Will these rails support the weight of a 200 lb adult sleeping in the twin bed?

These should work fine for most Twin beds with an adult sleeping on them. Keep in mind that the bed is ultimately being supported by your headboard and footboard when using these rails. Also, if you expect the bed to need additional support (for example: a large dog shares the bed with you, or there will be quite a bit of movement during the night) you may want to add some slats with legs (like the Bed Claw Unibody Legs, for example) to help support your box spring.

Absolutely! My rails are being used by a person weighing over 300 pounds with no problem at all. The most important question is how strong and solid are your bed frame and the slats. If your frame is designed to support an adult (not just a youth or teen), you should be fine. Upgrading the slats also adds strength and stability. We use six 1"x6" red oak slats cut to a width that fits snugly between the rails to minimize shifting with body movement. The bed frame will fail long before the rails would.

I weigh about 170 lbs and have stood on mine a few times climbing up to the drop down bed in my toy hauler. I have them mounted on a table that I made that's attached to the wall with a removable hinge and the table is supported with 4 of these. SO... I'd feel good about saying that they will support at a minimum of 50 lbs each. Just MY opinion and NOT an official recommendation by any means.

I'm not sure but we have had someone over 250lbs sleeping on ours and it holds them fine.

1. My daughter's is a twin and I think it might hold 150-200 lbs. but I wouldn't want to try it long term. One of the notches that holds the slats recently broke and it didn't look like much was holding it in place.2. There is about two inches between the top of the slat and the top edge of the bed though so a thin piece of plywood would fit.

Agree with other answers. We have a simple foam mattress and it is supported perfectly. Can take grown up weight.

My best suggestion is to measure width wise between the rails and have some 2X2's cut to fit between the rails. This will support the mattress frame - you are using a mattress frame, right? The mattress itself will always fall through - the wood could help. Lydia

I doubt it. The rail system need he weight of the mattress to keep it firm and stable. We found it best to have the rail up near the head of the bed. It seems it would be awkward to have it set at the foot end side.

I weigh 200 lbs and they do ok for me but I don't think they could handle very much more than that.hope this helps

I believe so. We picked this bed rail because of the large 'bunky board' styling and the fact that the rails didn't go to the floor. The body weight anchors the handrail when in use. Ours is used under a top mattress only, not under a box spring, and it is fine with a 200 pound patient. It was super easy to put in place, too.

I'm really not sure but both my husband and I are very close to 200 pounds and use them with ease. They are very sturdy!

this bed is VERY sturdy!! I would guess 2 adults at average weight of 180-250 lbs each.... will be fine. The frame on this bed (platform) is spaced very close together.

Yes, I am about 200lbs, and it does support me pretty well. The mattress is very thick foam.

If you mean rails that go across underneath the mattress, then yes. If you mean a guard rail that keeps kids from falling out of bed, then no.

The rails seem to work fine. No wobblying. My bed was so low that I couldn't use the crossbrace with the feet so we just put a board between the rails to support the center of the box spring.

Depends on size of person and mobility. Don't want anyone falling out of bed. I bought a shorter rail (not this particular one) for my mom. She sleeps on one side of a double bed and only uses that side to get in and out.

I really would not. These are for more for stationary items. Even then, our bed seems a little unstable, but that is due to how high up these put our bed. If you put them on a glider I can only imgine the rocking back and forth force, will cause the whole thing to topple over.

Tim, it is quite sturdy; the slats are a full 3/4" thick. I don't know what the limit would be, but I'm sure it would hold 2 adults at 250 lbs each.
