We don't have a box spring, the mattress rests on slabs which are 4 and 1/2 inches below the side boards, will this work?

I don't think it would work with the mattress below the side boards. This item needs to be between the mattress and box spring.

It depends on whether you have enough room between the mattress snd side boards to accomodate the metal brackets (for the handle). Usually mattreses have a little give so tjis may work. I hope that helps

As long as you have a foundation. This is not a platform bed, the slats are made to support a boxspring, not act as one.

I bought a double or full-size mattress and supported it with plywood without a box spring. The mattress alone is just as thick as my old mattress and box spring combined. I use my same fitted sheets, and they fit okay. The bottom fitted sheet works okay, but it doesn't tuck underneath the mattress.

The slats are wide apart. So I bought a compressed board at lowes for $20, had it cut to fit the gaps and put mattress on it. It saves the extra height of the box springs

You should be okay but call the vendor to be sure. I also have mine on 1x4 pine slats with 2" or so spaces in between the boards. I am sure you don't need a box spring though. The bed is absolutely fantastic!

My estimate is ~6 inches of clearance underneath, but you'd need to lift the bed in order to store anything. Add an inch to that to get the height of the base that your box spring will sit. When the bed is "on all fours" there may be an inch of clearance max to slide anything underneath. If the bed is sitting on a hard surface, you might be able to add a half inch to that. Of note, you MUST use a box spring to support the mattress. Otherwise, you're wasting money. I continue to be very happy with my purchase. Hope this helps!

I don't know if the weight of a box spring, plus a mattress, might be too much for the wood cross pieces that make up the support of the platform style mattress which has only mattress padding on one side, with the other having a wood frame surrounding the underside. You would have to see it to determine.

As long as you can push the bar between the mattress and hard composite piece it should work. The other issue might be the distance from the floor to the middle of the composite and mattress, the bars have to be able to adjust to that height. (In my case it was too high). A lower one should work

Not the metal adjustable sqaure frames, but with any platorm frame it would work. no box spring needed. We have ours on the floor bc we have a very active todler and it works fine like that too!

The mattress thickness won't make any difference - it will just stand up a little higher, but it should work fine. The biggest issue is being able to secure it to the "frame" of the bed. We ran the straps around the box springs, under the mattress, but you would need to run them around the upper bed frame, since it's just a thin mattress I'm assuming, and no box springs. Depending on the bed and where you want to put the rail, it could be done. It's quite easy to install.

I bought this for an old wooden bed that used slats. They were lost, so I bought wider wood ( 6 ", I think) from Menards and used more pieces so that they were closer together and worked pretty much like a platform. No box spring. Enjoy your mattress!

As long as it is sturdy, it should work. *Just MAKE SURE it is level and supported in the middle.* Our foundation on our king size bed did not have any supports in the middle, just the sides. After a week, it was sagging and my back was killing me. We put some supporting blocks on the middle beam and it's been fine since. The mattress is much heavier than you might think.

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

The frame collapses and is two independent pieces that are placed next to eachother so it would definitely depend on what you used as a riser. there are 8 points of contact with the ground so to be safe, you'd likely need solid platforms or risers to make it work. Also, the frame itself is oversized so the risers would probably extend out below the mattress

Yeah, it could, but the box spring would sit very high on the frame. I think the "floor of the frame is only about 3-4 inches below the side rail.

No a box spring won't work, their are two middle bars already to hold mattress

Yes, it would work fine. You only need the box spring with this mattress if you have one of the old style metal frames that only goes around the outside of the box spring.
