I want to convert a Kincaid king poster bed to a queen. How solid of a conversion will these provide?

It will not work. The width of the connections for a king bed is a total of 16 inches wider than the queen bed. You will have to use a bolt or screw on plate instead.

They are pretty solid. They are a little more solid than the brace they attach to on our king size bed frame.

We used this to attach a headboard to a bed frame and have a very solid connection, very easy to use also. Hope this helped.

I'd say your best bet is to measure your current bed - then if you look on Tuft & Needle's website you can compare it to the measurements they have listed for each bed size. :)

Just a thought (unless you have more than 48) -I understand they are posters, but with Exact-O precision, if you took off 1/8" from each side they would fit. If this is unthinkable, or the posters are indeed very valuable, perhaps you should frame them, or, as 'Carrie B' says get the next size portfolio up at 18" x 24". Of course if you want it to look nice, then you'd have to center mount them on 18x24 rice paper, or 'key' them back-to-back into a single leaf of combined poster weight paper (such as a 18x24 [70 lb stock sheet?] with a 13.25x19.25 rectangle cut-out in the center).

I converted an antique bed that wasn't even double size. The length of the new rails is determined by the queen size box spring/mattress. The width is covered by the extensions that are in the rails. It is quite simple and easy.

I wanted to thank the original poster for this question. I have an antique 3/4s four poster bed that I inherited and could not find a reasonably priced mattress for it. My parents commissioned a specially fitted mattress in the 1980s, but that one is in a state of disintegration. Being able to trim this one down would solve all of my problems, except for the sheets sadly, because I cannot afford the cost of a special order one.Thanks!

I don't think they will work. The pedestals on this bed look larger than the cups that would hold them on this platform.

I am not sure. The bed rails that I tried to use didn't seem to fit in the slots of the adapter well and it was not stable. I though after that perhaps I could have used a different type of rail and just screwed it in. I still have the one's I bought and have not used them. They are strong but I would use larger screws than what comes with in the packages. They are short and am not sure if they would withstand much weight.

No you don't, I just converted my old bed frame(wooden) into a platform bed. It just needs to be flat and solid. I think they sell some already made on here I think they are called mattress foundations that fit in your bed frame. Hope this helps and would be happy to answer anything else if I can.

These hooks are MUCH larger than they look in the photo. They would not fit into the grooves that were already in the headboard I had (which I had purchased at a consignment store). What I recommend is making sure you match the slots that currently exist in the head- or foot-board with the hooks themselves, to make certain that they're large enough to accommodate these giant hooks. Then on top of that, you need to worry about the difference in dimension from king to queen . . . I seriously doubt that this product will give you enough width to bridge the gap from king down to queen sized bed frame. I haven't seen your headboard/footboard, but an alternative (if the board legs are not skinny in width) would be drilling holes in the head/foot board an simply using long screws to attach the bed frame. For that you'd need to start with the dimensions of a queen sized bed frame and see if you can affix it to your head/foot board. IF you need an extender (and you likely will), this isn't the product for you. I would instead look for a product that is flat . . . I hope this makes sense. The thrift store headboard that I purchased was my summer DIY nightmare, far more complex than I could've imagined. :-)

Yes, I used two sets to convert my Queen Head and Foot boards to fit our new King mattress. They work really well with the slotted holes. I also bought the extension brkts. you see in the picture.

I went from full to queen size and it worked for me. I tried a different adapter prior to this and it didn't expand far enough. Measure the holes from the rails to the holes in the headboard on each side to be sure it will fit.

hi, the 4 ends stick out a good foot from each side. Not a problem as this only weighs 10 pounds and can be pushed in (bentto touch the side of a queen bed. Thats what I did. There is no way to bolt the foot board to a bed frame so beware. 410 761 3366 glenn

It will still work but you don't need a product this expensive. Just get regular queen size bed rails. This is to convert a full size bed to a queen.

I think I did still some small pilot holes for the bolts i put in so I didnt split the wood. The holes on the frame do not line up perfectly with the preset holes on the head/footboard. I used the bottom preset holes and then drilled/bolted directly into the headboard Measure to figure out what works for you bit these did the trick pretty easily to convert the crib.

We're not sure. We ended up getting wooden ones instead that worked great. These didn't work for our king size bed. We never tried them on a full. I'd suggest getting wooden ones. Much more trustworthy than plastic.Honey-Can-Do STO-01150 Wood Bed Lifts, Maple Finish, 4-Pack

Sorry, I have the queen-sized version and do not possess that information. Contact the vendor as they are very nice to deal with. Very commited to CS.
