In general, metal bed frames are designed with more retro-fitting options for a wide variety of headboards, but many wood or wood-like synthetic bed frames are designed with mount points as well for a variety of headboards. You don’t necessarily need to match materials when it comes to your headboard and bed frame combination, but it’s important to always make sure of two things- that the headboard you buy is made for the size bed frame you own- be it queen, twin, full, or king. Secondly, you need to make sure that the maximum adjustable height of your headboard will clear your bed’s height- especially if the headboard does not include wall-mounting options. The best tufted headboard may not be the one that fits your frame, so balancing form and function is important.
