I need something that will sit up straight on a bed that does not have a headboard or a wall to lean against. Will this hold me or sink backward?

I put a neck pillow behind my head, I had a friend over for a few days and let her use it where there is no headboard, and she put a pillow behind her head, she loved it and she has a lot of pain. I really love this , if you get it I hope you will also. Martha Mikesell

I had the same requirements and this does a good job. Been using this for a while now without any complaints. I would highly recommend!

Have done a test run and it will definitely sink backward. I have a headboard and wall behind mine and it's fine. Perhaps a more expensive model may offer more - good luck.

its not as firm as it says we had to go out and buy another one , it needs more padding to hold a person up

I do not believe this is rigid enough to stand alone, it's basically a pillow after all.

This is not a bed frame. It's just a mattress support that a mattress will sit on. There isn't really a way to attach anything to it. You would need to get a bed frame separately if you want a headboard.

This is not a frame, but a replacement for a box spring. As such it should sit on the frame, you would not want to attached a headboard to it.

It doesn't have any specific structure for a headboard. I like the bed because it is very simple hard wood. The head and foot are exactly the same. If you wanted to drill into the frame, the wood is of very good quality and it would probably be fine. If it was me, I would anchor the headboard to the wall behind the bed to avoid the issue. I definitely recommend the bed, it is very well made.

I'd say a qualified "yes, you can sit up pretty straight". The bedframe itself isn't a 90 degree angle, but with a mattress the user effect is nearly 90 degrees. May depend some on the mattress you choose.

I wouldn't use it for something like that. If you are planning to sit on it in bed. It is in the shape of a wedge so it would push you forward I imagine.

The depth won't matter. As you can see from the picture, it will be higher than the bed frame.

Same here. I have a platform bed frame with no side support at all and I have no problem at all. I hope this helps.

absolutely. that is why i got it. I wanted something that i did not need a boxspring and the bed would still be normal height. And I wanted something that was not expensive. This is perfect. Room for storage underneath.

You would need something like a box spring mattress or just put suitable strong boards or lumber cut to fit the frame. You would definitely sink on just a plain foam mattress!

Yes, you sink slightly. I tend to like softer beds, so this worked well for me. You do leave a slight indentation too, but this goes away quickly after you move around.

If your bed frame had 2 plates that you can use nuts and bolts to secure the board, you can do so.. or it is better to place it against the wall. The depth is about 1 foot and the board is not heavy enough to stand up by itself.

Just a straight chair will work I think I am sitting at it right now I really like it. I have very old fashion wooded chair that looks very nice with it.

It MIGHT be possible to use against the wall without attaching to a bed frame, but then you would have to figure out a way to anchor it to the wall. I do not think It would be possible to simply "lean" it against the wall.

You will need slats or an actual bed frame with good strong ledges on sides and a beam through the middle with legs. Otherwise, it can shift and tip, sending you through the bed and onto the floor. I put mine on top of the slats that came with my platform bed (my memory foam mattress was so malleable that we kept popping the slats out, so this fixed that issue). I had originally tried it without the slats, but the ledges on the side weren't wide enough to support it without it shifting.

You'll jut sit lower then. I have beauty rest memory foam plus pillow top so part of my head board is covered. Just keep in mind it's a platform not a regular box spring.

Depends on height you set it at. It does fold into a narrow position. It fits into a very tight area in my home and might slide under some beds altho mine have large frames to hold head and footboards.
