Has anyone attempted to attach a headboard? I'm considering making my own and upholstering it...

Attaching a headboard would just be a matter of drilling a couple holes. Should be easy to do.

I suppose you could use a longer bolt to attach a headboard where the corner brace is attached. We use a freestanding headboard with ours.

Hello SKW, I am sorry but it is not designed to be assembled without the headboard maybe take a look at the Discovery World Furniture Rake Beds or the Bookcase Day Beds. Thanks, Drew

Honestly, my did but the two bolts that are at each end of the bed one being on the head board and the other a the footer of the bed; were both vertical when they should of been horizontal in order to install the middle bar that holds the entire bed. So I had to chase 2k furniture to either send me another bed and/or do the installation... After several days of going back and forth and rescheduling appoints due to their availability; they came and instead of bringing me a new bed they drilled the bolts the way they should have been... Who is the furniture provider for you purchase?

Sorry it took me a while to answer. We used the openings on the corners to screw the frame to the headboard. you can drill holes if you have to. Whatever works for you. Good luck.

The holes won't line up. You should use some 1x3 wood pieces and drill holes to line up with frame bracket and headboard holes.

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.

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.

This bed is flimsy enough that attaching a headboard without a great deal of hardware is impossible. To solve the problem of the headboard, I made a headboard and attached it to the wall (like a painting, a heavy painting) just in the proper location to mimic the placement of the headboard. That way the attachment of the headboard is not integral to the bed but looks great. I found that merely moving the bed could potentially cause breaks to the bed so attaching anything to the bed was too problematic.

I am looking for one that can accommodate my bed. What did you wind up going with for your 2" headboard?

I think the description of the item says there was no way to attach a headboard. I certainly did not see anything on this most basic of frames. I got around this by making an upholstered headboard which I attached to a wall with a "hangman" type hanger that can be found in your big box stores. My opinion is that the frame is too thin to be able to attach the typical headboard.

Can you adjust the headboard to make it not so high? I'm looking for a shorter headboard because The bed is in front of a window and I don't want to block it too much. Just want the headboard to show a little above the propped pillows. Thanks!!

Not sure...you probably have to adapt the frame (add something to it) -- maybe buy an old antique frame on Craigslist and take the piece from it that headboards attach to? There are often frames like that for about $50 or so...just a thought. Good luck with your project!!!!

Yes, just slide out extra width probably 1 1/2 in per side and slide screw in. I used screws with wing nuts so I could tighten easily when they became loose. Headboard may wiggle slightly.

There is another frame or an adapter kit/brackets you can purchase that will allow you to attach a traditional headboard to it.

If you are a do it yourself or I would suggest getting a cardboard tube (almost as ward as wood) from a fabric store that upholstery fabric is rolled on. Cut it the heights you need and glue in a wooden plywood circle in which s bolt/nut has been inserted. Glue on rope and viola!
