We had to cut our full box spring in half to get it upstairs in our old house. Will this solve that problem?

Yes this matress ships rolled up like a big jelly roll. Its kind of heavy for one person but with two it will be easy. The box spring arrives folded up. I didn't measure it but I would bet it was 4 feet by 4 feet by about 4 inches thick. It is made of metal but is not too heavy. When you unpack the mattress let it breath for a while, like half a day or what ever the instructions say, it puffs up. If you have any more questions let me know.

If I'm understanding your question correctly, yes. This box spring is really a metal frame that is delivered folded and collapsed (so it's less than half the size of a box spring) that you expand to full size and lock into place. It's sturdier than a box spring because it's all sturdy metal. I've had mine now almost a year, sleep on it every night, and the mattress and box spring still show no signs of sagging or wear. I just love mine.

Yes! This bed is an engineering miracle. Comes in a small box and unfurls to a full size mattress that is extremely comfortable and looks and feels like any you'd buy at a mattress store! The box spring is ingenious! It is metal and comes folded and collapsed in half. You think there is no way it could be a box spring then the you unfold it and it pops up into a full box spring just like any other. We didn't believe it either - until we saw it! Now we own a full and a queen. Love it and it was very easy to bring upstairs and unpack.

Yes box spring is compact and comes in two separate and folded parts. The whole package while heavy is easily carried upstairs.

This will definitely help you out. When the box arrived I thought I had received the wrong product because the box was so narrow. It was easy to move around in to place and set up was easy. It is sturdy and very quiet, no sqeaks like the box spring it replaced. I was afraid to order the mattress and box spring on line but I am so glad that I did, saved money and the products are great!

I would say probably not due to the height of this unless you have a large fireplace or you cut down the legs to accommodate it.

Not going to happen unless you cut it. It has a minimum 6' squish. It is made for floor to ceiling use. Didn't know that when I ordered so we ended up cutting ours down.

We did, it worked well! But friends of ours who had a fairly older home went right through their sub floor. I think if you are careful should be fine!

Yes. You will need to remove the upper portion of support column and substitute the supposed extension piece. I have mine mounted in a 5'6" tall location. You will not find this modification in any Simple Human instruction. I made no permanent modification to unit. The spring will not compress enough! Don't even try!! If you start cutting it with a hack saw, you will certainly void warranty and most likely destroy the unit. Again, no permanent modification required! I still have original upper arm in case I ever want to move the location of unit. I figure this thing is going to last for years! Yes.

slide the metal pieces between the box spring and mattress, then secure to the opposite side of the bed. It'll be fine

Yes. if you follow the instructions and cut in half, you will have approx. 4 inches remaining from each 'half' after doing the top and bottom.

Yes. I cut it with a box cutter after it was installed, trimmed off the excess. It was not hard.

We put a sheet of plywood over our existing box springs and it's worked beautifully. You definitely need to support the mattress.

I had the same problem. I had a friend with a saw help me trim 3/4 inch from the bottom of the closet and main doors. It sounds like a big deal but really isn't. It only took about 20 min. Now I can put about any rug down in the future without ever having the problem again. All of the other doors in the house were trimmed when carpet was put down.

Not necessary, only if you have low ceilings. It will reduce the height by several inches.

yes, half way up it is split in two. You have to screw small metal plates to the back to secure them.

I have found that even if the hook of the spring doesn't provide enough tension, you can always just use a spring coil further down. I've had to do that many times on a basement remodel.

I'm not sure about the split-box spring. We used this convertor to place a queen mattress/box spring on an antique bed frame that would normally accommodate a full size mattress/box spring set.

Straitening the entire length of your gate should fix your problem. Works for me.

I had to mount it to the wall after moving and having our doors too tall. So I went to Home Depot and asked if they could cut off the hooks for me and they sent me to the rent tools/machinery counter and they cut it for free. It wasn't a smooth cut though, so if it was me, I would just buy one that could mount instead of all the trouble.

If you are worried about the joist splitting, you should predrill the holes for the screws ...which you should do anyway. It makes the screws or bolts go in much easier.
