will it work on a bed that has a mattress without a box spring?

We did but I had to go to Home Depot and buy some 2 by 4s to put the things that go under the mattress on. It's not ideal but it's doing the trick. It would work best with a bed with a box spring.

We made it work on a day bed where there were just slats and a mattress but no box spring. We had to put a thick blanket over the slats but it still worked okay. You can still store it between the slats and mattress when not in use. Well worth it when grandchildren are visiting.

If the mattress sits down inside any sort of bed frame (meaning that the top edge of the frame comes up above the bottom edge of the mattress on the bed rail side) you will need to make some modifications before it will work. I use the bed rail on a twin bed without a box spring, but I needed to raise the mattress up to the level of the top of the frame to make it work. I did this by placing 2"x10" boards on top of the frame, and setting the mattress down on top of the boards.

As long as there is something under the mattress that the hooks can attach to

Hi Jane, I apologize but I really can't give you an accurate answer to your question just because I have never tried using the Hide Away rail without a box spring. What I can tell you is that the rail slides in and out with great ease due to the rail being between the softness and weight of the box spring and mattress. I can't imagine how it would slide easily without both. As far as sturdiness without a box spring, I can not answer that.

It fits between the box spring and the mattress. So without a box spring? I don't know, it may make it a little tricky...

Yes, it needs a box spring. There aren't enough slats on the bottom to support just a mattress.

We have purchased 4 of these for my aging parents - one of which they had delivered to a vacation home. All of the beds they used it with had a box spring so I'm not sure. I would think it would work if there was a solid surface. There are foam covered bars so that would eliminate sliding but you may want to further protect any edges if you are worried about scratches.

Yes it works. I would not use a box spring. The frame and a matress are enough and as for looks makes an appealing bed.

Yes, unless you have a bed frame that does not require a foundation or a boxsprings. For example, if you have a daybed that springs are build into the frame you will not need boxsprings or the foundation.

I think it would work on any bed with a mattress and spring, but changing the position of the bed might be a problem.

This would be a question for the manufacturer. I don't see why it would not work though because this "Beds Up" frame fits right into my metal frame and the box spring rests in the "Beds-Up" frame. So it should work for you.

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

This is for the mattress only, Box spring not needed, I put mine on a plywood platform. Bob

This does not require a box spring. It has a platform that fits under the bed frame.

Yes, we use this on an IKEA day bed with slats and two mattresses, no box spring.

It would work without one on a platform bed ... but really it is designed to be used with a box spring or some kind of foundation . I have had it for almost a year .... used my old box spring that was fine and I am quite satisfied ... you need to use a mattress cover ... would recommend a thick one ... I use one that is thick and springy ... it works great ... the mattress itself is quite thick ... feels very firm at first but overtime softens up ... it was a great buy !

I do not know; I placed mine on a regular bed; it probbaly work if the matress was flat but might jump around if the matress was raised. Sorry that I cannot be of any more help.

Probably not. Ours is on a platform frame and it's working fine. Use a box spring only if there's no support under the mattress, like with a plain metal frame.

Definitely. We originally placed the mattress on top of a platform but it was too low. This mattress works great with a box spring.

Depends on the bed frame. We use a frame with a very tight and very supportive base and a box spring was unnecessary. On my daughters old bed, the bedding was only supported via 3 skinny bars running across the bed frame. I would not use any mattress with that bed without a box spring.

Might work. Our mattress was on floor because of wife's issues. If box spring is on a standard bed frame with little casters probably ok. If mattresses are in Scandinavian style bed with a small wooden box holding mattress it will not work. I hope this helps.
