Can this be used reliably on a bed without a headboard and/or wall to rest up against? Or will is sink back?

I had pillows behind the pillow chair and that worked very well. Not sure how it would be without some type of back support. I hope this helps.

Purchased it for my daughter in college. It did not come with a headboard, or at least we did not order one. So one could have no headboard or as you suggest, add your own. You may not be able to attach is but you can certainly, with the weight of the bed, keep it preasured between the bed and the wall.

With the up and down motion of this bed ,personally I wouldn't think that type.of headboard would work

I don't see why not. We use it with a memory foam mattress. It also comes with a covering. We sit ours on a solid 9 point metal frame. Then cover it with a bed skirt. Our box frame is king size, so carrying into our bedroom unassembled was a plus. It is pretty solid and quiet. I used extra screws to anchor all the cross boards in place to make it as solid as possible. They only give you a minimal amount of screws from the factory. Easy fix

Hi, the bed is very flexible without a box spring. as soon as i sit on the edge of it, it sinks with my weight . i just tried to prop and bend the top, and was not succesful. It is just so thick

The headboard would need to be freestanding or mounted on the wall. I would not advise attaching a headboard to the frame.

I have not tried it on a bed , but i would think as long as you don't put it on the edge of the bed it should be fine.

I have not had any problems but the weight of the headboard is substantial. Gravity keeps it securely in place. If the object being mounted is extremely light weight there might be risk but I have never experienced it. I find it works out very well for my needs.

needs a wall. inless you like mount it to the bedframe with bolts and brackets. but i wouldnt trust it to still stay up.

I think you are correct - to be honest - we knew that when we ordered and were OK without a headboard. The bed has been fine and has lived up to our expectations. Good luck

Derrek H is correct. There are no springs in the mattress, so it will not sink at all. You can vary the "give" of the bed by choosing a bed frame/base. If you put it on the ground or a solid base it's going to have very little flex. Use a wood slat frame to get some flexibility.

Yes. The part that plugs into the wall lays flat. So no worries about the bed.

Sounds like you'd use nothing - if so, it will wibble a lot, not be stable. It does need to be anchored so it doesn't move back/forth

Not really, but I bought padded headboards and just propped them against the wall behind the frame. The frame is so tall that there's no problem with stability.

I used a box spring for this. If you choose not to use a box spring, you would need to get something to support the mattress. Also, in my opinion, the headboard/footboard would look too high because the mattress would be so low. Hope this helps!

We attached ours to the bed frame. I don't think it will stand up on its own without securing it to the wall.

Only if you put it at the top of the bed only. You would need to really stretch it and loose "the look" if you tried to do it sideways.
