Can anyone tell me how to keep the mattress from sliding all over the bed frame?

I didnt have this problem either, and we didn't put a bed skirt on it. We just use it when company comes to town.

You can purchase a non-slip rug mat from any home improvement store and place it between the frame and the mattress to stop the sliding.

Mine doesn't slide all over bed frame. I use it every night and I have nothing between mattress and frame.

Mine doesn't slide all over the bed frame. Perhaps because I have the bed skirt between the mattress and the frame. I received a bed skirt with mine.

I would say that it totally depends on the mattress. My futon cushion is actually 2 of the Wal-mart cushions from their (crappy) store brand futons, and while it doesn't slide off, it does "bunch" at the hinge in the center. I've compensated for that by hooking the full fitted sheet I use as a cover over the corners of the wooden frame and it's not a big problem.

I fold the frame and slip the folded mattress inside the folded frame and then into the cover. You can't fold the frame and mattress together.

It has for me. You would have to rotate the mattress to help fight that from happening. I may get another topper though because it is removable and see if that helps..

It's a fabric material with a tab at each corner to tuck under the bed. I haven't had any problems at all with it sliding.

I have queen sheets on a full mattress. I love the way the topper sleeps, but it drives me absolutely crazy the way it slides off the edge every couple of days.

Yes, I've tried to grip the mattress cover as well as the mattress itself. I had a difficult time doing so, and they didn't stay put. I don't use them anymore. Hope this helps.

Nothing to prevent the mattress from hanging over, imagine a metal futon frame, well made but a frame on wheels. You probably can get away with it. We use ours under my daughter's day bed for her sleep overs.

We generally tucked it under the sheet so that it would not move and we could always wash the sheet. We just wanted to prevent damage to the mattress. it will move if not tucked under the sheet

The frame does not hold the mattress in place, i.e., it can slide some. For the most part I have not found this to be a problem. The bed is well built. I have two.

It just lies over (and into) the gap. Which is part of the problem. There really is no way to keep the mattresses from shifting. Yes, you can remove and reuse the product.

As soon as My wife saw it we put it on the bed. and have had no problems with it lifting or sliding. I must add that we also have a thick memory foam mattress. and the outer layer is not slippery....hope that helps

I am a bigger guy and I think having the plywood will help. The mattress has gotten some holes from where the flimsy wires broke. As for the sliding, mine already does it, so having plywood won't make a difference. I plan on getting a piece soon to see how it works.

Not adjustable, and the bed may slide around on a wood floor. That problem can be addressed by placing underneath the guides the sort of floor protectors people often use underneath the legs of heavy furniture: often round and made of brown rubber, perhaps an inch to an inch and a half in diameter.

My experience is the weight of the mattress will cause it to flatten out a bit, so once you place the mattress you won't see that much space between the mattress and the metal. Also the slat's are not slippery at all, it is uncoated natural wood, so this causes a bit of grip against the fabric bottom of the mattress, so it won't slide off easily. The mattress will feel as securely placed as any other frame.

There is slack of material on my bed, so it is not necessarily a tight fit on a regular height mattress. I have not had an issue of it slipping off my bed. Unless the protector is plastic that you would put this over, you should be fine.

Yes, my futon mattress slides forward all the time if I have it in couch mode, but is mainly used as a spare bed, works great for that. If you want to keep it in couch mode all the time, I would suggest getting some sort of non-slip mat or non-slip material to put under futon, that might hold it in place or some wood pieces at each end to hold ends of futon to keep from moving forward. Good Luck. I am going to try some non-slip material when in couch mode, I'll see what happens
