I am looking for a headboard that attaches to the wall or is free-standing, rather than attaching to the bedframe. Will this headboard work?

Attaching to a bed frame is optional. It will work freestanding. Because of the way the slipcover goes on after assembly (slips on from the top) you might need to be creative in affixing it to a wall but it is possible.

I don't think this will work for what you are looking for. It is mostly wrapped foam construction. It would probably fall over if you left it freestanding. The only way you could mount it to the wall would cut into the cover. It would be easier to retrofit bed rail brackets on your frame.

You can certainly attach the headboard to the wall using a portion of the leg that is out of sight. I wouldn't recommend leaving it freestanding unless your bedframe can hold it securely against the wall. Frankly, if I'd only wanted a wall-mounted headboard, I'd have made it myself using plywood, batting and fabric. It's an easy task.

Mine is definitely attached to the bed. Not sure if you can get creative and somehow mount it to the wall. It's a great looking headboard though!

Yes. It will work. Actually have mine leaving against the wall at the moment.

We attached ours to the bed frame, but it could be attached to wall or freestanding I suppose.

This attaches to bed frame and therefore is not suitable if you want something freestanding or to attach to wall

This is totally different part of the headboard or footboard. So you can have any options of either headboard. I bought the bed frame with both headboard and footboard and it works great.

Mine doesn't. My best advice is don't place the headboard directly against a wall, and make sure the screws are tight AND you should be just fine.

Yes it comes with screws and attachment pieces to attach a headboard but it comes with a fold out spring style frame. You probably have to buy the headboard from the beds manufacturer website.

same here; I bought only the headboard. My old bed frame had the vertical bracket only on the head of the frame to attach it.

No it doesn't. I don't believe you could attach a headboard to it. I'd suggest fixing the headboard to the wall.

Yes! It actually attaches to the frame and so does the headboard. Works great.

No, actually the reverse is true. The problem we encountered was that we already had a bedframe with a headboard that will not accommodate the bedding set. We ended up giving it my in-laws to use on the guest bed for the kids when they come over because all they have is an inflatable twin mattress, no headboard, butted up against the wall and that works out just fine. Hope that helps.

If you want to add a head board you will need special attachments to do so. Amazon sells these attachments. Otherwise, if you already have a complete bed frame this just slips inside of it. I hope this information was helpful to you.

This bed frame is very solid without a headboard but I intend on crafting one which, when attached, would strengthen it even further. The headboard could be attached to the bed frame, the wall or be free standing with the bed snuggled up against it.

It has to be attached to the frame, otherwise if you dont have the frame, you have to lean the frame on the wall for decoration purposes only. It still looks nice but its not stable. I dont know where you live, but I got my frame for $50 from RoomsToGo and thought it was a good deal because most stores were more expensive than that. Or you can find a used one on Craigslist. I hope that helps.

Head board connect to existing bed frame or one you might purchase. Headboard was just that, only a head board.

This is not a bed frame. It's just a mattress support that a mattress will sit on. There isn't really a way to attach anything to it. You would need to get a bed frame separately if you want a headboard.

Yes. It is only a headboard. You can attach it to a bed you already have or a bed frame.

I have mine attached to a full-size bed. It's maybe 2-3 inches wider than the full-size frame on both sides. I just centered it behind the frame and it looks fine. Note that the headboard is made to fasten to a conventional bed frame. Since I bought a platform frame (to avoid the need to buy a box spring), the frame did not fasten the way a normal one would. My husband bolted a board across the bottom of the headboard and bolted the platform to that.

I never considered a headboard, but the base is very stable. Personally I would mount a wooden headboard on the wall and push the bed in front of it. If you want to attach a headboard to the frame, you would have to have some sort of collars to attach it to the pipe frame. If the headboard is heavy relative to the frame, I would suggest a footboard as well to balance the weight. A relatively light headboard would be fine, but I would consider the design of the attachments carefully, with regard to a stable and attractive result.

It doesn't have any specific structure for a headboard. I like the bed because it is very simple hard wood. The head and foot are exactly the same. If you wanted to drill into the frame, the wood is of very good quality and it would probably be fine. If it was me, I would anchor the headboard to the wall behind the bed to avoid the issue. I definitely recommend the bed, it is very well made.
