fluff: Bed headboard and foot board

I have a headboard and footboard. The footboard is low and would not keep me from sliding off the bed.

At home we have only a headboard, at the lake cabin we have headboard and footboard.

I cannot manage to walk around a footboard without slamming into it, no matter how much clearance I think I have, so I am #headboardonly. And my thighs are bruise-free and grateful.

We have a four poster bed, so headboard but no footboard in the traditional sense.

We have a rice bed which is a four-poster that’s fairly iconic in the south.

Charleston Magazine describes it this way: “ Rice beds were primarily designed to allow for better air circulation during steamy summers. The mattress frame is high off the ground, while the headboard is low and sometimes completely removable. Before air conditioning, beds were moved to the center of the room during hot weather for a cooler sleep.”

The one in our bedroom has a higher headboard but the footboard between the lower posts is quite low (below the mattress). It does sit fairly high overall. We have a really high one in a guest room with a set of bed steps to make it easier to access it.

Other rooms have either a sleigh style bed or an iron bed.

We used to have just a headboard. I like to scooch down and hang my feet off the end of the bed so no footboard. We got a new bed a couple months ago and haven’t taken the time to find a replacement.

Our old bed had a headboard and footboard. Last year we bought a Sleep Number bed and just a headboard. Don’t miss the footboard at all. I love not having one anymore. It’s easier to make the bed and it just feels more open.

We have a massive carved wood california king canopy. It's got a head and footboard.

We have a headboard and footboard. The footboard does make it a little tricky to make the bed, but that works for me. Dh chooses to make the bed so I don't risk breaking a nail. Can't complain about that. :-)

  

We have a sleigh bed, so a headboard and a way too big footboard. After 32 years of marriage, I'm ready for something like this.

you do not have to have the incline so steep that you slide off. Husband has had reflux for many, many years and once he put the be on an slight incline he was much better.

I have a headboard. The footboard is just corner posts. Two posts that curve around the corner of the bed, it keeps the duvet tucked but not tight like a soild footboard. I have I throw blanket tossed over for easy access if I'm cold.

We have an adjustable bed frame. We can raise the head or the knees or both. When I had surgery and had to sleep on an incline I raised the head to a comfortable height and then raised the knees just enough to keep me from rolling over. Worked like a charm and was very comfy. We got the adjustable frame free when we bought a new mattress a few years ago. Best purchase ever!
