Remove it from the waterbed frame. Prop it up behind the new bed (pushing against the headboard) and the wall.
Hi there, could you add some pics for us?
We would kinda have to see a picture to see what needs to be done, but generally if it sits on the floor, you would need to add two wooden upright supports like 1x 3s from floor to almost the top the headboard, and drill holes in them where your bed frame would screw into them, then screw the headboard onto them
Does the headboard unbolt from the waterbed base? If so just unbolt it and screw directly the wall. Push your mattress up to the new headboard.
Waterbed headboards are usually very heavy... I would use a french cleat to attach the headboard to the wall to keep it from falling over.... that could ruin a good nights sleep...lol
We have our headboard pushed up against the wall and the frame of the bed/mattress against it, holds it in place...You could attach the headboard to the wall and put the frame/mattress up against it...no one will be able to tell it is not attached.
Create a cleat by cutting a board in half lengthwise at an angle about the width of the headboard, fastening one to the back of the headboard and one to the wall and hanging the back cleat on the bed on the cleat on the wall.
