How high are the hinges from the box spring? I have an antique bed with wooden rails and headboard/footboard I am trying to find folding rails for.

I put the hinges between the box spring and mattress- it worked well. The bars under are hooked tight .

Hi There, did you end up ordering these hinges? Do you by chance have the dimensions? I am wondering the same thing too... the dimensions listed doesn't seem accurate. Looks like average hinges are 2.76 in height and I am trying to confirm that before I order. If you can provide any answers, that would be very helpful. Thank you!

On mine it was roughly 5 inches at the lowest hole all assembled. Wouldn't recommend any headboard that has serious weight. The brackets also are for either headboard or footboard, so if you wanted to mount both would require two kits. Didn't find that out till I received them.

The bed in my opinion is perfect. you CAN NOT use it with a box spring otherwise you will be way way too high. the bed rail on the side to the top of the rail is about 18 to 24 inches. but the mattress sits down a few inches below that. it really is the perfect height. I am about 5 foot 11 inches and my gf is shorter and we both love it. the lights and everything are great. The ONLY prob we found but we realize it is because we have a small room. watch your knees on the end of the bed. if you have a room like in the picture your fine. but if you are at all cramped for space with the bed in there it will hurt .

I brought a box spring and my bed seats up pretty high. The box spring makes the bed look very nice and complete.

a box spring would make it really high, but I suppose you could. if you have the bed with the attachment brackets then you can attach head/foot boards to the frame.

I use a regular box spring and standard metal frame under it and have the headboard attached to the metal frame. The headboard looks great I just love it. It's slightly lighter in real life than the pictures. Amazon doesn't sell the complete bed ( the matching frame with would hide the box spring) but an easy solve was getting a tailored bed skirt. It really looks great. As far as the metal platform you're referring to I'd assume as long as there is somewhere on the bed to attach the headboard to it should work. But I think just a standard box spring frame would be all that's needed. I hope that was helpful.

These bed rails are designed for hook-on connections, so no hardware is necessary. To use these, you should have hook-in slots in both your headboard and footboard, and inside those slots should be two metal pins which are approximately two inches apart on centers.If you need a frame which has bolts going through the frame and through the headboard/footboard which are either 2-1/2" or 4" apart, you'll want to search for Bolt-On bed frames, not Hook-On.If you need help picking the best frame for your needs, call us at 1-800-823-4233.

I have a metal frame for my boxspring and mattress. There are screws that come with the headboard, and they easily fit into the predrilled ones on your bed frame. The headboard has also got predrilled holes. I screwed them together before I put the uooer part of the headboard on so I could easily align the holes. Just make sure to read directions carefully before starting.

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

I just went under the bed skirt to look at them more closely. The problem is that the top of the riser as a small lip in an "L" shape at two opposite corners. Those lips are not going to allow you set the box spring evenly on them and provide maximum stability. So, upon second inspection, I don't think it will work for your application.

The frame is only a little over a foot high, so if you use a box spring it won't make the bed too tall. However, the bed might become really firm. (Just my guess.)

Our bed is very high so the headboard does look low with our bed. Don't know what the height is but we put small blocks under ours to lift it up a bit.

I used a box spring for this. If you choose not to use a box spring, you would need to get something to support the mattress. Also, in my opinion, the headboard/footboard would look too high because the mattress would be so low. Hope this helps!

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.

I already had a box springs and mattress, so used that. There are four 2x6 slates that run the width of the bed, but they are VERY rough wood. I think plywood and a mattress would work fine. I really like the looks of the bed, but wish I had the extra side rail for added stability (didn't know it was an option until I got the bed and instructions).
