Decide how high you want the headboard on the wall.
How do you attach headboard to wall.
A headboard hangs from the wall as if it were a painting so attaching it is really quite simple.
The height depends upon what function the headboard serves.
For best results use two french cleats one on either edge of the back of the headboard.
However if your headboard consists of two separate pieces of wood you ll need four attachment points.
All you need are some rings and hooks.
If it is just a single board two attachment points is all you need.
Position a headboard as a backrest at least at the height of your head when you are in a sitting position on the bed.
If both of these ways to attach a headboard sounds like too much work you actually don t have to attach it to anything you can add some type of cushioning to the wall side and the back of the headboard you can use something as simple as a few furniture felt pads push the frame tight up against the headboard and the bed usually will hold.
The metal version is much easier to attach and only floats the headboard 1 4 inch from the wall.
Then you can place the headboard at the height you want and tighten the bolts to hold it in place.
