How to Attach Twin Beds to a King Headboard

King beds are a roomy option for a couple who prefers their space while sleeping. However, these beds can be cumbersome to move around because of their large size. Combining two twin beds to make a king bed is possible with the use of a special insert between the two. Adding a headboard to the new king bed gives it a finished look and is possible with the use of swing hinges.
