Hi Anna I'm from Argentina,
Hi Anna I'm from Argentina, we use the metric system here, I was wondering if you could tell me how thick is a 3/4 MDF Board. Here we have 3, 5.5, 9, 12, 15 and 18 milimeter thick boards. Which one do you think is best for the projects? Thank you so much! I love your blog!

Help!
I built the King Sized version, and LOVE it. The instructions were great. NOW. I have a very low wooden bed frame and mattress set - the mattress tops out at 20", which leaves a 1" gap between the mattress and the bottom of the headboard. That's not an issue...except that it makes the headboard rather flimsy, as there's nothing to hold it up right now except the bed frame pushed up against the legs. I can certainly drill holes and bolt it to the bed frame...but will that be sturdy enough, without the mattress to brace the rest of the headboard? It's going to mark up my wall, and we don't want that...help?

Just wanted to say thanks for posting this design. I made two for my girls this weekend, varying the height a bit because I thought the default was a bit high for twin beds. The results are great, and the girls love them.

Question
I see in the materials list it had screws, nails and pocket hole screws? But I only see where the nails are used. Am I missing something?

Great headboard
Because I used some less expensive wood, I was faced with bowing of the 1x4's and 1x6's on the panel. To resolve this, I ran 2 1x2's down the backside of the panel - placed about one-third of of the way from each side. Then I placed 1 1/4" in screws on the backside down the 1x2's into each 1x4 and 1x6 removing the bowing.
I used the twin bed measurements but when I went to attach the existing metal bed frame to the headboard, the metal frame was narrower than the bedframe legs.
I slipped in a 1x6 between the grooves in the legs-secured by glue and pocket hole screws. I then attached a second 1x6 to that to make it flush with the headboard legs - secured by glue and 1 1/4 inch screws inserted in the back.
That "stringer" permitted me to securely attach the bed frame to the headboard.

a couple suggestions
I know this is an old plan but if you are looking for an easy headboard, I would suggest this plan. I built it in an afternoon, but that doesn't include the finish. I used screws for the whole plan except the sides of the legs, much easier than nails, and sturdier also. And on the top 2x4 piece, I used 3" screws that I countersunk, so the holes can be filled and won't show. Also, as someone suggested, I used two 1x2 on the back for bowing because I actually used old garage shelves that were 1x12, and I wanted them flatter. It came out very nice and feels very solid.

Too wide!
I love the plans for the headboard and love the look!! One problem, the board are about two inches too far apart to bolt to the bed frame..tried two different frames and same issue. We fixed it by adding another piece of wood to lay across the legs and just bolted it to that. Make sure you measure your bed frame before building!!
