Abstract A waterbed headboard bracket is disclosed for attaching a headboard to a waterbed frame. The waterbed headboard bracket comprises a Z-shaped elongated element including a pair of leg sections joined by an integral middle section. Each of the leg sections has a pair of slots for attaching to the waterbed frame and to the headboard. One pair of slots extend in the elongated direction of the elongated element. The other pair of slots extend transverse to the elongated direction of the elongated element. With the bracket mounted on the waterbed frame and the headboard, the headboard can be adjusted in the vertical and horizontal direction in relation to the waterbed frame.
