if it has no headboard than where would the tufting be?

also, check pbteen--they have alot of platform beds and some have dressers/bookcases on the long side of the bed. they go up to queen size

Isn't this a repeat of a very similar post from about 3 months ago?

And didn't we all say that the solution was to either get something custom-made or to use a King headboard?

I think the reason there aren't more sideways-placement bed frames out there is that they would be terribly inconvenient for the people who even only occasionally share their bed. If my husband had to climb over me in the night in order to get up, there would surely be blood.

is that Curly Sue sitting on the bed? ??

Bepsf, I had the exact same thought.

If you google "tufted daybed" you can find some, though I'm not sure they're quite what you're looking for. Haven't found any with a tufted headboard on the side, though.

This would really be fairly simple to make yourself. Basic carpentry, maybe level 2 upholstery if you want that much tufting. A few sheets of plywood, some foam, batting and fabric, a jigsaw, a drill and a staple gun. DIYable in a day or less.

my old boss was the head of adler's design department, and did that whole project. they had the bed made custom, because there are a lot of daybed options for twins but none for larger mattresses.

my suggestion, honestly? go to an upholstery or fabric store and inquire about having your dream-bed made custom. you'll probably spend about the same as a nice frame from a retailer (maybe $2000 plus fabric? that's an estimate), and you'll get exactly what you want.

it's DIYable, certainly, but a custom one will come out looking perfect and be really solidly built.

I have had the same problem. When I have a budget to play with, I plan on getting tufted headboard in a King size and placing it on the side of full sized bed. I may have a frame made or attempt to make one myself (gasp!) I the meantime I just covered an old twin sized mattress with an attractive coverlet and have it flushed to the side of my current bed. It's great for small places that need to be used as both a bedroom and place to watch movies and LIVE etc. When my room is finished I would love to share it hear on AT. As a professional designer/stylist and an amateur decorator it's been fun challenge to try to solve lots of small space and other aesthetic issues creativity and with an extremely modest budget.
Best of luck!

that bed is GORGEOUS!
