Icare Karlstead Headboard and Footboard

The Karlstead is the tallest and most substantial board Icare makes: horizontal upholstered panels with a blind finish, at 33 in for the headboard against 28 in for the other two styles.

Why the boards matter

An adjustable bed with no headboard reads as hospital equipment. Add a board in a finish that matches the room and it reads as a bed. That single change is often what makes someone comfortable having it in the house. The extra height on the Karlstead also does real work: it keeps pillows from sliding off the head end and keeps the user from sliding off during Trendelenburg positioning.

Choose headboard, footboard, or both

They are sold separately, so you can put a headboard on and leave the foot open, which many people prefer for transfers.

Six finishes to match your bed

Onyx, Smoke, Stone and Silver in fabric; Ebony and Dove in wipeable vinyl. The same finish range as the Icare bed frames.

Before you order

Adding a headboard or footboard increases the overall bed length by roughly 1 to 2 in each. If the bed is going into a tight alcove, measure first, and note the Karlstead is the tallest of the three.

Also available

The Standard board is a plain panel if you want the bed to recede, and the Lyon has clean vertical panels. Both are 28 in at the head.

Payment: CareCredit, Mobility Trust, and HSA/FSA accepted.
