Can this bed rail be used on a platform bed?

It depends on what you are wanting it for. If you need it to support weight of someone using it to get out of bed, then it needs to be secured with the straps. There are rails that extend pretty far underneath the mattress for stability, but if one were pushing on it, it would move some if it wasn't secured with straps. The weight of the mattress also makes a difference in how secure it would be. I'm actually using mine on an upper bunk in our RV, so I cannot use the straps. However, we don't put any pressure on it.

As long as there is a hard surface between the mattress and the platform, the rail can be used. Ours is supported by the mattress and box springs as well as the weight of the user.

Yes you can use your existing headboard,foot board,and rails. Take the slats out of the middle and it will sit right down in between. It basically uses your bed as a shell around your adjustable unit.Thanks mark

Yes it can be used on a platform with slats. It's thick and doesn't sink nor sag. I have my Brentwood on a metal platform with no box spring

Im sure you could make it work. These rails have several holes where you can place a bolt. Depends on the spacing of the holes though. May not line up quite right.

No. This bed has regular side rails and 3 cross slats. It is not a platform bed.

Well! My daughter has a platform bed and am able to use it. It is easy to set up and take down in any case. Hope I was helpful.

Yes it can - but the first night we had the bed -,the rail broke in half - not a strong bed - home and living has been terrible with us and still have not received the part

Yes but you do need something like a platform bed to put it on. It won't sit in like the regular metal frame by itself that you use with a matress and a box spring.

I use mine with a platform bed, and have had no problems. We simply ensured that the rail's legs were positioned on the slats of the platform bed for complete support. The rail has never shifted once, not even when our son has been pressed tightly against it or when we change the sheets.

I think it would be fine, but I would closer to the outer edges of the platform to distribute the weight a little better. My bed is very high and it works very well. Love it

These rails are designed to work with the 6.5' beds with a toolbox, as long as it is a fleetside (not stepside) bed.Thanks!Got-Chrome888.552.4766www.got-chrome.com

Yes you can use a platform instead of a box spring but youmwill have to make the platform solid like with plywood

I have mine on a box spring but my daughter has hers on the metal frame they suggest you buy for it so I would say yes, this will work on a platform bed.

Maybe...u may have to screw holes in the platform frame...I wouldn't recommend it....

I would not suggest using on a rail that is not flat at the top. It may be unstable and tip.

Sorry for the late response, but No it will not. It comes with the hard ware to attach the matching platform bed. The one I got was wrong as well. It was a south shore same material and color but differnenter modle. Luckiest for me it was a platform so I just flanked it to the headboard. It is not attached to it in any way. You could do that. However, the metal frame may scratch the wood. It is composite board not actual wood so it scratches and chips easy.Hope this helps.

I don't see why not. It will only the length of the bed rail. If you have an extra thick mattress you may need to measure before buying.
