How do you keep the mattress from sliding when you raise the frame? Also how do you keep a bed skirt on the frame?

The mattress does slide all the time to the side. I don't use a bed skirt but I think if you put it on the bottom part it might work.

The beds have a metal bar at the bottom by the feet which keeps them from sliding down. However, if you don't have a bed frame you cannot keep the mattress' together and that is a nightmare to deal with. We do not use a bed skirt because we have a bed frame that covers the sides of the beds.

The bar across the end of the bed keeps the mattress from sliding down. We don't have a bed skirt but I think as long as it was the proper length it would be ok. I haven't had the problem of the mattresses sliding apart we have the Linen Spa 12" memory foam mattresses.

It really depends on the frame you use. a Frame that folds into slightly tilted up couch (like a garden swing) works best because then the weight of the mattress (its actually quite heavy) will keep it in place once folded.

If a drawer under mattress section is hard to open, your bed has not been set to square.I had 2 balky drawers & by adjusting frame, they all now glide easily.

We put the frame together and then we put mattress on it is the folding position. I believe there are written instructions for you to refer to

There are two sets of pre-drilled holes in the legs of the unit which attach to a Full or Queen frame. My bed doesn't have a normal box spring & frame assembly so I only have it against the wall with the frame & mattress holding it in place. Hope this helps. The assembly was a little confusing and the solid panel is boring so I added a decorative wood medallion to further make the frame match the furniture in the room. Good luck! It was a great value.

I have this crib and I wouldn't recommend putting a crib skirt on it. There's very little space between the platform that the mattress lies on and the crib itself.

Sorry we do not recommend sliding the bed with bed risers installed because they can flip over. You need to use bed risers that have caster wheels andare fastened to bed frame securely.

I would definitely get at least a box spring to keep your mattress clean and off the floor. If you get a frame, you will need either a box spring or boards to keep the bed flat/shapely since it does conform.

The vest way to prevent your mattress from sliding off the frame is to use a footboard.

Mine doesn't slide all over the bed frame. Perhaps because I have the bed skirt between the mattress and the frame. I received a bed skirt with mine.

I have a Tempurpedic mattress with a 3" topper for a softer feel (a lower density memory foam than the TP) and I had the same problem with the topper moving off the mattress,even with a well fitted mattress pad. Very annoying,until I bought a "no-slip/non-skid" mesh originally used under rugs on hardwood floors. This solved the problem beautifully and the topper has not moved an inch under the mattress pad since. I bought a roll of the stuff from an online futon retailer which promote it used to avoid futons sliding off the frame. Cost total was about $14 incl.shipping.

The skirt goes around the box springs with the elastic. You don't lift the mattress, you put it around the mattress and work it down to the box springs, please note, I bought this skirt for my king size bed. When it arrived and I tried to use it, it DID NOT FIT a king size bed. the elastic was spread to it's limit!!!! DON'T BUY IT FOR A KING SIZE BED!!!

I have a memory foam mattress on top of this frame without a box spring in between so the mattress does not move much at all. But even with a regular spring mattress I don't think it would slide off because the edges are a raised to prevent the mattress from moving around. Hope this helps!

Just lay the 2 tracks down under the matress on tip of the center bar and side rails built into the bedframe. It keeps the matress from caving in.

There are flexible wooden slats that go across the frame and support the mattress. Before, I had a spring mattress directly on the frame and a few of the slats would slip off repeatedly. Once I bought a new mattress w/ a box spring, I had no problems. I don't think it's required, but I personally had less issues after I used one.

It does have a lip all the way around that prevents the mattress from sliding. I love this bed frame. It looks great & has held up really well since we bought it several years ago.

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.
