The only one is a Babies R Us exclusive but it has been discontinued and replaced with one that claims to be "tall" but isn't tall enough. :(

I have seen one that is 24 inches tall on Summer Infant's website but can't find it available anywhere for purchase

I see this is an older post with no comments...did you ever find a suitable bedrail? I also have a Stearns and Foster and am worried about finding an adequate rail. Any suggestions?

No I never did find anything. Seems strange that no companies have developed a rail for this case. Let me know if you have better luck!

we got a bunky board which was suggested since we were going to use bed rails and a box spring would have been too thick. For a child you don't need the box spring but for an adult I would suggest it. I love this bed. I have 2 daughters and we got the first bed for our oldest when she was out of the crib and now that our second daughter is out of the crib we got another of the exact bed. We did spend a bit more on good mattresses but they both love their beds.

The support rails are wood, and unfortunately, not very sturdy; if the company had only used a true 2x4 it would have been strong enough, but they used two 1x2s which are just not strong enough -- my wife and I (350#together) felt the bed sagging the 1st night. For our king size bed, I added several slats, and had to put support posts under both support rails. Plus King size mattress warranties require a 5th foot, which this bed does not come with. I really like the bed, but one should be prepared to add their own supports once it arrives.

I contacted Tuft & Needle about the bed frame displayed on their website to see if it was available for purchase. Kelly responded and advised that the frame was a prototype and not available at this time. She gave me the web addresses to couple of companies that make similar frames: haikudesigns.com and tatamiroom.com. The frames from those two companies were out of my price range, but they all look very nice. I found a basic solid mahogany platform bed frame from the Charles P. Rogers website that I am going to buy. I've never heard of the company, but all the reviews mention that their product is very high quality. This is the bed frame I am going to purchase: http://www.charlesprogers.com/solide-platform-bed-p-392.html?cPath=31_155 One thing I like about this frame is that the platform is level with the frame and appears to be some kind of upholstered deck instead of wooden slats.

I'm confused how this would fit inside an existing king bed frame. Mine has center legs (which all king frames should)--and so does this product--so that wouldn't work, right?. I'm buying a new mattress but don't want a new boxspring. I already have the headboard and frame.

I am extremely happy with my purchase. I was worried at first but so far I am glad I took the chance. This is by far the best mattress I have owned. I have tried Ikea, Simmons, Beautyrest, etc. I did build my own box spring and put in extra support. I believe that helps also. I cant speak for the bed you are talking about but I have purchased a few Ikea beds and all have been slated bed base which didnt provide enough support for my back. All I can do is vouch for the mattress. It is excellent but I suppose that if it doesnt have a good platform to be on it will probably give.

Think thin. You need a bunky board underneath the mattress and if the mattress is too thick it will be above the rail and therefore unsafe.

Hello, I KNOW your situation regarding the bed rails. I had to find a Coaster Furniture dealer to order just the rails to that particular bed for me. Now it's all good to go!

Does anyone out there have a picture of a king size frame without the mattress? Would like to see the construction. Like, does it have a center rail to keep the slats from sagging? Is the main frame 2X4 construction or 1X4? And are the slats 1X4's?

Hi Alina, Thanks for your interest in the Drive Medical Home Bed Assist Rail. The height of this bed assist rail would depend on how high off the ground your current bed is. The safety straps that go around either the mattress or box spring ensure that it will not fall off. It also can be used with any type of mattress.

The two beds do come apart to be used as individual twin beds, the only catch is the top bunk foot board will have a hole where the entryway for the stairs is. You can simply cover up this area with a quilt of some sort if it is an eye sore. Upon inspection you can take the rails off the sides with the allen wrench so it looks like a regular twin bed. I also went to the the Bedz King website just to verify this so the answer about removing guardrails from top bunk is yes.

Hi Kate. I am sorry that I do not have an answer for you. I am not familiar with extra long twin mattresses. Maybe you can contact the salespeople who are selling the product. Hopefully they will have an answer for you.

I have two queen size beds. On is the tradional metal frame with a bar in the middle. And I have a wooden bred frame with a bar in the middle also. I have added a bunny board to each bed. On bed has a box springs as well and one doesn't. It works either way and the back support feeling is great. I have no additional bars or internal legs in the frame. If you do it's fine also. The addition and use of the bunny board is the best thing I could do since I have had back surgery and still have a very bad back. It works great and I get a good nights sleep. Go for the bunky bed boards!!

For sure not. We have a regular size and it is about 3/4 an inch too long. The regular size mattress is slightly elevated higher at the head than the rest of the mattress. It sits up on the edge about an inch and a half higher. Also your extra long mattress will hang over the edge making it difficult and unsafe to climb up and over into the bed. The railing won't fit either.

I used two separate twin bed frames but just used the SGT Knots on the mattresses not the box springs. It really works great when you add the pad that goes on top of the mattresses so you can't feel where they are joined together. It should work just the same with a king-size bed frame too.

No you don't, I just converted my old bed frame(wooden) into a platform bed. It just needs to be flat and solid. I think they sell some already made on here I think they are called mattress foundations that fit in your bed frame. Hope this helps and would be happy to answer anything else if I can.

I had the same situation and it worked out. There's a few things to consider... the hooks on the ends must match firstly, which is hard to calculate unless you know what the prior ones looked like. There's a good change they WILL work, because they were somewhat common across beds, but there are exceptions. The length is a 'standard' length - so the basic question to find out is... will the hooks properly hook into your headboard and footboard. If you DON'T have the originals, find the cheapest set of adapter hooks (not the bars, just hooks) that appear to match those on these rails, order them, and if they fit, return them and order these bars. Secondly, make sure that you have a normal length mattress. That would be likely unless your mattress/box spring themselves were antiques and well... who would like that? ;)
