Is the hard board going to work with the Kendall crib by Pottery Barn? the mattress' frame is not solid, is open (wires).

Our mattress frame is not from the pottery barn but it is all wires, the only solid is the frame of the crib. What the mattress sits on is basically a metal lattice that is springy. I think that is pretty common for cribs. So the hard board will work. But we realized after purchasing the hard board anything stiff would have worked in its place. But regardless of if you choose to user the hard board or a piece of plywood or something similar I definatley recommend the monitor. Its been a lifesaver. Our little one never slept well on his back. He loves his tummy and now that he can turn over he moves to his stomach in the night. The monitor lets us sleep soundly knowing we will know if he isnt breathing. Our mattress frame is not from the pottery barn but it is all wires, the only solid is the frame of the crib.

We used a piece of backer board underneath it. Just a piece about 2 ft by 3 ft not the whole mattress size. I think it's a greal product and have actually given 2 as baby shower gifts also.

You could get a bumper and then slide it down into the crack. If that doesn't work them return the mattress and measure the crib and get a different mattress.

I had trouble with the horizonal bar area. We only had one mattress on our platform bed.It didn't require a box spring. Look at the picture closely and that mattress comes up to the horizontal bar _ we had about a 3 inch gap, my pillow would slide right out the back.I really do like the frame. I taped some heavy foam board to the back and we're OK now.I don't think the up right bars will be a problem.

I have two queen size beds. On is the tradional metal frame with a bar in the middle. And I have a wooden bred frame with a bar in the middle also. I have added a bunny board to each bed. On bed has a box springs as well and one doesn't. It works either way and the back support feeling is great. I have no additional bars or internal legs in the frame. If you do it's fine also. The addition and use of the bunny board is the best thing I could do since I have had back surgery and still have a very bad back. It works great and I get a good nights sleep. Go for the bunky bed boards!!

If the mattress was just recently opened, it may just need a little more time to take shape. There is only about 4" difference LxW so it does look square. We placed ours with the zipper pull at the headboard and it fits perfectly.

no i am sorry that i can't help you. i purchased the bed frame and sent it right back because it was not heavy-duty like it claimed. i put it together and added a full size bed to it and i felt like it was about to collapse inward. just my opinion though. when it says heavy duty i don't expect wal-mart brand.

My mattress is tight too...but it does fit. All mattresses for cribs are tight so the baby doesn't get stuck in the gap. If the mattress is the same dimensions as the crib is ....it should be fine. I don't remember which mattress I ordered but it was for a mini crib since the directions stated NOT to use a full thickness.

The mattress is too small I meant. It is made for the wooden type portable cribs. I tried it in several pack and plays and it didn't fit it any of them.

Yes it will turn into a head-board & foot-board. Go to this site & as you read down there is a PDF that you can download which will show how the side slats are put on the crib. http://www.davincibaby.com/twin-full-size-conversion-kit-anastasia. We equally bought a separate mattress that was really nice.

The mattress itself has a hard board on the bottom side. (Top side is quilted as pictured).

We used the slates the bed comes with. We did not purchase a bunkie board but twin size should work the bed is a standard twin.

We already have a Bunkie board - will that do instead of a box spring? Trying to save money.

We tried two different mattresses, standard crib size. After the second one sagged immediately we looked at the support under the mattress, and it had bent so any mattress is going to sag.I wouldn't recommend you buy this crib! We are going to return it.

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

I just received mine and no backboard. Funny thing is I ordered mine through seller "Home and Living" but packing slip said "OJ commerce", which is another seller of this same nightstand.

Sorry not sure. I think most cribs are a standard size? But not sure. Sorry wish I was more help. Check dimensions of a pottery barn mattress & compare.
