How far apart are the holes to attach to the headboard/footboard? My bed's holes seem to be odd-sized.

We had to purchase this frame to fit a canopy bed frame.The holes matched up great for this frame........

That would depend on the width and depth of the space between the headboard & footboard, and from side to side. Get those measurements and compare them to the measurements provided in the product description. If you have an existing frame with rails, you may want to consider adding extra slats between the rails to support a foam mattress (if that's your intent) which would eliminate the need for the metal platform.

The distance from the bed frame to the bottom of the headboard is 18". My mattress is 14" and my box spring is 9" so there is no gap at all, but if yours is only 8" but with a standard size box spring you would have a gap of 1".

No. There's no where to drill holes either because of where the drawers sit... My headboard has legs so i just put it behind the frame and lowered the headboard so that it sits on top of the frame... The top of the frame is rounded though so it doesnt sit flush with it but the legs keep it in place. Hope this helps.

There are holes in the frame that we were able to put a bolt through. Didn't match up with the existing holes in the headboard but a quick fix with a drill.

I have a full-size Compack bed frame. The place to attach the headboard is at the head-end of the frame. Depending on where the attachments are to be within the headboard would determine whether it would fit. The place for the screws is inset from the side edge of the frame. I imagine these are more or less standard.

I was going to suggest doing the same thing as Candyce mentioned (+1), i.e. they have a specific side, you can turn the bed around and "attach" the headboard either way.I didn't attach the headboard. I put felt pads to avoid scratching the wall, but the headboard, which can standup by itself, is squeezed between the wall and the bed frame.

We attached a headboard, but not a footboard. My husband said you could do it. He also said that you may have to buy adapter plates to allow the pieces to fit, which we did. We had to buy these separately. Hope this helps.

These can probably be used to solve the problem. It would take two sets, one for the headboard and one for the footboard, but they should bolt to the wooden rails, then hook to the ends. Might make the overall assembly slightly longer than usual, but not significantly so.

I see no reason why this would not work as these pieces are only required to match up with the position of the holes on the bed frame and headboard which are exactly the same size universally, twin to king. The pieces only fit the ends of the frame not the length of the frame. Incidentally, I have a spare set of these.if you'd like them. Message me here on Amazon or contact me via email at ASpriggs80@gmail.com. I'm happy to drop them in a bubble mailer and send them to you.

There are 3 holes on each side of my king headboard. One is 6inch, one is 81/4 inch and one is 91/2 inches from the bottom of the headboard post. I would assume you would be able to attach the headboard to the platform at one of those points. I also think you could lean it against the wall with the platform base securing it.

Assuming you drilled your own holes into headboard / footboard, you should have measured width to a standard mattress size. You may need to reattach to head/footboards farther inboard to fit mattress. Only other possibility is you have wrong mattress size (twin vs full?)?

The mattress sticks put a few inches past the frame. It's no problem unless you wanted to add a footboard. The problem with this frame is that it comes without nuts to hold the bed together and the bolts are fixed in place, so you have to try a couple of sizes to get the right fit and can only use one of the two bolts in each section. I would not but this frame based on that information.

We were able to attach our headboard but not our footboard to this frame. I'm not saying its impossible bc we didn't really try to once we figured out it would nt work we decided to leave off the footboardto save space.

The way I have mine set up, there is a 9" gap at the head and a 9" gap at the foot. If I remember correctly, when I was setting it up, I may have been able to make it so that there was almost no gap at the head...maybe even at the foot...or a choice of one or the other...but I realized that when I turned my mom on her side to change her, her face would be right up against the rail and I would risk injuring her if I wasn't careful. There is a designated place on the bed frame to place the piece that the rail attaches to but I believe you can place it in other places, but it wouldn't be in the little cut out notch that is in the designated place. That cut out notch is very small. Whether the piece would slip over time I don't know.

We have a new mattress! That is not the issue! There should be side and foot boards like shown in the photos! The headboard is wobbly without them!

There is approximately 24 inches from the bottom rail to the floor. However, the holes where the mattress frame attaches to the headboard are drilled at about 6-7 inches from the floor on the uprights of the headboard. It appears you could cut about 4 inches off the legs but your mattress would literally be resting on the floor.
