Answer 2

We made one. Not wanting to fasten it permanently to the wall (but we could have), we mounted 2-inch thick polyurethane to a cut down four foot by eight foot pegboard. Then covered it with appropriately colored fabric. The fabric wrapped around the pegboard and was stapled from the back.

With your idea, you could attach the foam with double-faced transparent tape, or paste.

Answer 3

check these out b4 you make one--there should be more if you click on the see all matches link. http://www.target.com/gp/search.html/601-7873568-7392156?field-keywords=upholstered+headboard&url=index%3Dtarget&ref=sr_bx_1_1

it will prob cost at least $100 to make one, unless you already have the wood, fabric and batting--the cotton-like stuff ; )
