Headboard with base that slips under mattress

Abstract

One embodiment relates to a headboard design that offers an alternative to the conventional headboards that are available in the marketplace today. I have found through observation that most headboards work fine considering their design and use, however some consumers just want to have a headboard that is extremely easy to install without the hassle of using tools and/or the expense of having to purchase complete bed frame packages that include a footboard with rails.

1 . A headboard support base where said base is separate from the headboard, has a flat design and is slid under the head end of a mattress and is thus held in place and has no requirement of tools to set up the headboard on a bed. 
   
   
       2 . The non-requirements of tools of  claim 1  extends to the joining of the upper headboard and the lower supporting base; where the pipe ends of each piece push together, as one pipe end is larger than the other. 
   
   
       3 . The self-supporting feature as indicated in  claim 1  allows this headboard combination as in  claim 2  to be non-reliant on other components such as footboards and rails or brackets of any type. 
   
   
       4 . In  claim 2  where the unit is shown to be in two (2) separate pieces, the upper headboard and the lower supporting base, it is thus that many different styles of headboards may be made and then jointed to just one design of support base. 
   
   
       5 . Mattress thickness varies and  claim 2  allows for a height adjuster to be placed between the upper headboard and lower support base where they join thereby allowing the headboard assembly the flexibility to accept different mattress types. 
   
   
       6 . In a support base that is under a mattress, the edge of such a frame may come into painful contact with the fingers of a person dressing the bed; therefore the frame mentioned here is bent away from the edge of the bed thus lessoning the likelihood of such an accident.
