Will these work for a bunk bed? rails seem to need box springs and I need these for my almost 2 yr old.

I probably wouldn't recommend them for a bunk bed. We got these over a year ago and kind of have a love-hate relationship with them. They're one of the best things we have found so far, but they do not stay put. We had to resort to adding velcro on the bottom to try to make it stick better to the mattress plus holding it down with packing tape. Granted, for a bunk bed, it would seem to me a little to risky to have it slide out of place if someone is sleeping on the top bunk.

Yes if you have one of those pee covers for the entire bed and then the sheet that covers that it will hold in place

I don't see why not. They stay in place good. Especially if you have rails to keep it in place. I have my top sheet over it to make sure it stays in place. They are nice and firm and hold their shape very well.

I personally wouldn't put a 2 yr old on the top bunk (I've got a wiggly 2 yr old grandson I babysit daily). However, I truly love them for the regular level. To keep them in place I would put a blanket on the bed part then over the bumper and then under it, then I had no problem. I would recommend them to anyone. Used them for my granddaughter then passed them over to my grandson. Good luck!

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!

I would recommend a toddler bed rail for a bunk bed. Bunk beds will have a wider and longer mattress than a crib mattress. Usually the mattress on a bunk bed is thicker (higher) than a crib mattress as well. Meaning there would only be a few inches of rail sticking up past the mattress using a crib rail on a bunk bed. The higher toddler bed rail will compensate for the thicker mattress. The toddler bed rails will be longer and provide more coverage.

I think all you need is to buy two bed rails from the company that makes them. I bought two of these cribs for my twins and really like them. But my babies are 3 months old so I haven't got to that point yet.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I bought the bed for a 10 yr old. Safety rails weren't a factor. Sorry I can't be of more help.

No, due to the height of the rails. The rails are not tall enough for both a mattress and box spring, the mattress would slide right off due to not being contained by the rails. But the bed frame is made to not need a box spring at all, which is how I use it with no problems.

I had the same situation and it worked out. There's a few things to consider... the hooks on the ends must match firstly, which is hard to calculate unless you know what the prior ones looked like. There's a good change they WILL work, because they were somewhat common across beds, but there are exceptions. The length is a 'standard' length - so the basic question to find out is... will the hooks properly hook into your headboard and footboard. If you DON'T have the originals, find the cheapest set of adapter hooks (not the bars, just hooks) that appear to match those on these rails, order them, and if they fit, return them and order these bars. Secondly, make sure that you have a normal length mattress. That would be likely unless your mattress/box spring themselves were antiques and well... who would like that? ;)

We have it on my daughter's bunkbed with no box spring and it is still very firm! You don't necessarily need a box spring, but some sort of platform would help or it would be very low to the ground...(only 5-6 inches in height).

Hello, I would get a regular twin mattress. We put a plywood and a low profile box spring. If you put a bunkie board and a pillow top it might work. The only problem with a pillow top would be it might be to high and the mattress might make the child be even with the side rails.

You need a piece of wood the size of the springs for a crib. This is the exact size needed. We cut 2x2's to width and put them all down the frame of this bed.

These rails should fit a standard length queen bed just fine. I use mine on a twin bed and have several inches of rail length left, so I could use them on a longer bed, if I chose to.

I would not use them on the top of a bunk bed specially if there is other railings.

The rails seem to work fine. No wobblying. My bed was so low that I couldn't use the crossbrace with the feet so we just put a board between the rails to support the center of the box spring.

Probably. Are there any railings at all? They do slide out a little from out twin bed but I haven't had them push all the way out. I could probably tighten them up a little under the mattress. The problem is the doubles are really designed to fit a bigger bed (double or queen). But if you have any railing at all up there that would hold them in place and they would work great. Also better than nothing. I'm just a little skeptical because if it did push out, that's a long drop. I have one side up against the wall which helps to keep them in place. There is a strap connecting the two sides together. It just is a little loose for the twin. You could probably shorten the strap and they would work fine. OK, I hope this helped. If you have any other questions, let me know and I'll try and help.

The specs call for a platform or box spring under the mattress, but I'm sure it would work fine on bunk beds too. If it seems to sag a piece of plywood between the slats and mattress will fix it right up. In fact that's what I did for my kids' bunk beds and it made a huge difference.

I placed the box spring and mattress on the floor. The rails were between the box spring and mattress. Works just fine. Imagine doing the same without the box spring might work and may depend on your flooring and whether the mattress would slip, or not. These rails are awesome.

Agree that for a tight fit you shouldn't need them. In our case we actually had some room on either side - our mattress width was a bit smaller than the rail width when installed on older headboard/footboard. So I made up slats and also made small wooden spacer shims to drop in along either side to keep the mattress "centered" between the rails. Good luck.
