I have a teak platform bed w/o a box spring. The mattress sits tightly into the frame w/no handroom on the sides. Will the BedCane work?

Not sure I understand the ?....Do you mean no handroom to grasp the handle?....As long as theres a "platform" for the unit to lay flat on the mattress to fit on top, sure be ok. You might, however, visit a local medical supply store that those sorts of devices to see, or contact the manuf.

I have this attached to the mattress and sitting on the box spring. In other words the cord is wrapped around the mattress instead of box spring as illustrated in assembly directions. The board sits between the mattress and box spring. Does that help?

I am guessing that it would not. the wood platform sitting on your wood base might be slippery and could scratch your base. the strap will exit the other side and needs a frame of some sort to wrap around and tighten/pull against. I found the Stander BedCane a good idea but not so well designed. Hope this helps.

Actually an extension of this question. I have a situation where the bottom of the top mattress sits below the outside rails. But I do have about 1.25" space between the mattress and the frame. How far out does the handle sit from the edge of the mattress? Would it be further than the 1.25" clearance that I have?

I don't think so. It has to either come straight out under the mattress or have room between the mattress and a frame. It sounds like that is not the case for your bed. There are other options that attach differently.

Probably not. Ours is on a platform frame and it's working fine. Use a box spring only if there's no support under the mattress, like with a plain metal frame.

If the platform bed has a solid wood surface for the mattress it will perform the best for you. If the bed frame had wide spaced slats or rails, buy some plywood to use as a base under the mattress. Platform beds with very close spaced slats should work well with this mattress.

Hello Kay,Unfortunately the BedCane could not be properly installed on a water bed. It is made to slip between a mattress and box spring. It also has a strap that needs to go underneath the mattress to the other side and buckle. Another solution for you would be to look at our Security Pole and Curve Grab Bar and install it next to your water bed. This would give you a solid handle to help you enter or exit a bed. If you have any questions call us at 1-800-506-9901 or email me directly at kylej@stander.com.

Depends on the rail I think. Side rails usually have straps that slide under the mattress. Some wrap around the box spring but others have a 'catch' (on the other side of the bed) at the end of the strap. I would think it could be worked out. In fact, I tend to think even the ones that wrap around the box spring could wrap around the platform portion of the bed in the same way

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.

Larrydude,This ACTS as a bed spring/box spring.As for if it can fit into your bed frame, I don't know. You'd have to compare dimensions.

I would say not, it will make it too hight and not stable for box spring and mattress on it. I think this tine is intend to use instead of box spring. That just my opinion

Ideally the rail should fasten with the belt around the boxspring with the mattress on top. I agree that it is not tall enough to go below a mattress and a boxspring. I have not tried to use this product without the boxspring. It seems plausible that it would function with a mattress on top of the bed frame. My primary concern would be the stability of the belt fastened around a bed frame. I'm afraid too much pressure would be placed upon the belt.

Yes. I use this in place of the bedframe that originally came with the mattress and box spring. I also don't use the box spring any more. Works great

Yes. I had slats that made my mattress sag and left marks. This is like a thin box spring and it has worked for me. Note that the dimensions were tight with my platform bed, but I love it.

I have a queen...my mattress sits on the platform. It sits almost flush with the inside edges of the 4 pieces of the bed frame.

I would think it would be fine. The bottom long rail goes under the mattress above the box spring. It works wonders for me as I have a high plantation bstyle bed I need a stepstool to get in it . The bed rail is such a help.

There has to be a hard surface for the Bed Claw to work. It can be one of the cross supports under the box springs (as mine is) or a solid wood subframe.

Not at all. I put my mattress in a bedbug cover and laid down a skirt for the frame, popped the bed right on top. I even got under the frame with my wife laying on the bed to check if a box spring could prove beneficial and it would probably make the bed sag if you were to use one. The support of the frame is phenomenal, and no box spring would be better. Not to mention you'd need to jump to get into bed with one, the platform is pretty high, and if you use a deep mattress your already pretty high off the ground.

It is not tall enough to go below both a mattress and a boxspring. If you only have the mattress on top of the bed frame it can work. The rail normally fastens with a belt around the boxspring, but could be adapted to fasten to the bed frame.

This probably depends on the bed frame. We have a flat piece of plywood under ours. Works perfectly! No box spring required. :)
