Wall-Mount
To install a wall-mounted headboard, you'll need a flat surface you can easily drill into. So long as you have this, installation is easy. With wall-mounted headboards, you have the ease of customizing placement to create a unique design.
Bed Frame Mount
Some headboard mounts allow for a direct installation onto your bed frame. With just a few screws, you can have a complete setup. Oftentimes, the bed frame and headboard can be purchased together; however, if you purchase your headboard separately, you can connect to your bed frame, so long as it has compatible brackets.
Free Standing
Free standing headboards do not need to be attached to either your bed frame or your wall. These headboards stand alone, providing you with tons of flexibility for placement.
