Best place to buy a standalone headboard / footboard for a bed?

February 8, 2018 3:31 AM

They sell them at Ikea, but only for queen size beds (I have a full/double). Amazon has a fairly limited selection, as does Wayfair, but I'm interested in hopefully getting something delivered in the next few days. I cannot find footboards or standalone headboard/footboard sets anywhere.

Use a queen headboard for a full bed. It won't be that much overhang on each side and will look fine. Buy converter plates to attach.

Check Craigslist which often has ads for full-size beds, especially Ikea. Just put "full size bed" into the Craigslist search box in "furniture for sale."

I've bought a headboard (cash and carry) at a brick and mortar mattress store. Some furniture stores on the lower end of the spectrum, like Rooms 2 Go or Ashley, may also offer faster local delivery than a higher-end store - sometimes you can even drive out to the warehouse and pick up. Also, for a double bed you might find more selection in the kids/teens section.

I like Costco since I can return it very easily if I dont like it. Not a giant selection but I trust them so much I always pick quality over large selection.

Pier One has standalone headboards in full size, and they may have them in stock at your store nearby or they'll ship there for free. I bought one a few years ago from Pier One and I'm very happy with it. It was well-made and looks good and was easy to install on my metal bed frame.

Any retailer with a 'teen' line will have them; here's Pottery Barn's PBTeen selection as an example. For these retailers, their stock and your location decide shipping options.

Target has hundreds, too.

Your local HomeGoods store might have some too (if there are any where you are.)

American Furniture Warehouse has quite a few, and they deliver quickly.
