What are a headboard and footboard?
Headboards attach to the head of your bed. Traditionally used to keep pillows on the bed, they’ve since evolved into decorative statement pieces. Footboards are less common than headboards; while most frames incorporate a headboard, only specific frames can accommodate a footboard. Footboards often serve as decorative extensions of the headboard and to keep blankets and comforters from slipping off the foot of the bed.
