. The wood is the character: solid mango, acacia, reclaimed old teak or sheesham set as panels, horizontal slats, a capped crossbar or plank infill, bringing grain, warmth and tactility the metal alone cannot. Together they create the signature contrast of matte-black steel against lustrous timber, and real flexibility for your range — specify value mango on a volume line or reclaimed teak with saw marks on a design-led hero piece, and match the iron colour and wood finish to the beds and nightstands around it. Because frame and panels break down flat, the headboard is also highly freight-efficient, a strong all-round proposition for importers.

Knockdown by design — iron frame, legs and wood panels nest flat with bolt-through connectors for high container density and low breakage. Carton, retail-ready, Amazon-FBA-ready or branded packaging; ISPM-15 heat-treated export packing, FOB or CIF from Mundra / Nhava Sheva.
Two materials, one documented supply chain.
A mixed-material headboard has to satisfy both timber regulation and metalware quality standards — and we document both. The solid-wood panels ship with FSC chain-of-custody on request, Vriksh timber-legality verification, and EUDR-ready geolocation and due-diligence data, with CITES-compliant handling where sheesham is used. The iron frame is covered by ISO quality management, SGS third-party inspection and SEDEX / SMETA ethical audit, with chemical-compliant powder-coat and CARB / TSCA Title VI formaldehyde-compliant wood finishes. We provide US Lacey Act declaration support and UK Timber Regulation coverage, with ISPM-15 heat-treated export packing. Certificate references go directly to serious buyers — never published.

Metal strength, wood warmth, minimal upkeep.
Because the iron frame carries the structure, an iron-and-wood headboard keeps the durability of metal construction: the welded uprights stay square and silent, and bolt-through connectors let it dismantle and reassemble across house moves without weakening. The wood panels are kiln-dried and finished to resist everyday wear, protected to suit the species — oiled, stained or lacquered. Care is simple: wipe the iron with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid abrasives that mar the powder-coat; dust the wood with a dry or lightly damp cloth, keep it out of direct heat and strong sun, and refresh natural finishes with a wood-friendly wax or oil. Coating chips touch in with matched paint. Full care guidance ships with every order so your retail and hospitality customers protect the finish — and your reviews.
Build the look across your bedroom range.
Iron-and-wood headboards pair naturally with matching beds, nightstands and benches, so you can land one coherent, documented collection in a single container. Dig deeper into the two materials that define this piece, or widen the pairing with reclaimed timber for authentic patina.

What is an iron and wood headboard?
It is a headboard that pairs a hand-forged, powder-coated iron frame or uprights with solid-wood panels, slats or a capped crossbar. The iron gives a slim, rigid structure that never racks or loosens; the wood brings grain, warmth and tactility. Together they create the signature industrial-modern and farmhouse look — matte metal against honest timber — in a panel that mounts to the wall, stands freestanding or bolts to an existing bed frame.
Which woods do you combine with the iron frame?
Most often mango, acacia, reclaimed old teak and sheesham, each chosen for the look and budget of your range — mango for value and lustrous grain, acacia for dense character, reclaimed for authentic patina and saw marks, sheesham for dark richness. The iron is heavy-gauge solid bar, powder-coated in your chosen colour, and we match the wood finish and metal tone to your collection.
What bed sizes and fixings do you make iron and wood headboards for?
We build to any market's bed standard — US Twin, Full/Double, Queen, King and California King, plus UK and European sizes and fully custom widths and heights. Each headboard ships as freestanding on floor legs, wall-mounted, or drilled to bolt onto a standard bed-frame bracket, confirmed on your order.
Do iron and wood headboards ship flat-packed?
Yes. The iron frame, legs and wood panels separate and nest flat with bolt-through connectors, which cuts freight volume and transit breakage and lifts container density — ideal for large importers and online sellers. We supply carton, retail-ready and Amazon-FBA-ready packaging, with assembled builds available where a design requires it.
What is your minimum order for iron and wood headboards?
A sample or trial headboard can ship LCL (part-container) so you approve wood, finish and iron colour first. For best wholesale pricing thereafter, one 20ft full container load is our standard minimum, and we consolidate headboards with beds, nightstands and the rest of your bedroom range into one mixed, compliant container.
Are iron and wood headboards compliant for US and EU import?
Yes. The solid-wood panels carry FSC chain-of-custody and Vriksh timber-legality with CITES-compliant handling where sheesham is used, and are EUDR-ready with geolocation. We support US Lacey Act declarations and UK Timber Regulation, finish with CARB / TSCA Title VI-compliant materials, and pack to ISPM-15. The iron is covered by ISO, SGS and SEDEX / SMETA.
Approve the pairing, then ship from one container up.
