The internet tells me that a king-sized mattress is 76", so it seems that the 104" width of my finished headboard would accommodate a king bed plus about 14" on either side. Apparently, a king is about 18" wider than a queen, so if you wanted it to have the same overhang as mine, you'd probably need to add in a couple more upholstered 1x8" boards. I hope this helps!

My 1/8s were cut to 52" (I think 55.5" was the finished height with the frame), and I cut my fabric 2" bigger all the way around (i.e. 4" wider and 4" taller). My fabric must have been a little wider (maybe 60") so I was able to just cut 11" strips off of it as it came. If you end up with boards taller than 50", you'll probably want to cut off a couple of pieces of fabric that are as long as your needed vertical length and then cut off your 11" strips from that. I hope that makes sense, and good luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05737973952621390871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705364976624138966.post-49728670764468882602014-08-05T22:05:14.818-05:002014-08-05T22:05:14.818-05:00Ok, hopefully this is my last question.

The fabric I have is 54inches vertically, and I know you said you got your 1/8's cut to 55.5inches but cutting the fabric 4inches wider all around. So I'm just curious how you cut yours.
