Headboard and Side Rails

This ubiquitous type lets the headboard take center stage, with simple rails composing the other three sides.

The no-footboard style is most often paired with upholstered headboard and matching rails, but is prevalent in wood as well—especially in modern designs, which favor its simple lines.

The continuation of the material from the headboard to rails differentiates this style from the simple headboard-only option, and makes for a complete, cohesive finish.
