our home is your sanctuary, and the bedroom and lounge areas are the spaces where you relax, unwind, and recharge. Choosing the right furniture—not just functional but stylish—can make all the difference. At Mana Furnitures, we offer a curated selection of headboards, bed bases + mattresses, and lounge furniture to match your aesthetic and comfort needs.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to choose the right combinations, mistakes to avoid, styling tips, and answers to common questions.

Section 1: Why the Right Headboard Matters

• A headboard is more than decoration — it frames your bed, provides back support, and anchors the look of your bedroom.
• Mana’s headboard collection includes a wide variety: upholstered, velvet, fabric, wood styles.
• Price range: headboards start from as low as ~NZD 149 up to ~NZD 669.
• Choosing by height, width, and material is key for both comfort and coordination with your base and mattress.

Tips:

• For a minimalist or modern look, go with slim-profile upholstered headboards.
• For statement or traditional styles, try tall or carved wood headboards.
• Ensure the headboard height doesn’t feel overwhelming in smaller bedrooms.

Section 2: Base + Mattress — The Foundation of Comfort

• Buying a base with mattress as a set often provides better compatibility and value.
• Mana offers many base + mattress combinations (14 currently listed) with a top price around NZD 1,899.
• Examples: “Base With Pocket Spring Mattress” on sale, “Posture Elite” series, “SleepMax” options.

• You’ll want to consider firmness, spring type (pocket springs, foam, etc.), thickness, and support.

Key factors to consider:

• Size matching: the base, mattress, and headboard must all align in size (e.g. queen, king).
• Firmness preference: side sleepers may prefer medium or plush, while back or stomach sleepers often prefer medium-firm to firm.
• Support & durability: good base and mattress systems should last years without sagging.
• Warranty & return policies: always check what the supplier offers.

Section 3: Lounge Furniture — Complete the Look

• While Mana’s primary categories here are headboards and beds, they also offer lounge and living room furniture (sofas, recliners, etc.) as part of their broader catalog.
• A cohesive style between lounge and bedroom zones helps maintain a flow throughout your home.

Styling Tips:

• Use complementary fabrics or wood tones between your bedroom and lounge.
• Keep scale in mind — a large bulky sofa may overpower a compact room.
• Add texture via cushions, throws, and rugs to soften hard lines.

Section 4: How to Combine Headboard, Base & Mattress (and Lounge)

1. Begin with your mattress choice — decide on firmness, type, and size.
2. Select a compatible base — make sure the base supports the mattress properly (e.g. slats, box spring, platform).
3. Pick the headboard — choose one that fits with both the base and your design aesthetic.
4. Harmonize the lounge area — coordinate materials, colors, and textures so your whole home feels cohesive.

FAQ

Q1: Can I mix and match headboard and base/mattress from different brands?
Yes — as long as the dimensions align (e.g. both are queen-size) and the headboard mounting fits the base. But buying a set designed to work together often ensures better compatibility.

Q2: How high should my headboard be relative to the mattress?
A safe guideline: the headboard should extend at least 30 cm (12 inches) above the mattress. But aesthetic and ceiling height matter too — don’t let it feel too cramped.

Q3: Which mattress firmness is best?
That depends on your sleep position and body weight.

• Side sleepers usually prefer medium to relieve pressure on shoulders/hips.
• Back sleepers may favor medium-firm.
• Heavy sleepers often benefit from firm to maintain spinal alignment.

Q4: How often should I replace my mattress & base?
Generally, every 7–10 years. But if you notice sagging, discomfort, or visible wear earlier, it may be time to upgrade.

Q5: Do headboards come with mounting hardware?
Many do. But you should confirm with the retailer (e.g. Mana) whether the headboard includes brackets or whether separate mounts are needed.

Q6: What about warranty and returns?
Check your specific product’s warranty (often 5 to 10 years on mattress) and the seller’s return policy. At Mana Furnitures, many products are on sale and quantities are limited — so verify the return/guarantee terms.

Q7: Can I order a lounge suite to match the bedroom set?
Yes — if your retailer carries both bedroom and living collections (as Mana does). You can request matching fabrics, tones, and styles to maintain harmony across rooms.
