Are the metal connectors that you attach to the wooden mattress base supposed to be a little loose? The connectors don't fit snug on the mattress base

The screws which connect metal base to crib frame is supposed to fit tightly. I have tried to adjust the metal base at different levels and it fitted tightly at all levels. Are you talking about other cylindrical shape long nuts? They do seem not to be very tight when inserted in wooden holes, but when tightened with screws, they are quite snugly fit too.

It is just a little loose just enough for the sheet or even a pad to fit in with it. Nothing can slip between the mattress and the bed.

Mine doesn't slide all over bed frame. I use it every night and I have nothing between mattress and frame.

I have a Dual King adjustable bed and I have the rail set up on both sides of the one mattress. To make sure they are very stable I set the rails on both sides and then tie wrapped them together to make sure they do not move at all since my bed is adjustable. They work great!

It should be flat. I'm guessing your base isn't level; the mattress is still expanding; or perhaps it is defective but this would be a really big quality control oversight if it is a defect.Mine was misshapen until about 48 hrs after it was unpacked

This is exactly what I've done. I bought this mattress for my mother and it is exactly as you've said, there is a gap either at the top or bottom of the bed.

These worked for me going from full HB and FB with Q mattress set. There may be a little slop on the hooks? I wedged a couple vinyl strips between the hooks and frame to resolve. This was a hard to find solution so hope it works for you.

We bought the mattress pad for our guest futon which was only in use over Xmas. As I recall the connector was near the top edge of the mattress but not intruding on the top surface. Hope this is of use. P.S. the guests didn't complain!

Could be loose. Mine barely stays in. Try a different brand and see if it fixes it.

I did so, and yes it's lower, but what bugs me is the creaking noises. I never heard anything when I had a regular mattress on the box spring, but with the memory foam mattress on top, it makes loud creaking noises when I shift positions. Not always, but often. I'm thinking about putting a plywood board between the mattress and box springs.

I lifted the top mattress and put the pins in about 6" from the edge of the bottom mattress so I don't accidentally catch myself on the pins when making the bed and tucking in the sheets. They stay put!

Not in my experience. I have two and both fit snugly. I don't think it should be loose like you describe.

I have this mattress and I'm having the same problem. It scoots down so that it's drooping off the edge and the frame is exposed at the top.

There's a connection to it that is snug around ur bed. I'd say your mattress can be a little thicker than a normal mattress

sure, but this "bridge" does not prevent the mattresses from separating if the bed frames "move". This item functions as a "filler" of the gap between the 2 mattresses. ( I also bought a "strap" that wraps around the mattresses to hold them together)

I think they are making the pads (as well as fitted sheets, etc.) to pretty much fit all the extra-deep sizes of mattresses. The twin beds we have in the guest room are NOT the big, deep mattresses that are in our master bedroom. So, unless your mattresses and box springs are between 14-18" tall, your "fitted" items will probably be loose. The ones we ordered are a little loose because of that, but they seem to stay in place fairly well (we tucked the "extra" fabric in around the mattresses, and the elastic is good, so it does keep them in place). Hope this helps!

I would check the connection from the cord to the mattress. I couldn't get it to work initially, because I didn't have the cord pushed in quite far enough. You need to use a lot of force to push it in all the way.
