How to Attach a Headboard to an Adjustable Bed?
To attach a headboard to an adjustable bed, there are a few things to consider. First, determine whether the adjustable bed comes with headboard brackets or if you need to purchase them separately. Not all adjustable beds include brackets when you buy the bed. Second, consider whether you have a traditional bed frame or just a standalone headboard.

Traditional Bed
If you have a traditional bed frame with side rails, a footboard, and a headboard, there’s no need to attach headboard brackets. This is because the adjustable bed simply sits inside the bed frame, making setup easy and eliminating the need to purchase or attach headboard brackets.
Attaching a Headboard to the Base Only
If you only have a headboard and would like to attach brackets to your adjustable bed, you’ll need brackets and a few bolts. Many headboard brackets are universal if they’re made by the same company. However, it’s best to purchase the brackets from the same brand, as not all brands use compatible designs. To attach the brackets, insert the bolts into the base and slide the brackets into place. Then, screw the bolts into the headboard—and that’s it. Attaching a headboard is a very simple process.
Summary
Overall, attaching headboard brackets is a simple process. The main concern is ensuring you have the correct brackets for your bed base. Each manufacturer provides instructions to help guide you through the installation. In most cases, you’ll only need about eight bolts, though this may vary depending on the manufacturer and bracket design.
