r/HomeDecorating on Reddit: Headboard for Adjustable Beds?
March 8, 2024 -

I bought an adjustable bed about a year ago and while I love it, I hate that there’s no headboard. It just looks awkward in my option.

Has anyone had experience with attaching a headboard to an adjustable bed or finding a work around? I’ve done some searching online but I’ve mostly found the farmhouse style headboards which aren’t for me.

Thanks in advance!

Attaching a headboard to a bed frame with no holes?
I would look for a different solution than buying a headboard just to keep your pillows on the bed. It's also going to block some of the window, which you might not like. Maybe get a bed side rail that's meant to keep people from falling out of bed. They are held in place by part of it going between the mattress and box spring. Nothing is permanently attached.

Converting full bed to queen w/wooden rails
Note that if someone tries to sell you metal straps for this, the first time you flop down in bed you will twist them into junk. In this use case, lumber will flex temporarily where steel will happily deform and stay that way. More on reddit.com

How to Attach a Headboard to an Adjustable Frame - Amerisleep
November 13, 2025 - The hole’s diameter determines what size bolt you need for a secure attachment. Naturally, if you purchase a headboard bracket, you’ll be able to decide which of these setups you prefer. Most likely, you’ll be attaching the headboard in your bedroom. The area around the bed should be clear, and you should raise the head of the adjustable bed.

Adjustable bed / would like a bookcase headboard suggetion
This IKEA BRIMNES headboard is 43" high and this Room and Board Munro headboard is 42" high so maybe that should be your height range. You could put two BILLY Bookcase, black-brown 31 1/2x11x41 3/4" bookcases together and put shelves at mattress level to avoid losing stuff into the space below. Of course those shelves wouldn't be available when the bed wasn't flat...and I don't know how this would look.
