How to Fix a Gap Between Mattress & Headboard

1. Measure the Gap:

- Determine the exact measurement of the gap between the mattress and the bed frame using a measuring tape. This measurement will help you choose the appropriate materials to fill the gap.

2. Gather Materials:

- You'll need the following materials:

- Foam padding or rolls (the thickness should match the gap measurement)

- Upholstery fabric (optional, for a more finished look)

- Staple gun or heavy-duty glue

- Scissors or a utility knife

3. Cut the Foam Padding:

- Cut the foam padding to match the exact dimensions of the gap between the mattress and the bed frame. Make sure the foam is snugly fit between the gaps.

4. Place the Foam Padding:

- Carefully position the foam padding inside the gap between the mattress and the bed frame. Make sure it's evenly distributed to provide uniform support.

5. Secure the Foam Padding:

- If desired, you can secure the foam padding using a staple gun or heavy-duty glue. This step isn't necessary, but it can help keep the foam padding in place.

6. Add Upholstery Fabric (Optional):

- For a more polished look, you can cover the foam padding with upholstery fabric. Cut the fabric to the desired size, ensuring it wraps around the foam padding. Use a staple gun or heavy-duty glue to secure the fabric in place, ensuring a snug fit.

7. Test and Adjust:

- Reposition your mattress to ensure that it sits evenly and securely on top of the foam padding and bed frame.

You may need to do slight adjustments or use additional foam padding until you achieve a satisfactory fit.

Remember, this method aims to fill a small gap between a mattress and a bed frame. If you have a significant gap or your bed frame requires structural repairs, it's best to consult with a furniture professional or a handyman for a proper solution.
