I have this frame: Sleep Master Platform Metal Bed Frame/Mattress FoundationDo I need to purchase additional parts to attach the headboard?

If I remember correctly, all of the parts (to connect the headboard to the frame) come with the headboard. Easy installation!

Yes, it only comes with the headboard. Be sure to buy a "new" metal frame because it will not fit the old fashioned bed frames. I was able to put it together by myself very easily. This is a phenomenal deal and looks awesome. I couldn't believe how expensive headboards cost in stores and the quality of this headboard is really quite nice!

You can purchase brackets that attach to the frame and allow a headboard and/or footboard to be bolted on, but they don't come with the bed itself, you have to purchase them separately. Also, because of how the brackets are attached (like on mine), expect the headboard to be a little wobbly.

I use it as my box spring for a memory foam mattress so I had nothing to attach to it. It sits higher then a traditional frame and there isn't anywhere to attach a headboard. It is a very good frame though.

I have the headboard in king but it's just that, a headboard. You still need to have a metal frame to attach it to, so I would say yes you need a box spring for the frame.

Yes, you need the box spring (bed) and the actual frame.... The headboard and footboard need the frame to connect to the bed.

For the headboard itself, it comes with the required hardware to assemble it. To attach it to your bed, you will need 4 bolts, nuts and washers; they are not provided.

The bed I received had all of the required hardware included. If yours was missing pieces, you could contact the company for replacement parts or visit your local hardware store with your instructions to get what you need.

No metal support in the middle, but I don't think that you need to buy one. The weight of the bed should really be resting on the legs of the bed frame that the headboard is attached to....not resting on the legs of the head board.

Generally when you buy a mattress and box spring it comes with a metal frame on caster wheels. On one end of that frame there are little metal 'tabs' with holes in them, designed to attach a headboard to.

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.

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.

What are the requirements to attach the frame to a headboard - does it matter if it's metal or wood?

Frame should have brackets and hardware needed; screws and nuts. Ours went together in 10 minutes! great headboard...no rattles or squeaks!

No, there is no frame included. The headboard has holes drilled in the legs to attach an existing frame.

There is no bed frame with this headboard you must provide your own. Yes, you will need a box spring.
