As Darren said, many wood frames come with a bracket to attach an existing
headboard. If the brackets are not included, almost any hardware store carries
a nice selection of angle brackets for you to choose from.

Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Buying a new Bed?
Okay,
I need some explanation here.
We have a queen-sized bed that sits on a metal frame with wheels. The bed has
both its matress and box spring!
The headboard is what's called a bookcase style. It's the width of the bed,
with shelves on each side and an open space in the middle.
We'd like a similar set-up for the new bed.
However, we've been hunting, and this is what we've found. The beds don't
seem to have metal or iron frames anymore; they seem to have a wood base or
frame. I'm wondering if we can connect a headboard to this type of bed or not?
As I said, the current frame is on wheels, so that gives the bed some height;
we need something that's a little lower to the ground, so it seems that wood
frames are the way to go. But, again, we also want this book case style
headboard, and they're difficult to find.
Walmart has one by Sauder that we can put together, and this is what I'm
thinking of doing.
Is it logical that you can purchase a bed frame separately from the bed
itself? Am I right in thinking that you can't connect headboards to wooden
frames? And if I'm wrong on this, how is this done? Would it be by drilling
holes into the frame and screwing the headboard to it?
I'm not sure if this is making any sense, but since I don't have any sight,
all of what I'm picturing here has been things that I've only been able to
touch!
