Does this pillow need a headboard or wall behind it, or can it support my weight on its own?

It needs a wall, I just tried it wo and almost fell off the bed. Plus we had to get a pillowcase custom-made. Kind of a pain.

Yes, it needs support, it's not firm enough to be used free standing. Unfortunately, it doesn't fit into any ready made pillow case. The maker sells a pillow case for it on their website, downside is it costs $60. I would not have bought had I known that. I think there are better pillows out there for less money n less hassle. Hope this helps.

Definitely.....we do not have any headboards in the house. Over this bed and frame we have a wall hanging - no headboard, no problem!

I have used it as a head pillow but it doesn't really support my head like I would like, it isn't too thick it just isn't that firm, as a body pillow and for the price it's perfect. Hope this helps.

I use mine as decorative bed pillows, however it seems pretty firm. I would still consider getting a firmer pillow, specifically noted for lumbar support.

Not really, but I bought padded headboards and just propped them against the wall behind the frame. The frame is so tall that there's no problem with stability.

I never considered a headboard, but the base is very stable. Personally I would mount a wooden headboard on the wall and push the bed in front of it. If you want to attach a headboard to the frame, you would have to have some sort of collars to attach it to the pipe frame. If the headboard is heavy relative to the frame, I would suggest a footboard as well to balance the weight. A relatively light headboard would be fine, but I would consider the design of the attachments carefully, with regard to a stable and attractive result.

I'm not sure what exactly you're looking for but I will tell you it definitely lacks lumbar support. I always end up putting at least one pillow behind my back.

I do not believe this is rigid enough to stand alone, it's basically a pillow after all.

I wouldn't plan on hanging a headboard off of this. If the headboard was mostly self supported, you could tie into it for basic stability. We hung out headboard on the wall which is an alternate option.

needs a wall. inless you like mount it to the bedframe with bolts and brackets. but i wouldnt trust it to still stay up.

No, it is not available without headboard. The bed would be unstable and have unfinished edges if you assemble without headboard.

This really needs a hard flat surface behind it. Like a wall or the side of a dresser. With that support it sags :-/

No, you need to use it as a topper. It would be way way way too thin to sleep on by itself.

I put a neck pillow behind my head, I had a friend over for a few days and let her use it where there is no headboard, and she put a pillow behind her head, she loved it and she has a lot of pain. I really love this , if you get it I hope you will also. Martha Mikesell

Yes! I am very pleased with this headboard. I will say that the wood board, can not support the top part... but I just attached it to the wall, which works perfectly! Great for the price.

Yes it supports my middle back...I wouldn't recommememory memory foam if you're over200lbs.

Ralph,One of the leading features of this pillow is the support it gives when the head falls to one side. Whether it would be adequate for your neck I do not know but its lateral support is one of the things I like the best about it.
