I have an air matterss on top of a wood platform, Will I be able to secure this rail so that it will be stable?

It has straps. My mom has a hospital type bed. I attached to the frame and it is fairly sturdy, as long as you can get the strap tight. If you have a wood platform, you might consider using screws to help secure it. Hope that helps.

I would say no unless the wood platform is on top of a bed frame that has something to secure the strap to. Not sure an air mattress would have enough weight to hold the Bed Rail in place as the strap passes between the mattress and box spring and attaches to a bed rail. Something must secure the Bed Rail from moving when the patient tries to pull himself up.

I don't think this will work for you, Patricia. The manufacturer says it won't work with lightweight foam mattresses so I doubt an air mattress would have enough weight to hold it in place and it would be dangerous.

it really takes a bed frame to hold it securely and even then it will be slightly wobbly. It does work though attached to the bed frame. Don't think it will work with the plywood.

Patricia, I doubt the air mattress is firm enough. I have a 10" deep, firm [Tempur Pedic] mattress on top of a box spring that is at least 8" deep. They sit on a solid plywood base. The bed rail fits between the box spring and mattress, giving it lots of stability. Sorry.

I secured my mother's to the boxspring below her twin mattress...so it depends on the sturdiness and design of the wood platform, I suppose--there is quite a bit strap(s) to work with but I don't know the measurements of your platform. The best I can do is have you compare to a twin size boxspring. The product is very well made, by the way.

I am skeptical that you would be able to do so safely. You really need some weight on top of it to help hold it in place besides just securing it with the strap to the frame, or in your case, to the platform. Just my opinion, have not actually tried this with an air mattress. Hope this helps.

Yes, if the ground it's on is stable. Since it's wood I wouldn't recommend using it in inclement weather.

I would double it to be safe. I folded mine over an iron rail and secured it with plastic ties every other rail. Works great! It's very sturdy so they can't push through it

no it mounts to any standard rail system. if u want it to sit up higher for some reason u might get something but ive never seen anyone do that. should be good just to mount it right on.

I suppose you could hold onto the top rail, although I don't know why you would want to. Yes, it is very secure even though lightweight, very well built.

The raised walls of the rails are about an inch high, if that. So they may not be deep enough to hold something in when installed vertically.

You should be fine with that set up depending on the position it's mounted on the rail.

Yes it should work. I used it on my wooden railing. What I did was drill holes it the plastic and used plastic ty-raps to secure it the railing.

I would suggest a purchase of the riser with the rails installed on the riser for a neater, safer installation!

Since the bracket that comes over the rail, did not come down far enough to catch under the rail, my husband flattened the bent part out and it hangs fine that way. We also secure it with zip ties just to be safe. We had a lot of trouble finding brackets to fit our vinyl covered railings.

No because the weight of the cushions would not be enough to hold the rail securely in place. It's just fabric straps that go underneath the mattress with a little hook on the end to hook it under the mattress to keep it in place.

No. This is a ramp that has a 2-3" rise on either sides. There is no way a rail can be attached: It's just too thin a material, though sturdy.

Check that its on the rails properly lock is in the open position u should be fine...

I love the mount and it can be very secure. You may have to press down hard on the turned down end of the rail to disengage the rail, and then pull the unit away along the rail.Cheers, Tom

I don't think it would be stable. I have the white plastic rail on my deck, but the rail is 3.5" wide. A perfect fit. It would probably wobble on a 2" rail. I have seen other containers that fit the 2" rail or 4". That would probably be a better choice for your rail. Hope this helped.

It will just need to have metal stakes in the ground and the arch put over the stakes to keep it in place. It would tip over otherwise, as would most arches if not secured.

Yes. The rail has movements only in one plane. You must provide the tools (ball head, pan head, etc.) to move the whole plane up, down, tilt...
