Hi, is there a limit for the height (thickness) of the mattress to be used? so that it would not slip/drop off when operating.

I personally would not go over 15in for the thicker the mattress the less angle you will get when you raise the head and foot.You dont have to worry about them sliding for they have a retainer bar at the end to keep it from sliding. We have a 13in mattress on the ergo 400 in are store and works perfectly with no issues.What kind of mattress where you wanting to put with it?

I would use the thinnest mattress you can. I have an 8" Bed in a Box. Thicker mattresses will work but don't bend as easily. If you like your feet pretty high you can feel sort of jammed in the bend. There is a retainer bar at the foot to keep the mattress from sliding down.

I have this mattress and I'm having the same problem. It scoots down so that it's drooping off the edge and the frame is exposed at the top.

There's nothing to keep the mattress from sliding off, it just sits on top of the wood. This hasn't been a problem for me until I fold it down from a sofa to a bed, the mattress slips down and I have to drag it back into place each time.

We have not noticed it slipping - but I think you can buy straps to put on the frame to stop the mattress from slipping. Maybe you could try a rug pad.

The mattress is set rather low into the crib....it could be problematic for a shorter person....unless a thick mattress is used in the crib.&#128522;

off topic a bit, but we were looking at a sleep number bed because our mattress was sagging somewhat and they claim they don't sag. Yet, I've read other reviews besides yours that after some time, they lose pressure in the hip area and then the user has to raise the sleep number setting and eventually it's at 100 and still not supporting. We liked the beds in the showroom, but this was a concern. Also that it seemed a bit high maintenance- the pumps and adjustments and their sliding scale warranty policy. thanks!

Well, it's a platform bed, so the bottom mattress lays fully on the platform and can't really slip off. I suppose the top mattress could slip...hard to say because mine is Tempurpedic and super heavy, so they don't slip at all.

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.

To be honest, the mattress that I have doesn't stay very well in sofa position. I have an older futon mattress (circa 2002)...so perhaps they've come out with mattresses that don't slide anymore? Ours has been in our storage area for the past 2 years now, serving as an area that holds my kids outgrown clothes, lol. So I don't use it much anymore. Hope this helps.

not sure, im sorry....i have a regular mattress (not sure the thickness) but there is still a bit of room that im thinking it might - sorry i couldnt be more help.

That's a good question - I suppose you could. It's worth a try:) Perhaps, without the weight of the mattress on it, it wouldn't leak so much.

unfortunately I'm unable to answer the question. I ended up throwing it in the trash and bought a different one from Costco. The mattress pad you are referring to slipped and would not stay in place. I ended up buying a mattress pad with elastic sides that hold in place.

Yes, or if you strech it on the sides, it will be move towards the bottom/under the mattress. There is no way to get around that, the top part is still good though, from my experience!

I doubt it will be a problem. The only challenge we've had is the box spring moves around a little bit (so I wouldn't recommend running and jumping onto the bed - ease onto it at first to see how much the bed moves). Some people have put down sticky mats to keep it from shifting - I've heard other have gotten rid of their box springs and when the mattress itself is on the frame, it stays put. I have both a queen frame and a full size frame. On the queen, the mattress is directly on the frame and works perfectly. We kept the box spring on the full frame and it moves around a bit - but not enough to worry us. Hope that helps! I doubt it will be a problem.

Purchased two twin mattress. i suggest not going over seven inches so the bottom mattress can slide in/out easily.

The bar across the end of the bed keeps the mattress from sliding down. We don't have a bed skirt but I think as long as it was the proper length it would be ok. I haven't had the problem of the mattresses sliding apart we have the Linen Spa 12" memory foam mattresses.

I can't imagine why it wouldn't be safe. Once the bed is is in the down position, it will stay there. When you lift the mattress platform up to put it away you have to lift it up four or five feet before the pneumatic cylinders take over and pull it the rest of the way. This is a wonderful, sturdy mechanism that is easy to use. I love my murphy bed!
