How is it stabilized under the mattress? Would this work in a waterbed frame that hold a regular mattress?

It has foam pads that hold it in place. I use it on an adjustable bed and it stays put.

The product stays under the mattress. You only need to put it in one time, of course if it was like mine, it kept going flat and the pump kept running after just one week of use.

If your mattress fills the cover completely, it should stay in place. Mine does.

Nothing to prevent the mattress from hanging over, imagine a metal futon frame, well made but a frame on wheels. You probably can get away with it. We use ours under my daughter's day bed for her sleep overs.

I have it on a 12 inch deep mattress - it seems very secure. The extra stretch depth just gets sucked under the mattress so it doesn't leave any slack.

As long as it can slide under the mattress you can take the legs to the floor to stabilize it. The mattress can't be too flimsy either but should be able to hold hold the horizontal bars down. You may have tot customize the legs to get the right height but they are easy to cut if needed.

yes, however I don't know if it would hold up under the thick/deep twin mattress......a regular twin, yes....

I used a regular bed frame and it works perfectly fine for me. I also used a traditional mattress without any problems. Hopefully that helps.

It stays on very well. I had an older 8" futon mattress (size = full) that stays on there great. I particularly like leaving it in the most reclined position which does not seem too reclined really. The front is angled up enough that your butt does not cause the mattress to start sliding off. Plus the wooden grooves sort of prevent it from moving. Unless you have a thin rigid mattress with a smooth cover, it should not slide off. I would think a very thick mattress and a thicker, high quality mattress cover would work especially great on this frame. The frame is very strong too.

The part that's described as a skirt (that looks like it hangs down) actually stretches down under the mattress. I'm quite happy with it as it stays put with no loose fabric hanging anywhere. Hope this helps!

The bars that connect each side of the rails latches on to the metal frame of a hospital bed to create more stability. I'm not sure if the rails will stay in place if not latched. However, if the mattress is heaven enough, it might hold the rails nicely.

I tried to put it on our king size bed. It inserts more than halfway under the mattress. Very stable. It would not adjust low enough for our bed because we have an old frame that sets low to the floor. we just cut the part that insert into the base and it was fine. I was very pleased that it was so stable.

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.

It absolutely does require a traditional waterbed frame. Without that it will rupture in a catastrophic fashion.

It works well enough. The frame I have is a tri-fold where you put 2 layers under your butt and one layer behind your back. Only problem I've had with it I've had with every futon mattress I've ever owned. It has a tendency to slide down in the back making the back shorter and the seat wider.... I fixed it easily enough by sewing tabs onto the Futon cover at the top, bottom and where I wanted it to fold up and become the back. This holds it in place well and it no longer slides down.

There are two long pieces of the tubing that go under the mattress. I think it would work in the waterbed frame with a regular mattress, but would be difficult to put the bottom sheet on the mattress.

You sink in and it holds your body in position. Not mushy at all! I absolutely love mine. I would recommend this for anyone who wants to extend the life of their mattress.
