Opinion re: Footboards for beds

MsCatLuver · ‎07-27-2010

Hi ALL,

I need to purchase a new bed and I was wondering your opinions regarding footboards...yay or nay. I have NEVER owned a bed with a footboard piece (yes - always headboard piece). Now that I'm looking at beds - it seems that ones with BOTH headboards & footboards seem to have a more "put-together" look. What do you think? TIA

We just kicked this subject around a couple days ago.

If you have plenty of room in your bedroom I would go for both, the bed does look more finished. with a foot board. IMO That being said, I got rid of my beds with foot boards when we moved to a smaller house.

@MsCatLuver We've had a footboard all our married lives, 47 years. While I love the look, I would opt for no footboard. Making the bed/changing the sheets would be so much easier, IMO.

Everyone on here has pretty much convinced me no footboard. I think changing sheets would be to hard.

I don't have a footboard. "My room" at my parents house had a bed with a footboard.

I don't have a prefernce one way or the other. BUT ... a footboard does look nice.

That was my husband's opinion too @coffee drinker Thanks

We have had a bed with footboard as long as we have been married. About four years ago we purchased a much needed new bedroom suit. The bed had a footboard. My husband and I both regret it. I do think a bed looks much prettier and more finished without the footboard. I also think they would be easier to change sheets and make the bed everyday, so I vote no footboard!
