 i) a rigid rectangular frame having four sides, each side having a width between the front surface and rear surface of the headboard; 
 ii) one or more internal partitions extending between parallel sides of the frame; 
 iii) a cover formed by one or more pieces of material extending over at least the rear surface of the headboard, the cover further including a reversibly securable opening, wherein the space within the cover forms a storage area divided by the internal partitions; 
   b) a right side rail having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the right side rail can be attached to the lower end of the right side of the headboard so as to extend distally from the headboard,   c) a left side rail having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the left side rail be attached to the lower end of the left side of the headboard so as to extend distally from the headboard, and   d) a foot portion having a right side and a left side, wherein the right side of the foot portion can be attached to the distal end of the right side rail and the left side of the foot portion can be attached to the distal end of the left side rail; and   2) a mattress foundation sized to fit between the headboard, right side rail, left side rail, and foot portion of the bed frame.   
     
     
         2 . The bed frame assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising a headboard cushion reversibly attached to the front surface of the headboard, the cushion having a right side, a left side, an upper end, a lower end, a front surface and a rear surface. 
     
     
         3 . The bed frame assembly of  claim 2 , wherein:
 the headboard further comprises a first portion of a zipper extending horizontally between the right side and the left side of the headboard at an upper end of the front surface of the headboard,   the cushion further comprises a second portion of the zipper extending between the right side and the left side of the cushion on the upper end of the rear surface, and   the first portion and second portion of the zipper can be mated to reversibly secure the cushion to the headboard.   
     
     
         4 . The bed frame assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising leg supports extending downwardly from the distal end of each of the side rails or from the right side and left side of the foot portion of the bed frame. 
     
     
         5 . The bed frame assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the right side rail comprises a proximal side rail portion and a distal side rail portion, and wherein the proximal side rail portion and a medial side rail portion are attached to each other by a medial side rail connector. 
     
     
         6 . The bed frame assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the left side rail comprises a proximal side rail portion and a distal side rail portion, and wherein the proximal side rail portion and a medial side rail portion are attached to each other by a medial side rail connector. 
     
     
         7 . The bed frame assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the mattress foundation comprises:
 a frame having a head end frame portion, foot end frame portion, a right side frame portion extending between a right side of each the head end and foot end frame portions, and a left side frame portion extending between a left side of each of the head end and foot end frame portions;   one or more lateral supports extending between the right side frame portion and the side frame portion; and   a plurality of slats, each slat having an upper surface, a lower surface, a proximal end, and a distal end, wherein the proximal end of each slat is positioned on top of the head end portion or one of the lateral supports of the frame, and wherein the distal end of each slat is positioned on top of the foot end frame portion or one of the lateral supports of the frame.   
     
     
         8 . The bed frame assembly of  claim 7 , wherein the upper surface of the head end portion, foot end portion, and lateral supports comprises one half of a hook and loop fastener, and wherein the lower surface of at least the proximal and distal ends of the slats comprises the other half of the hook and loop fastener, so that the slats are reversibly secured to the frame. 
     
     
         9 . The bed frame assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the headboard frame has a width between the front surface and rear surface of the headboard, and wherein the one or more partitions have approximately the same width as the width of the headboard frame. 
     
     
         10 . The bed frame assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the headboard includes two partitions extending between parallel sides of the frame. 
     
     
         11 . The bed frame assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the right side rail, left side rail, and foot portion of the bed frame can be reversibly disassembled into components, and wherein the components are sized to fit within the storage area of the headboard. 
     
     
         12 . The bed frame assembly of  claim 1 , wherein reversibly secured opening of the cover is a zipper opening. 
     
     
         13 . The bed frame assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the cover extends over the front surface of the headboard.
