Historically, headboards served to isolate sleepers from drafts and cold in less insulated buildings, and thus were made of wood, which is less thermally conductive than stone or brick. Constructed to create space from the wall (via thicker end pillars), they allowed falling colder air to sink to the floor rather than onto the bed. [1]
The Great Bed of Ware is an extremely large oak four poster bed, carved with marquetry, that was originally housed in the White Hart Inn in Ware, England.Built by Hertfordshire carpenter Jonas Fosbrooke about 1590, the bed measures 3.38m long and 3.26m wide (ten by eleven feet) [2] and can "reputedly... accommodate at least four couples".

The bed measures 9 feet (2.7 m) in height, 5 feet (1.5 m) in width and 6 feet (1.8 m) in length. [13] It is a four-poster bed with each of the posts topped with a carved lion (one of which has lost his tail) each of which holds a shield emblazoned with a rose.
