Are these pieces of furniture supposed to go together?

I'm looking to update my room a little bit and was thinking about getting a new bed.





I started looking around and finally I found some stuff on overstock.com





Now the problem. I found a new bed and would love a headboard but I'm not sure if I get the platform bed that the headboard is made or even supposed to be with the bed.





Please send help.

I suppose I'm not to worried if they DO go together physically as opposed to if they are supposed to or not be together visually.

The headboard looks like it comes to the floor in the picture they show. It does not look like it goes with the platform bed. The platform bed picture looks like a different headboard. I think the bookcase headboard is made to attach to a regular bed frame.
Reply:If you look on the page with the headboard and scoll down on the right hand side in the pic of the nightstand you can see the corner of what looks the same bed with the headboard. It's not much but will give you an idea about it, anyway.





Personally, I think it's alot of black but if you need the headboard, go for it.
Reply:Well, they were made for each other...literally. In reading the review at the bottom for the bed, the reviewer felt that the material used was cheaper than expected, therefore overpriced. Those who reviewed the headboard said it was confusing to put together and maybe shaky. So, $610 plus how much for freight? It's your money
Reply:it i were tight on money i would go buy to bookcases and paint them blk and use them as the headboard a lot cheaper or make a headboard yourself out of anything curtains hanging garden fence etc
Reply:Don't think they come with headboards. Platform beds are a differant type of bed than the usual conventional bed.





I just can't picture a headboard with a platform bed. They are more the sleek, clean looking bed.





Instead of a headboard, you could do something a little different. Look around and find something you like and put that above your bed. It would be your own personal touch.





A row of pictures or prints going straight across from one end to the other. Could be one a large item that suits your taste. Remember if you like it, use it. This is totally your desertion and no one else's.





Take your own tours of different furniture stores. They have display set-ups. You can get some ideas that way.





There are a lot of options to choose from.





Take your time and have fun with your make-over.
