We are planning on use thuis on a full size bed with a mattress instead of box springs so bed will not be so high for my grandson. Will this work?

I purchased with an extra thick mattress and it is working nicely. It gives the mattress support and is not too high.

as long as you have a good mattress. We had to buy a better one when we added the bunky board.

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.

It would really depend on how heavy the person using the bed is. Remember there is no box spring The mattress is held up by narrow metal slats. Certainly wouldn't let kids jump on it

you can but i wouldnt suggest it, you will hear the wood hitting the wood and its going to be to high. not good. Box springs in the cost of mattress sets are very inexpensive, maybe see if they would let you take the boxspring back possible or try it and see what you think. Those are my thoughts. Hope all this helps. If noe of this works i have hundreds of others beds for sale, hows that on our full site. 6102773747 Good luck. Linda

You really don't need a box spring I put the mattress on and it just the right height I think a boxspring would be too high for the child

Any full size mattress will fit but if you have a box spring it makes the bed higher

Yes, it will, however with the mattress already being 13 inches high its self it was way to high for us personally to be on our box springs. But if you want a super high bed the by all means, we just added extra slats to our bed frame and called it done and it works great!

If you have a platform style bed frame, you won't need box springs. If you want a taller sitting bed or are using a bed frame that is not a platform style, I would recommend having box springs! Hope this helps you out!

I own this. It only needs a mattress. In fact, the lip of the bed frame is only about two inches, so a mattress on top of a box spring would be difficult to keep steady.

It should work just fine. My daughter's crib also has a wooden platform, not springs, and this bed rail is designed specifically for these types of cribs.The rail has durable, adjustable straps that run from the rail under the mattress and to a metal disc. You place the disc upright against the opposite side of the mattress from the rail, and the mattress itself holds the rail in place. Unless your kid is strong enough to lift up his/her mattress, you shouldn't have any problems with the bedrail moving or shifting at all.

My son, at college, is using the frame as a twin bed frame only so he has not used the support legs that one needs if making a full size frame. My hunch is that after the weight of the box springs and mattress are added to the frame, the frame will "settle down" and the supports will likely touch the floor. The frame works great as a twin size and my son has had no problems.

The frame is only a little over a foot high, so if you use a box spring it won't make the bed too tall. However, the bed might become really firm. (Just my guess.)

We used it on a platform style bed (waterbed frame) and did not use a box spring. I guess it would depend on the type of frame you are using.

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.

A low profile will work better than a full size box spring. I have a full size and it is too high it covers too much of the headboard.

If the dimensions are the same, I would think so...Not sure what the difference of a "flat spring support" vs. a standard full-size mattress is. But dimension wise, it should. Also because the bed is solidly made and is a full size crib, it is capable of holding the full size mattress. Hope that helps.
