Marcelina Furniture Studio

Custom Beds & Upholstered Headboards

Your bed sets the tone for the whole room. We build custom beds and upholstered headboards to your mattress dimensions, in the height, shape and fabric that make your bedroom feel finished, not furnished from a catalogue.

Made to your specification

Size & heightBuilt to your exact mattress size, with a headboard height scaled to your ceiling and wall.
UpholsteryVelvet, bouclé, linen-look performance fabrics or leather, in your colour.
DetailingChannel, button or plain tufting; piping, wings or a clean modern silhouette.
Storage & frameOptional under-bed storage, solid-wood frames and matching bedside tables.

Built for Panama's climate

Bedrooms in the tropics need fabrics that resist humidity and hold colour. We upholster in performance and treated fabrics that stay fresh, and build frames from kiln-dried timber that won’t creak or warp in Panama’s damp.

Want the whole room to match? We commission beds, bedside tables, benches and wardrobes as one cohesive set.

Frequently asked questions

What clients ask most about custom beds and headboards.

How much does a custom bed or headboard cost?

The median is $4,680, with most between $3,900 and $5,200, depending on size, upholstery and whether it includes a base or the headboard alone.

Do you build non-standard mattress sizes?

Yes. We build to any mattress dimension, including sizes that are hard to find in Panama, and we scale headboard height to your ceiling and room proportions.

Can I order only the headboard?

Of course. Many clients keep their existing base and mattress and commission just the upholstered headboard, wall-mounted or fixed to the existing base.

Which upholstery suits a humid climate?

Performance fabrics, linen blends and full-grain leather all behave well. We avoid fillings that hold moisture and specify appropriate foam density so the back does not deform.

Is the mattress included?

No. We build the bed, base and headboard; you choose the mattress, and we design the base around the exact mattress height you intend to use.

How long does it take?

Ten to sixteen weeks plus delivery, with installation included in Panama City and up to 40 km.
