Hello! The previous owner of my house put built in wardrobes and a quite specific nook for a standard (135cm wide) double bed. There's also a built in shelf in the nook at 100cm tall.

Previously there was a divan bed base but it's so old and grotty and I want to replace it. I don't want another divan bed, I just want something simple and metal / wood. But it's so difficult to buy a bed without a headboard! And most beds with headboards won't fit in the nook!

I am thinking of buying the Stjarno, I couldn't work out from the instructions whether the headboard has any structural function or whether I could buy this bed and just use it without the headboard? It seems like it to me, but would like a second opinion based on the diagrams...
