The bed shows a headboard but they don't actually send you one, they said it was an IT mistake on the advert, it doesn't say there's one but it doesn't say there isn't one either, usually it says headboard sold separately. Also it was supposed to be a soft mattress but it's very hard and I needed to go buy a mattress topper to soften it for me. The base has holes predrilled for the headboard to fix to the base on both ends so you can see the holes at the foot of the bed.
