: and I would avoid "bedhead" for a US audience, because "bedhead" is an expression used for how your hair looks in the morning!

bedheads
It's as simple as that. The bedhead is simply the "head end" of the bed.

headboard
In the USA, bedhead is what your hair looks like just after you rise in the morning after a hard night partying.
The headboard is that board at the head of the bed.
However, I might even look into bedstead which is the whole frame holding the bed. If that is what is meant, maybe you need to change the to the "four corners of the bedstead."
Good luck.
