I never buy beds; I buy mattresses. They usually throw in a bedframe for nothing. Then you can bolt on whatever headboard or footboard that you want, if any.
Unless you're buying a headboard/footboard made of really good or nicely-carved wood, the mattress is the largest part of the buy. Don't cheap out, buy a good brand, Sealy or Certa. A few years down the line, your back will thank you.
Also, may I suggest getting a split boxspring. You may find yourself living at some point at the top of a flight of stairs that's too narrow or twisty for a standard boxspring to fit through (mattresses will bend, boxsprings won't). Since a split boxspring comes in two pieces, the individual pieces are narrow and can be carried up any flight of stairs. And a split boxspring should cost the same as a regular boxspring. Cheap insurance.
