Hi MSC! Since your fabric allows only one direction, I would suggest you sew together several panels of the fabric to make one larger piece – but make sure you match up the pattern with each piece so it looks like one relatively seamless piece. If you’re not up for sewing (or, in my case, paying someone else to sew for you), you could also try making a headboard out of a panel door and create padded fabric inserts for the panels. I’ve seen this done a lot and the end result is usually pretty cool. In this example of a door headboard from Martha Stewart, the fabric panels would be inserted into the yellow portions of the door: http://bit.ly/aIJL7I. Good luck and be sure to let us know what you decide!

Thanks for posting this info! I’m trying to use a 54″ fabric that has a definite up and down pattern (i.e. it will look like it’s pointing sideways unless it’s done with the 54″ as the width). Doyou have any suggestions as to how to make this fabric work, or do you think I should just find another?

This is awesome :) I’ve been contemplating tackling this project but haven’t gotten the courage up, maybe now that I’ve seen how easy it is I’ll do it!

Looks beautiful by the way!

Looks good Regina Son! Here are a few concerns I have. 1. Are the materials used to create this headboard flame retardant? 2. Also I hope that thick foam will not provide a cozy place for bed bugs to live. Any who looks great, and don’t let the….never-mind you get my point.
