What is the top of the bed frame called?

The top of a bed frame is called the headboard — the vertical panel that sits at the head of the bed, behind where you rest your head and shoulders when sleeping.

The headboard is the most visible structural element of a bed frame, and it does more than define the sleeping direction. On platform bed frames like Coucheta's rattan models, the headboard also functions as a built-in shelf for phones, chargers, and small items — a design feature built directly into the frame rather than added as an accessory. Headboard materials range from upholstered fabric and metal to handcrafted natural rattan woven over an MDF panel, each producing a distinct visual weight and texture in the room.

• The headboard is the vertical panel at the top (head) of a bed frame, opposite the footboard.
• Coucheta's rattan headboard is handcrafted natural rattan woven over an MDF structural panel — not solid wood.
• The Coucheta headboard shelf is built into the headboard channel and supports small items like phones and chargers.
• Coucheta's headboard also houses a built-in RGB LED strip with 6,000 color combinations and a music-sync mode.
• The corresponding panel at the foot of the bed frame is called the footboard.
