I am looking for a headboard that attaches to the wall or is free-standing, rather than attaching to the bedframe. Will this headboard work?

Attaching to a bed frame is optional. It will work freestanding. Because of the way the slipcover goes on after assembly (slips on from the top) you might need to be creative in affixing it to a wall but it is possible.

I don't think this will work for what you are looking for. It is mostly wrapped foam construction. It would probably fall over if you left it freestanding. The only way you could mount it to the wall would cut into the cover. It would be easier to retrofit bed rail brackets on your frame.

You can certainly attach the headboard to the wall using a portion of the leg that is out of sight. I wouldn't recommend leaving it freestanding unless your bedframe can hold it securely against the wall. Frankly, if I'd only wanted a wall-mounted headboard, I'd have made it myself using plywood, batting and fabric. It's an easy task.

Mine is definitely attached to the bed. Not sure if you can get creative and somehow mount it to the wall. It's a great looking headboard though!

Yes. It will work. Actually have mine leaving against the wall at the moment.

We attached ours to the bed frame, but it could be attached to wall or freestanding I suppose.

This attaches to bed frame and therefore is not suitable if you want something freestanding or to attach to wall

Yes, a headboard can be attached, although I was lazy and just propped ours against the wall.The frame has a pair of vertical rectangular metal plates at the two corners at the head of the bed. The plates have several horizontal slits suitable for putting screws through to attach a headboard.

same here; I bought only the headboard. My old bed frame had the vertical bracket only on the head of the frame to attach it.

We did attach a headboard to it. My daughter made one from particle board wrapped in fabric and my husband figured out a way to attach it with our own screws etc.

It does attach to a standard metal bed frame. I have the headboard near the wall I wouldn't put all my weight on it but it is sturdy. I think it's a good headboard for the money. The hardware was included not always the case.

I purchased this headboard for my queen size bed. We have a regular metal frame with a boxspring and pillowtop mattress and it looks fine. The only problem we have with the headboard is that since it is mounted to our metal frame, there is a lot of movement if the bed is not up against the wall. We have the bed in front of our window which is fine--I just cannot sit up in my bed, with a pillow behind my back and read a book!

Yes, but you'll have to buy the headboard attachment kit. I didn't want a headboard or footboard, so I opted not to buy either of the hardware kits. I've got the frame only. Good luck and best wishes.

Yes it comes with screws and attachment pieces to attach a headboard but it comes with a fold out spring style frame. You probably have to buy the headboard from the beds manufacturer website.

The box spring has an attachment at bottom (head side) for you to put a headboard on. Doesn't have to be the headboard in pic. Looks like you can attach any headboard! Good luck!

Yes! This piece easily attached my solid wood queen Hooker Sanctuary Headboard to the wall. One side of the cleat is screwed in to the headboard and the other side attaches to the wall. Great product and I'd recommend it with 5 stars!

we did not install the headboard directly to the frame of the bed but instead we attached it permanently to the wall behind the bed. on seeing the results, one would never know that it wasn't attached to the bed. if this method is used, it is a good idea to use wood spacers between the wall and the frame, so as not to allow the frame to hug tight against the wall. if there are not wall studs to directly screw into, you can obtain screws with wall locking devises from a hardware store that will attach the frame securely to the wall.

Yes! It actually attaches to the frame and so does the headboard. Works great.

I have a standard metal bed frame and this headboard was attached with screws. It comes with wood posts.

Yes. It is only a headboard. You can attach it to a bed you already have or a bed frame.

I love this headboard, but I use it with a boxspring and mattress, and no frame. My boxspring is directly on the floor. It works perfect for my use. If you have a frame, boxspring and mattress, there is a chance that this would be too high.

That depends on the kind of frame. Mine only had one end that I could attach to, so I flipped it around, attached the bottom end, and then pushed the bed against the wall the hold the head board. Not the greatest, butnitnworks just fine and I have not had any problems with it.

I used it with my existing head board and had no problem attaching it. It's a beautiful headboard and well worth the price.
