Do you have to lift the mattress to put this on?

No the dust ruffle stretches on the outside of the mattress. It is easy to put on and looks great. I love mine and am so happy that I bought it.

yes you have to take the mattress off and this goes on the box springs I did not use mine because I have a water bed.

Yes, you just don't have as much above the mattress. I needed some thing to hold onto for support as I got in bed. It wa perfect for that. Hope this helped.

Yes, I just have the mattress on the floor without any box spring and it is very comfortable. I imagine it might be a bit more comfy when placed on a box spring, however, you don't need one.

No, not unless you put a piece of plywood on it first. Also, without a box spring your mattress would be really close to the floor.

yes i bought one for my grandson along with a metal frame (not the typical type) and all you have to do is put the frame together and if you choose, add a bed skirt and then just put the mattress on top. the frame acts like the box spring in that set up. hope this helps

not at all, you have to unfold then fold down the bottom that is one piece, the size of the crib opening and then then the mattress goes on top of it I have my grandson visiting every weekend till they move here next month and at 2 he has never even attempted to climb out of it like he does at the one at his home. Best investment I ever made. Well worth the price. Love it.

No, it only lifts the mattress a few inches, that is nit enough to "sit up".

Yes it does, but I do not use it as the design of the product is enough so that the weight of the mattress holds the frame/assist securely in place.

When the mattress arrived, it was rolled up. Since then, we placed on a bed. So while we have not tried, if it was originally rolled up, it may be possible to do so again but definitely not easy.

It's not necessary, but you could ... just make sure the box spring has a structure of supports that are pretty close together so you don't end up with sagging sections. Remember, the foam mattress doesn't have as strong a "frame" to keep it from drooping in between slats. It works best on a platform frame -- try searching Amazon.com for "platform bed frame" to see a good idea of the support it should have. I have a queen-size Sleep Master metal bed frame foundation that works great (I just bought 12 risers to raise it up another few inches). Hope that helps!

No it is a flat mattress. One would have to obtain a bedframe that would raise or lower.

If you want it to put on once, I would say yes. It will be tight so if you want to take it on and off I would choose something else. The material is very thick compared with the mattresses zip around a we have on our bed. I hope that helps.

No. It's made to split the mattress from the box spring. That area needs to be expised. Sorry But you would be digging I think.

No, the rail does not lift the mattress on any side. Its convenient and when not in use it folds down at the side and is barely visible. Hope my answer helps.

No, but it has a bubble wrap bag to put it in so it doesn't hurt the mattress surface. And it fits in the storage bag easily.

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!
