Are a headboard and footboard required for the product to function properly? Will it still stand up without them?

At first, I removed the headboard from the bed frame because Hello Kitty's head looked awkward leaning against it. There isn't enough stuffing to keep the head standing upright, so I bought extra stuffing for it. A foot board would probably be in the way of the feet considering their placement in the design. It is cute once you get it positioned correctly over the mattress and box spring. However, I ended up taking the mattress and box spring off the bed frame & put them right on the floor because the arms and legs looked saggy hanging off the bed. I'm not 100% satisfied with how it turned out but my kid loves it and that was all that mattered! I hope this helps!

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.

The footboard is necessary. We (2, 25 year olds) use the bed nightly with no problems.

Yes, you need a box spring. It only comes as headboard, footboard, and the frame. It's very nice. We're extremely happy with it.

If you are adapting both a headboard and footboard then two sets are needed. If only the headboard then only one set.

You can attach a headboard as-is. To attach a footboard, you would also need to purchase "footboard extension brackets."

It doesn't have a frame for the bed , your bed frame has to have the head board and foot board holes

The headboard doesn't come with a footboard that I know of. Mine was headboard only.

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.

Yes, this platform comes with everything you need to attach a headboard and footboard. You can use a box spring if you'd like, but the platform is meant to replace a boxspring while providing the proper support as to not damage the mattress.

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

Actually this is also a footboard. The assembly instructions say to make it a footboard DO NOT INSTALL to extension legs to raise the unit to headboard height. There are mounting holes in the frame to attach the unit to the foot of the bed. Your existing bed frame MUST have the footboard mounting plates. Not all frames have them.

Yes, you could use it without the footboard, but you would need a different bed frame. The one that was delivered has very pronounced ends which would not be recommended without the footboard. Bobby Garrick

No and u need the entire (extwnded) bed frame so that the headboard can be attached. Had to buy a new frame as I had the plain queen frame.

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!

No. The side rails hook into the. headboard and footboard. You could change it up a bit by attaching it to a feed frame, but you wouldn't have the side rails.

It comes with a kit to attach head and foot board. I have not but it should work. I initially used my queen frame without a box spring; but I prefer it with. Without the boxspring the mattress slid around on the frame.
