What are y’all’s opinions?
I like slatted for the idea of a French cleat system where I can put some shelves or lamps up without taking up floor space. But cloth is also nice for the comfort and it seems more ‘bed space’ appropriate.
Slatted is easier to clean
I had bedbugs. God knows where they could burrow in cloth. Also please treat yourself to a bedbug proof mattress cover.
Do you sit and lounge in bed very often? If you do then I’d vote cloth.
Also is your room small enough that you really need the added space of the clear system? It is a really cool concept, i just don’t know how practical it would be.
That’s fair. It isn’t a small room, for sure. I just like to be able to have clean floors.
And I suppose I really don’t lounge in bed often. Hmmm good point
I lean towards cloth if it’s a big room. You could have lamps and stuff on a end table. I am a bed lounger though, so that might be biasing me towards cloth lol.
I also tend to put my legs and feet on the walls, so I would be worried about knocking down stuff on the slatted headboard. Though I did see in another comment that you have cats so the slatted headboard could be a cool way of building them a little cat tree/space to lounge
Do you have cats?
I do. And they’re pretty good at not clawing stuff up, so I’m not too worried
Another thing to consider is the accumulation of cat hair on the cloth headboard. If you have mild cat allergies you may find you start waking up feeling stuffy.
Fair enough
I have an all metal fram with soopy leaf type of stylizing sorta like a metal fence. whats really nice is if you are injured or such it almost acts like handicap bars. Its like you can grab all over the place to pull yourself up or brace yourself.
