Upholstered Headboards/ Vacuum Cleaner Repair

1. I'm considering replacing my wooden headboard with an upholstered headboard. My only concern is that fabric upholstered headboards tend to accumulate alot of dust. Someone suggested that I consider a leather upholstered headboard. Any thoughts on upholstered headboards and, in particular, the difference between using fabric and leather? 2. I bought a Kenmore vacuum cleaner from Sears. It was highly rated in Consumer Reports. However, in order to get it repaired, I have to travel to the Sears service center in a part of Queens which is not easily accessible by public transportation/taxi. Can anyone recommend a vacuum cleaner repair/appliance repair store in Manhattan? Thanks in advance for all replies.
