Since there is no headboard, does the bed slide away if you lean against the wall? Does the mattress slide off of the slats?

The bed does not slide away from the wallis you lean back, but it is easy to move for cleaning purposes. Also - the mattress is seated into the frame, so it does not move on the slats.

Yes. That's what I did. I leaned it against the wall and then used my bed frame to press it snug against the wall.

I use a mattress and box spring. Without both the gap between the headboard and mattresses might be to large.

No, it leans against the wall. It's well made (you assemble), but once it's put together it's very sturdy. It seems to be designed so that when you add weight it gets more firm.

No it doesn't stick out at all. It is actually about 5-6 inches short, so no overhang. You have the closed end side towards wall (where you can attach headboard if need be). I'm a very big guy and this is by far the strongest metal bedframe I have ever had. It is super simple to put together. Just click together. Make sure all are pushed down. The middle section is the main reason. I have a tempurpedic and have had 0 issues. I've recommend this type of frame to all. I personally have a queen, but I ordered the king for my GF's bed and it works like a gem. Sorry for the long response.

there are slats..which we currently have our mattress on..it's ok. If I wanted it perfect I would get a "bunky board" type board to put over slats. they sell them at bedding stores. There is wood supports in the middle.

I initially used it without a box spring and had a plywood board across the slats..but, after a few months I was over it and decided to get a box spring. Unless you have a very thick mattress there is a pretty big gap between the mattress and bottom of the headboard. I feel it's much better now.

It is very suitable with out a headboard. I've used it without a headboard since i bought it.

You need to attach the legs to the headboard. We also attached it to the wall (recommended).

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.

No, not at all. Mine is sitting on slats right now. This item is amazing. Comes in the box; a small amount of put-together and that's it.

There's nothing to keep the mattress from sliding off, it just sits on top of the wood. This hasn't been a problem for me until I fold it down from a sofa to a bed, the mattress slips down and I have to drag it back into place each time.

Hello, I put mine into a king bed frame without the slats. Consider a regular king because I always fall into the crack of the split. I regret buying the split but they're great mattresses!

Does anyone out there have a picture of a king size frame without the mattress? Would like to see the construction. Like, does it have a center rail to keep the slats from sagging? Is the main frame 2X4 construction or 1X4? And are the slats 1X4's?

The headboard has legs that attach to the frame of the bed (the material of the headboard, therefore, does not go all the way down). I suppose the headboard could rest against the wall with the bed pushed up against it to hold it up, but I think it would be a little wobbly. Hope that helps.

When the box spring and mattress are placed on the frame it leaves an approximately 2" lip on the sides of the mattress . I have not noticed any movement. It is a very solid frame.

No, it sits about midway across the bed under the mattress, we have never had an issue with it moving at all.
