Are the metal connectors that you attach to the wooden mattress base supposed to be a little loose? The connectors don't fit snug on the mattress base

The screws which connect metal base to crib frame is supposed to fit tightly. I have tried to adjust the metal base at different levels and it fitted tightly at all levels. Are you talking about other cylindrical shape long nuts? They do seem not to be very tight when inserted in wooden holes, but when tightened with screws, they are quite snugly fit too.

I have a Dual King adjustable bed and I have the rail set up on both sides of the one mattress. To make sure they are very stable I set the rails on both sides and then tie wrapped them together to make sure they do not move at all since my bed is adjustable. They work great!

i have not had any problems with the one that I purchased; only draw back was that I thought it was going to enclose around the whole mattress but it almost does.

Yup! But I have to warn you, it's not a super snug fit on the mattress. I actually like this b/c it makes changing the sheets easier but thought you should know.

Yes, I always like to put something between the metal and the mattress. I used one of the thin pieces of foam. Works great.

Yes and no...it looked even from the top, but pulled in the sides when tightened. Over a period of time in the tightened position it might damage the mattresses.

No, they shouldn't be loose at all. The ones on mine fit snug, and I've taken it apart and rebuilt it several times. Check the orientation of the nuts and make sure you're putting them on correctly, with the "larger end" screwing onto the screw. Also, the washers prevent the bolts from being loose, make sure you are using those on every bolt. There may be a little movement after you screw them in, when you use a try to turn either side without a brace on the opposite side.

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.

Mine is not loose now, but I think it was when it came in. There are various screws, find the ones that attach the parts that are loose, and tighten them. Hope that helps,

No mine are all loose as well, and when grounds float up and on top of the insert that is also normal. The only ones I have that are snug are the screw on ones, but I like these because they have the double filter. My screw on ones do not.

I think they are making the pads (as well as fitted sheets, etc.) to pretty much fit all the extra-deep sizes of mattresses. The twin beds we have in the guest room are NOT the big, deep mattresses that are in our master bedroom. So, unless your mattresses and box springs are between 14-18" tall, your "fitted" items will probably be loose. The ones we ordered are a little loose because of that, but they seem to stay in place fairly well (we tucked the "extra" fabric in around the mattresses, and the elastic is good, so it does keep them in place). Hope this helps!

Hello Frank,The connector doesn't click in place, but the fit is usually snug. If you still see metal when you connect it, go ahead and wrap it in electrical tape.Nathanielwww.FortressSecurityStore.com

At least 10 inches, as mine is, and it's still a little loose. I'd say they were designed to fit 12 inch mattresses.

The elastic does not go all the way around; it's just at the corners. It stays on the mattress very well.

A big dip DID develop in the middle, but I had the person who helped me assemble this over and we figured out what we did wrong. We only put the cover over the MATTRESS and it should go over the metal below, if that makes sense. We fixed it two months ago and it is staying put. Haven't noticed one side being firmer than the other--they are both the same. I can see where, over time, the side that you actually sit on as a couch getting worn out and less firm, but this hasn't happened yet.

Should be fine. Since you can't put the straps around the base, simply wrap it around the mattress instead. Or strap it around the slats as others have suggested.

Yes ours is a basic metal frame we bought with the mattress and it connected fine.
