Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a bed, and more particularly to a bedhead frame and a bed frame structure having the bedhead frame.


2. Description of the Prior Art

A bedhead frame is usually disposed at one side of a bed frame. Most of conventional bedhead frames are attached to the wall when used. The bedhead frame can be used as part of the bed frame. Both sides of the bedhead frame are connected to two support boards of the bed frame by means of connectors, or the bedhead frame is directly disposed at one side of the bed frame without a backrest, sold as a separate product. The conventional bed frame is an integrated plate-like structure. Because the width of the bedhead frame cannot be adjusted, it is difficult to pack and transport the bedhead frame. In addition, the conventional bed frames don't provide any retaining function for a mattress. The mattress may shift when mounted to the bed frame, causing trouble to the user.


Accordingly, the inventor of the present invention has devoted himself based on his many years of practical experiences to solve these problems.
