how does it stay in position and can it be removed and later reused?

You aim the two box springs in one direction and the twin mattresses in the other to form a 90 degree angle. That keeps the mattresses from shifting apart. (I have not used this product, but that's how we've always converted twins into a king at rental cottages.)

It just lies over (and into) the gap. Which is part of the problem. There really is no way to keep the mattresses from shifting. Yes, you can remove and reuse the product.

I think there is something about the material that is slip proof - have used mine for a nearly three months and it has remained in position. I covered the entire bed with a mattress topper so that may have helped and I believe you can buy a 'belt / frame' type accessory that holds both mattresses if they are lighter and prone to slipping on the bed frame.

Honestly, I imagine that it would not stay in place by itself, maybe with a tight mattress cover over it. I bought, in addition, a converter kit that has a strap which holds the twin mattresses together and that includes a piece which keeps this bridge in place. I didn't leave it to chance; I never used this alone. But I cannot imagine that this would stay in place by itself.

The foam bridge's texture keeps it in place. You can remove it as well. We use a topper that also helps keep it in place and helps hide the seam and works great with no problems. We tried the straps around both mattress to keep them from separating and it worked fine but find it's not necessary if your box springs are solid or stiff.

We keep ours stored 'this way' in the bathroom... it slightly is leaning between the wall and a cabinet. This also keeps it stationary and from tipping over... so far this way hasn't been a problem.

I have not removed it. I am certain that it is removable. It would not be re-usable.

No, once it's in place you can leave it there. The only time I removed mine was to use it in a rental car while on vacation. Warning - don't leave it in the rental car like I did.

It is able to be removed and replaced frequently, but the suction cup is also sticky. If you put it into the glove box, make sure it won't come into contact with too much dirt or dust, as it will stick to the suction cup (which can probably be rinsed with water if it does get dirty). Other than that, mine goes from car to car and readjusted in between and I've never had a problem.

You could reuse it, but when its only $10. or so, why would you; the nicest thing about it is the nut at the end which you can screw it off with....must buy......

It's fairly permanent once you set it up. It could be disassembled if you want to put it away for a long period of time. But then it would take about 30 minutes to reassemble.

It is not ment to be removed. But if you are handy you can open it up and replace it. I have not changed mine it seems to work just fine.

Once the cover tis attached, it would can do it take considerable effort to remove it again. If the fears is that the cover will fall off at random, I don't think this will be an issue. As that has not been my experience. Mine has stayed on firmly without any issue. I have not tried to take my own off. However it does seem to be snug once in position.

You'll have to gently twist and pull. It should come off fairly easily. It may take some wiggling back and forth, but then you should be able to twist it off.

I don't think so as to keep it in place, it has to be attached as the directions instruct you .

It does not leave behind any residue. You can peel it off and reposition it with no problem.

You can leave it in place or remove it to save for another time; it works as long as it stays intact. You will know when it doesn't work any more!

There is a suction cup and it stays in one place. No problems with it. Don't need it in the summer though.

It just pivots out of the way. Just take your thumb and slide it out of the way. I don't think it needs to be removed.

It stays in place really well. In fact, I have had to pull it up to move it.

Yeah, you have to place it so it doesn't move. Something I figured out the hard way.
