Uma cama box completa (cabeceira/box/colchão) é um "box spring set". Pela descrição que você deu, diria "headboard and frame for box spring bed" (see also quandt's answer below).

In response to fvasconcellos, maybe its a US/Commonwealth English thing. Note here, it says Bedhead (with headboard in brackets): http://sydney.gumtree.com.au/c-ViewAd?AdId=45711109
and look here - it says "bedhead slip cover"
http://www.okadirect.com/bedroom-and-bathroom/bed-slip-cover...
even the London Stock Exchange website has it (admittedly with headboard in brackets:
http://www.londonstockexchange.com/en-gb/global/H/Search?q=F...
Also, the Merriam Webster dictionary says "bedhead - the head of a bed"
and speaking of which, I'm off to mine now zzzzzzzzzz

: Wow, I never heard it as such—usually associate "bedhead" with the condition of your hair when you get up in the morning :)
