Teak headboards — weather-stable hardwood panels for luxury, coastal and hospitality beds.
A headboard is the widest single panel in a bedroom set, and the one most likely to bow or split if the wood moves. Teak barely moves. We manufacture solid teak headboards in Jodhpur — plain, carved, cane- or iron-combined — legally sourced, FSC and EUDR-ready, finished to your spec and shipped from a single trial order up to repeat container volumes.
The wood that stays flat across a King-width panel.
The enemy of a headboard is width. A Queen or King panel is a broad expanse of timber held at the edges, and ordinary hardwoods respond to humidity and seasonal change by cupping, bowing or opening at the glue lines — exactly where a customer notices it. Teak (Tectona grandis) is built to resist that. Its high natural oil and silica content give it the best dimensional stability of any hardwood we work, so a wide teak panel stays calm and true for decades. The same oils make it naturally resistant to moisture, insects and fungal decay — which is why teak is the specifier's choice for coastal bedrooms, villa and resort suites, and wet-adjacent rooms where other woods fail. And teak simply looks the part: a warm golden-brown grain with quiet, even figure that frames a bed as genuinely high-end. It is a premium timber, and on the hero panel of a bedroom range, it is the one that earns the premium.
What makes teak right for the widest panel in the room.
| Attribute | Teak headboard characteristic |
|---|---|
| Wood type | Premium tropical hardwood (Tectona grandis) — solid teak across the panel and frame |

| Natural durability | Very high — oils and silica resist moisture, insects and fungal decay without heavy sealing |
| Grain & colour | Warm golden-brown, straight to lightly wavy grain; even figure that frames a bed cleanly |
| Workability | Takes crisp hand-carving, jali fretwork and CNC detail without chipping across repeat runs |
| Best setting | Luxury residences, villas, resorts, coastal and humid climates, wet-adjacent and spa rooms |
| Fixings | Freestanding, wall-mounted or bed-frame-integrated, to your market's standard |
| Sustainability | FSC chain-of-custody and Vriksh timber-legality on request; EUDR-ready sourcing |
Colour, figure and grade vary by teak log, so we recommend approving a physical sample before production. Request a teak headboard sample for grain and finish references, or read the full species profile in the teak wood material guide.
Built to your market's bed standard — or your exact drawing.
We manufacture teak headboards to US, UK and European bed standards and to fully custom widths and heights. The table shows typical US sizing as a guide; final width, height, leg length, 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 |
Styles
Plain and panelled teak, hand-carved Saharanpur-style relief, jali fretwork, and CNC-patterned designs for consistent repeat runs. Teak also combines beautifully with woven cane, hand-forged wrought iron or upholstery over a solid-teak frame.
Finishes
Natural, teak-oiled for a warm matte tone, or sealed matt / satin lacquer — all in CARB / TSCA Title VI formaldehyde-compliant formulations. Teak needs no heavy sealing; the finish is chosen for appearance and consistency across your range.
Packing & shipping
Most designs ship knockdown / flat-pack to cut freight and breakage and maximise container density; assembled where the design requires it. Carton, retail-ready, Amazon-FBA-ready or branded packaging; ISPM-15 heat-treated, FOB or CIF from Mundra / Nhava Sheva.

A headboard that asks almost nothing of its owner.
Teak is kiln-dried to a stable moisture content before the panel is built, and its natural oils keep the wood dimensionally calm long after assembly — so a wide headboard stays flat and its joints stay tight through years of humidity change. Care is minimal: dust with a soft, dry or lightly damp cloth, buff dry, and keep the piece out of direct heat and strong sun. An oiled teak headboard can be lightly re-oiled once or twice a year to hold its golden warmth, but this is purely cosmetic — teak's durability does not depend on a finish. Where cane panels are combined, they prefer stable humidity; upholstered faces are spot-cleaned per the fabric; and any iron elements are powder-coated against scuffing. Full care and finish guidance ships with every order, so your retail and hospitality customers protect the finish — and your reviews.
Teak headboard sourcing, answered.
Why choose a teak headboard over cheaper woods?
Teak (Tectona grandis) carries high natural oils and silica that give it the best dimensional stability of any hardwood we work. A teak headboard barely moves through humidity and seasonal change, so a wide Queen or King panel stays flat and true instead of bowing or splitting at the joints. The same oils resist moisture, insects and fungal decay, and the warm golden grain reads as unmistakably premium — which is why teak sits at the top of a bedroom range for luxury, coastal and five-star hospitality buyers.
What bed sizes do you make teak headboards for?
We build to any market's bed standard. For US buyers that means Twin, Full/Double, Queen, King and California King; we also produce 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 headboard height, leg length and clearance are confirmed on your order.
Can a teak headboard be used in a bathroom, poolside or coastal bedroom?
Yes — this is where teak earns its premium. Its natural oils resist moisture and salt air without heavy sealing, so teak headboards suit humid coastal rooms, villa and resort suites, and spa or wet-adjacent settings where other hardwoods would warp or spot. We can finish for a stable indoor tone or leave the wood closer to natural for a relaxed coastal look.
What finishes and styles can you produce in teak?
Teak takes crisp hand-carving and CNC detail, so we make plain, panelled, hand-carved Saharanpur-style and jali-fretwork headboards, as well as teak combined with wrought iron, cane or upholstery on a solid-teak frame. Finishes include natural, teak-oiled for a warm matte tone, and matt or satin lacquer — all in CARB / TSCA Title VI formaldehyde-compliant formulations. We produce our own catalogue designs (ODM) or build to your drawings and private-label brief (OEM).
Is your teak legally and sustainably sourced?
Yes. We document FSC chain-of-custody and Vriksh timber-legality verification on teak, with EUDR-ready geolocation and deforestation-free due diligence. We support US Lacey Act declarations, UK Timber Regulation, CARB / TSCA-compliant finishes and ISPM-15 heat-treated export packaging, with SEDEX / SMETA, ISO and SGS assurance. Certificate references are shared directly with serious buyers, never published.
What is your minimum order, and can teak headboards ship flat-pack?
A sample or trial headboard can ship LCL (part-container) so you approve grain, finish and build first. For best wholesale pricing thereafter, one 20ft full container load is our standard minimum, and we consolidate teak headboards with matching teak beds, nightstands and benches into one container. Most headboard designs ship knockdown or flat-pack to cut freight and breakage — ideal for large importers and online sellers.
Approve the grain and build, then ship from one container up.
Sign off grain, finish and detailing on a physical sample, then scale from a trial LCL order to repeat container volumes on a 30–45 day lead time — QC-governed, documented for your market, with a factory visit on prior intimation. Pair your teak headboards with matching solid teak beds, or read the full species profile in the teak wood material guide.
