Headboards, Headboards, Headboards? Recommendations?

We have three beds; 1 king and 2 queens without headboards. Have been looking @Hayneedle. What headboard/s do you have and recommendations? We have been married 20+ years and have been headboardless, I am ashamed to say...

I like upholstered headboards. I like to sit up in bed to read or watch Tv, and it is very comfortable. DH and I have a custom upholstered headboard that we got from Calico Corners. It is almost 10 years old and still in great shape, and was much more reasonably priced than I would have expected.

On my kids beds I have the pottery barn upholstered headboards that you can use with slipcovers. In DD's room I have one of the PBS slipcovers, in DS's room I have a slipcover I sewed myself.

Ballard Designs also has a good selection of both fully upholstered and slipcovered headboards.
