We know dorm life because we've lived it. University Headboards started with one problem that led to one mission: to make your space feel like home.
His freshman year at App State, Skyler's dorm bed did its job and nothing else. Pillows fell to the floor by morning; a bare wall remained behind his head; and his room felt the bareness of a jail cell. Seeking a solution, Skyler went to work. He started building headboards in his garage to fix his problem, then he built some for a few friends, and then somehow word spread faster than anyone expected. He did not expect it to go this far: to become the leader in dormitory headboard commerce and design. He just kept building and trusted God with the rest. Now, University Headboards ships to 100+ colleges and universities across the country. He still can't believe that he's gotten to where he is, but he's excited to continue growing, expanding his business into new areas.
Every student deserves a space that feels like home, even when home is a 12ร10 dorm room.Founder - Skyler Perguidi
Everything we make is designed right here in Boone, NC, and built with the mountain mindset of making things that last. We're not a big brand. We're students who care about quality and community.
Skyler is a student, entrepreneur, and someone who genuinely believes that when you put in the work and trust God, things have a way of working out. He built University Headboards out of a garage because of his own dorm struggles, and it grew way beyond anything he could ever have imagined. He's grateful every day to do his work and share his innovation with others.
