How do you attach the footboard to the fram when the frame doesn't reach the end of the mattress. There is nothing to attach the brackets to ??

The idea of these adapters are to use a "standard" mattress frame (With Wheels) to attach a head board that originally came with Bed Rails that attached to the headboard and foot board to support the mattress. Modern bed frames with their own support Legs or wheels do not accommodate foot boards. To use both the head board and foot board, you need Bed "Rails" that attach to the headboard and foot board with "Slats" (boards between the rails) to support the mattress.

Not sure...you probably have to adapt the frame (add something to it) -- maybe buy an old antique frame on Craigslist and take the piece from it that headboards attach to? There are often frames like that for about $50 or so...just a thought. Good luck with your project!!!!

It has to accommodate a foot board..I had also purchased the extenders because my bed from didn't.. and the extenders don't fit quit right..the space between the bolts to attach it is about 4" more or less and the extenders I got only accommodated about 3"...haven't had time to find different ones yet so the footboard is looser than I like.

I don't think the brackets are long enough to provide the needed support. I have two beds with these and one I used a 2x6 and the other a 2x8. Found them at Menards if that helps!

If you have a frame that has the capability to attach a footboard, you will not need this. Many frames are for headboards only; thus, requiring the attachment kit.

The frame is VERY short. Does not extend anywhere near the end of the bed. Use of a footboard is IMPOSSIBLE. This frame is VERY annoying to me. The floor supports are too far back and if you sit on the edge of the bed, the entire bed tips up.

We attached a headboard, but not a footboard. My husband said you could do it. He also said that you may have to buy adapter plates to allow the pieces to fit, which we did. We had to buy these separately. Hope this helps.

YES - if your goal is to attach a headboard / footboard to the frame. Be sure the frame is long enough - otherwise you may need a frame extender for the actual frame (which turned out to be my inability to use this part)

No, it doesn't. I don't use a footboard and the box spring and mattress fit perfectly on this frame.

It appears that there are slots that could accommodate attaching a headboard and footboard. However, I'm not sure if you'd need a broader surface to hold it sturdily. I found this on Amazon which may of help if more structure is needed:Platform Frame Brackets for Headboard and Footboard (Set of 2) by Eco-Lux

You will need to buy the attachments for the head & foot board - they do NOT come with this frame.If you use a box-spring, your bed will be very high.

hi, the 4 ends stick out a good foot from each side. Not a problem as this only weighs 10 pounds and can be pushed in (bent to touch the side of a queen bed. Thats what I did. There is no way to bolt the foot board to a bed frame so beware. 410 761 3366 glenn

Hi Patricia! We bought this for my daughter and she doesn't even have a head or footboard! We just used a regular bed frame to put it on and it worked great! she LOVES this bed!

The frame lifts the mattress 12" off the ground. My problem was that I wanted to keep the box spring and the mattress on the bed. The combination made the bed even higher when assembled. I either have to discard the box spring or find one that is smaller if possible. Right now it reminds me of the "Princess and the Pea"

Yes. My husband attached our current headboard and footboard to this. We decided to use only the mattress with this frame because it was too high up with the box spring but you can try.

Ok, if by frame you mean headboard and foot board and side railings but nothing else then you can simply open this structure and put it inside that arrangement as you would any other box spring. You don't have to do anything else, just put the mattress above it and you are good to go.

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.

The corners of the metal frame that the mattress sits on has holes and corresponding hardware to attach a headboard and footboard to. You might not be able to use the sides you bought. The height of the mattress on top of the metal frame stands roughly 26 inches from the floor. Hope that helps. We love the mattress.
