Hi. I am going to remove the headboard and foot board of my bed to be able to fit it on the other side of the room to achieve more space. However, as stated, it wont be able to have any legs on it to hold it upenter my dilemma. I have heard that you can get such a thing as brackets that will enable you to attach the bed to the wall without having to use legs to hold it up and it will hold it there securely. When I have looked them up, typing in 'wall mountable bed brackets' nothing comes up. Am I saying the wrong thing? I dont know what they're called, or if they exist or where even to find them now. Where could I find these 'bed brackets' or something similar to hold my bed up without having to use its legs.
I haven't seen any brackets designed to hold a bed in the free floating type design. There are for shelves but they do not usually hold much weight and a bed sticks out much further and not only needs it weight supported but that of any occupant and possibly two. This poses some problems as the brackets would have to be large, heavy and fastened to the floor and wall. Now options for you. Cheapest is a metal bed frame that has 4 legs but all are under the bed frame and not sticking out anywhere. Go to bedding stores, Sears whatever or even second hand furniture stores get one for $20. It is 2 rails that go along the side of a box spring and the cross members at each end slide together so it is adjustable for different sizes, many have rollers so you can move the bed if necessary (for cleaning under it, changing sheets etc). Otherwise you need to attach the bed frame to the wall (use the wall studs to attach to) and then either a cable attachment to the ends of the frame on the outer corners going up and attaching to the wall near the ceiling to provide support for the other side of the bed or two legs to support the outside part of the frame but under the edge rather than outside the frame.
