How do I install this on a twin bed with a box spring?

slide the metal pieces between the box spring and mattress, then secure to the opposite side of the bed. It'll be fine

I brought the straps to the other side across the box spring, the put the mattress on top of the straps and secured it with the round metal disk that will rests against the mattress to hold the bed rail in place.

The rail has Two straps that go above the box spring across to the opposite side where a metal disk rests on the outside of the box spring and they can be adjusted to fit twin, full or queen beds. Mattress goes on top and all is secure.

You would place the straps and L bracket between the box spring and mattress for support. The straps adjust to fit the lesser width of the twin mattress.

We use it on a king bed with a box spring. You just place the straps between the mattress and the box spring. It works great this way.

You will need to support your mattress, with either box springs, or a box. A box looks like a box spring, but it is no more than a spacer / mattress support ...

Depends what kind of frame you have. If the frame has cross beams that support the mattress throughout then you don't need a box spring. If your frame supports the mattress only on the edges then you need a box spring.

It requires something. I currently have it on my old king box springs (which are close to 2 twin box springs, but are longer) I plan on making a new box spring, as currently the old box springs make the bed a bit higher than I like. I also have a Queen (not linen spa) on a platform bed which has wood slats of about 2 inch spacing. You could easily place this on plywood...16" is plenty support.

The bed does not need a box spring unless you have a mattress that is ultra thin! I have a pillow top king size mattress from Ikea and my own make shift bed rail since the one that comes with it is too frail. The bed is a platform!

Valerie, I use this on a 4-way convertible crib. It is only meant for toddler size mattresses. It isn't meant to use on twin mattress set ups anyway. It comes with two ways to install. 1. No drilling required, snaps onto the spring platform that holds the mattress, or 2. drilling required to install a bracket onto the wooden platform your mattress sits on. I did option 2 as we don't have a spring platform.Does this help? Hope so!

There are two sets of pre-drilled holes in the legs of the unit which attach to a Full or Queen frame. My bed doesn't have a normal box spring & frame assembly so I only have it against the wall with the frame & mattress holding it in place. Hope this helps. The assembly was a little confusing and the solid panel is boring so I added a decorative wood medallion to further make the frame match the furniture in the room. Good luck! It was a great value.

We didn't buy box springs. You don't need them bc they have slats and box springs would make them too high. The mattresses were standard twin. I hope that helps. The bed is a good sturdy one that can fit easily if space is limited.

I have the box spring on a full size bed frame that attaches to the headboard. The box spring is just that, a box spring you will probably want a bed frame. Love the bed!

We put a sheet of plywood over our existing box springs and it's worked beautifully. You definitely need to support the mattress.

You don't have to use a box spring. You can use a platform of some sort to support it, or you can buy a foundation for it as I did for another mattress. There's a few ways to set it up so that it's right for you.

You can use a box spring if you want a higher bed or a platform with wooden slats or a bunkie board (usually used for bunk beds) for a lower profile. I purchased a wire grid bed frame threw a bed skirt on it and you'd never know!

No, you do not need a box spring. I have my mattress on a plain plywood board, and it works great.

I put it directly on the Sleep Master platform frame. No box spring required.

This probably depends on the bed frame. We have a flat piece of plywood under ours. Works perfectly! No box spring required. :)
