Know before you buy
Because the headboard is designed to be universal, you will need to measure your specific bed frame's mounting points and drill the holes into the headboard legs during installation. This ensures a precise, custom fit for your specific rail system.
The Kelsey Mission Slat Headboard stands at a fixed height of 54 inches, providing a substantial presence that works well with most standard mattress and box spring heights.
Each wood species offers unique grain patterns and hardness levels. For example, Oak and Hard Maple are exceptionally dense and durable, while Cherry and Walnut offer distinct, rich color tones that deepen over time. All options are solid wood and built to heirloom standards.
Yes, this headboard can be used with an adjustable base. Since it mounts directly to a rail system or can be wall-mounted, you simply need to ensure your adjustable base has the necessary brackets or that you have a wall-mount kit to keep the headboard stationary.
Yes, the structural design remains identical regardless of the wood species you choose. The slat spacing and frame dimensions are consistent, ensuring the classic mission aesthetic is maintained across all finish and material options.
