Lightweight, easy headboard: Cut a piece of cushion foam to size, and made a slipcover for it.
So, another renter friendly home decor sewing project. I bought a piece of cushion / upholstery foam that was 70" X 24" X 2.5" thick, and cut with a basic knife to the width of my bed (60") I then made a simple boxed slipcover, and added some tabs to the cover so I could hang the "headboard" from a curtain rod held up with some command hooks (the cushion/headboard sort of also rests a little bit on my mattress, with means less weight on the rod and command hooks, but it is really not that heavy so I think the rod could have fully suspended it if needed). Anyway, I'm really happy with how it turned out! The foam is dense enough yet soft enough to provide good support for stuff like reading in bed, and if I do ever move, it will be so much lighter and easier to pack. More on reddit.com

Please help me find the name for this style of hanging pillow thing for a headboard. I've reverse image searched, which just sends you down a Pinterest black hole. "Hanging headboard pillow" doesn't work either.

Measure out evenly where you would like them to go, depending on how many you want. I did two rows of 4, and I placed them a bit closer to the top than the bottom (I find when the headboard sits on the bed the pillows etc cover the bottom of the headboard so the buttons are more visible placed a bit higher).

September 14, 2021 - I wonder if you might try a couple of RTW pillows of various types and see if there's one that works for you, then attempt to replicate that. (So, perhaps a less-squishy bed pillow, or a large throw pillow.) My first thought for construction would be to make it like a chair cushion, with sturdy, Velcro straps that hook around your headboard.
