can this be used without a headboard?

Definitely.....we do not have any headboards in the house. Over this bed and frame we have a wall hanging - no headboard, no problem!

Yes, I think it would work well without one, I have one attached but it's a very sturdy frame

You can put it together without the side rail but I don't think it would make the bed as sturdy so I wouldn't recommend it.

I think you can since it holds like 600 lbs or something like that. It was tall enough and the website said it isn't needed so I didn't. It's really sturdy without it and the height of a regular bed without one. Using one won't hurt it.

There is no headboard or footboard with this. Also no mattress. Just the metal frame.

I think you probably can. The mattress will be higher. We currently use it without a box spring because it is the bottom bunk.

Probably. They dont give any side panels for the "top" of the bed area, leaving it ready for installing a headboard i believe.

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

Yes. With a mattress alone the bed sits really low. Only the foot board and head board comes. So you will also need A bed frame.

I think so. I have a set of bed frame to go with it. It will be a little low without a box springs or a frame. Hope it's helpful :)

No, it's just the mattress alone. Best idea would be to use a large piece of plywood or an ikea bed frame + slats.

It depends, the box spring fits into a frame. The frame could fit into a headboard and footboard. The box spring does not attach directly to a headboard without a frame.

I don't think it would work without the headboard, would be unstable, so probably not available. The platform is 23 1/2 inches high.

No, no as it comes out of the box. They do sell brackets that allow a headboard to be attached.

It is very suitable with out a headboard. I've used it without a headboard since i bought it.

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!

With the up and down motion of this bed ,personally I wouldn't think that type.of headboard would work

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
